Will 18" rims fit over the Rear brakes on the M2C?

Gang,

I'm looking to buy the Essex AP front kit for my M2C.

I'm wondering if anyone has test fit any 18" rims on the OEM rears yet?

I'm looking to run 18" rims for track & auto x and was hoping some 18" rims would work on the stock brakes in the rear.

Thx in advance,
Steve

Yes, I saw 18's fit the unmodified rears of the TC Kline M2C a few weeks ago.

That said, don't know what offset, but I think you've got plenty of room to work with versus the fronts which you're fixing with the essex kit.

THX ATC....

That's the ticket, running the ESSEX BBK up front and the OEM rears until I can sell both F&R's OEM's.

Running 18's on this car opens up much more tire selection and lower cost of consumables...
