Will all 18" wheels clear blue brakes?

PackPride85 · 09-26-2022, 06:05 AM

I'm looking at a set of Konigs for 18" track wheels for my OG. The 18x9.5 35 offset wheel is listed as profile "B" which is "more concave less caliper clearance". They are a good deal for $300/wheel and are flow formed. Just not sure if there might be caliper clearance issues based on that verbiage.

It's probably OK, but you won't know for sure until you try...

I have 18x8 et35 (or maybe et32) that I use for winter, cheapo MSW (sub-brand of OZ) from TireRack that clear though...

Yeah after doing some research I'm likely going to grab either some apex or bimmerworld wheels that are guaranteed to fit. With non tested ones it seems I run the risk of wheels that are too far inset on the spokes and won't clear the calipers.

If you tell them your car, TireRack will only offer options that have been tested, too. But their 18" stuff usually tends to be winter-focused IME.
