Front..
18"x8.5" 25et 225x40x18 tires Also has a 10mm spacer for brake clearance.
18"x9.5" 30et 255x35x18 tires.

M,

so that makes your front et effectively 35mm, correct?

The lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out (or more clearance) I believe (can't remember) that the OEM TT offset for front is 25. So by having ET25 fronts (M and I have the same wheels) I needed NO spacer for my Brembos (or APs) Marcus has the larger (996 big reds) so he needed a 10mm spacer to be sure of clearance

grr...


i'm trying to figure this out, cause i may be spending a stupid amount of money so i never have to buy wheels again.


but, i'd like to make sure that since i'm going to all the trouble and expense that i won't ever need spacers again either... dunno where they'll have to be to clear my brakes without rubbing in the fenders...

so when are you getting your sick roadster back Chris? and I thought you were getting some sick blue'sh color but now I read back to black?

dannyTTnyc

isn the OEM offset 32 all around?

TTigg

like I said - wasn't sure but I knew it was 30 something

I think it's 35ET. The offset of the OEM wheels is just 32ET.

But, with this setup your front wheel is closer to the fender than the rear...Would n't it be ideal to put a 10mm spacer in the rear too, to make it symmetrical? So, the extra 12mm of your rear wheel pushed more out because of 1" wider, will make it look perfect (like all of us who usually use 10mm bigger spacer for the rear). Just a thought. But anyway, your car is awesome...

Curious to know how both compare because I plan on getting the LM's and I would prefer to not use spacers unless absolutely necessary. So Brembos are very appealing to me as long as performance is equivalent to the big reds.
