Thanks Mike.
I picked up some 350Z 18" anniv wheels for winter.
They worked out great... tons of clearance.
I'll post a pic of the clearance when I get home.
Dirty wheel pic as promised.

As you can see there's lots of clearance at the spoke & at the barrel

good to know with the 350z wheels

i have a set for....spirited driving... at the local closed course
glad to see theres plenty of clearance on a BBK - i have the g37 19s and knew that'd clear

now that you're car is nearing "completion" or at least has a bunch of stuff done now it's gorgeous! looks great, very classy - how hard was the mt fuji relocate?

Dirty wheels = brake dust = spirited driving = enjoying the car. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for the pic!
