Yes it will clear your brembos and I am assuming its the Mid style.

However, have you done any front or rear fender modifications? These wheels will stick out about 2cm more than the oem fender line.

They will clear brakes/suspension, however, they sit 12mm outside fenders. Major fender/liner mods required to avoid rubbing.

Mmmm.. Not good,

can't decide on a rim! i dont really wanna have to modify my fenders to much, ive spent hours & hours trying to find the right rim, one that looks good & is 18 x 8 - 8.5. All the ones I like are 18 x 9.5 tho.

Ordered my wheels today, decided on the RS05RR Enkei's 18 x 9.5 +22, they're my favourite by far, will do what i need to do to make them work, gotta wait a month n a half though ..... got the Cusco Street Zero A's aswel, coming next friday, Dampener adjustment x40, height adjustment, pillow ball upper mounts, no control module, will post some photo's etc when it's all been taken care of.

Cheers,

Josh.

Not entirely sure yet, but thinking a 245/40, I've read that a 245 will 'help' to decrease scrubbing issues as appose to a 255 or 265 which will come in to contact with the guard a little more, 245 isn't to stretched either so should look good to.

Tyre shop employee at my work seems to think a 245 will look " balloonyy ". :s not sure.

Went with the gun metal.

Do you guys even offer those wheels? I've seen Enkei wheels but never those available and limited sizes too.

We have very very limited stock on those at the moment as they are a new item for us. The fitment mentioned by the op will eventually be in inventory once our initial shipments start coming.
