Hi Forum,

I'm shopping for some wheels for the track for my 07 Nismo. Tires are hella expensive for that rear 19 and I moved up a class... so no more street tires at the track :-)

A member posted locally on craigslist and has a 18x10.5 + 15 for the back and 18x9.5 + 15 for the front. I plan on tossing 285/275 x 40 in the back for tires and 255/40 in the front.

Question: Will these clear the brembo calipers? I would like to avoid fender rolling.

 

If you get 285's you WILL be rolling.

275 might rub but not as bad as the 285's. As for the brembos I believe those offsets will clear OEM calipers. I don't think it will clear big brake kits.

Lots of guys run that set up and should be able to clear your questions soon.

18x10.5's on 275's are going to be my future set up once I get my FI problems resolved.

 

They will work fine with the oem brembos.

 

I have the same setup. 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 +15 with oem brembos. 255/40/18 will work. I was rubbing a tiny bit on bumps cause my car was low and I had set my aftermarket camber arms to only -1.5 degrees camber. At stock height the 255/40/18 worked fine without rubbing. 275/40/18 in the rear you're most likely gonna want a roll. You can get away without rolling but on big bumps it'll rub. I was rubbing my 275/40/18 when my car was at stock height.

 

i have enkei rpf01 18x9.5 +15 F/R and hankook ventus v12 255/275 F/R with akebono calipers.

275s don't rub in the back for me since rear fenders were rolled before i got the set up. there was SLIGHT rubbing of caliper on wheel barrel first few miles after caliper installation then it basically wore itself down and that has stopped since. The brembos are a bit smaller than akebonos i believe so you should be good.
