AP caliper clearance - wheel choices

17x8, perfect shape to the back of them, no spacer required at ET35

Nice, I don't fancy spacers on the front really if I ever get a set of wheels. I did try Rob's Schmidt Modern Lines on but they needed about a 5mm spacer on the front They looked pretty awesome though, and 16 x 9 too

Ye, tried some LM reps with ET35, needed 22mm of spacing to clear caliper lol.

Haha, I didnt even look at 16's, want to be able to not worry about sump issues etc, so 17's are pretty safe.

What size tyres are you sticking on them? Will be interesting on the front if your sticking proper size tyres on look lovely though, proper motorsport look!

Was tempted to get my newuns in 8's but went 7.5 in the end, have asked for et35 front and et25 rear so i can sack off spacers. Was tempted by 16's with a 45 profile tyre so road clearance would be about the same but didn't want them to not clear the brakes! Proper pain these brakes!

Lol aren't they just, they do look the part though, just can't see why they couldn't manage like Brembo and still allow a big choice of wheels to fit over them!

I'm gonna run 205/40/17, not sure if that classes as a sensible size or not

Ye, I didn't want spacers up front and I've got 20mm for the rear as literally last week sold my 15's, so think I'll be buying some more, as I can't see with 20mm working, would be ET15 on an 8, the ET21 the standards now are on the rear scrub sometimes as it is.

May get interesting on the front round the twisties

I used to run et20 on the back with 8.5 inch wide wheel and 205 tyre. Used to rub a tad but only on the sidewall haha

 

[Ed_Sutch]

It'll be fine, I've ran 165/45 on a 7 before, so this'll be nothing lol
Ah hopefully I may get away with that on the rear then, trial and error I guess.

They look very nice! Good to see them when they are all finished. Much clearance on the calipers?

Anybody know if porsche boxters fit in the various sizes. Have been looking at 7 or 7.5 up front then 8.5 or 9 out back but cant work out offsets/spacers/adaptors for toffee

I don't know if they do, but I was original going to go for 7.5 and 8.5's and get some adapters as they've got such a high offset I think they'd work.

They will work and I reckon they will easy clear the ap calipers without even trying haha

So much clearance on my old fr
