Hi there, i found a listing for a set of winter tires. I have stock 18 inch rims with brembos.

The listing is for a set of 2005 17 inch rims with winter tread.

I couldn't find anything from previous posts but im sure someone has asked already.

If someone knows please let me know if their will be a clearance issue with the brembos.

thank you

 

OEM Coupe 17's usually need a 3mm spacer to clear, some people have gotten them to clear without a spacer but it will be very close

 

sorry just to clearify, 3 mm would be minimum spacer needed?
I did find 5 mm on ebay just for reference.

But i would rather go with the 3 mm if the orginal lugs would still fit or would i need new ones? but if needed i dont mind going thicker.

thanks for your quick reply.

3 MM minimum?
would OEM lugs still fit?
would bigger than 3mm be needed?

 

Here's my 03 6MT on 17" snow pack back in the day. No spacers needed.

 

wow, looks kinda funny with snow tires and small rims eh?

thanks for the input again,
just to clearify any 17inch rim would fit, these ones im looking at are off 2005 g35 dont know about yours. dont know if it would make any difference.

i attached the pics

 

Hey, function over style for winter lol

 

Only 1-2mm of clearance is actually needed. 3mm is the smallest spacer you can find though, and can be used with OEM studs/lugs. With 5mm spacers, new longer studs are recommend. Your wheels don't look like the OEM coupe wheels though so I don't know what the clearance is like on those

 

did anyone try to wear r16 on brembos? rear wheels

 

i imagine 17s with the right offset would clear...
