I have used 17x8 & 18x8 BBS VZ, and 17x8 OZ Crono with my Stoptechs, they all fit fine

How close is it? They still have my old custom hats those are 3mm thicker than normal...if you're

close, you might just be able to do that...otherwise you need new wheels 18" RE's work. OZ SuperLeg's work...lots of stuff fits.

Depending, you might be able to use spacers.

I'm sorry to hear it but your following the "measure once, cut twice and its still too short" rule.

I had to sell my winter tires and summer tires and upgrade to 17" used S4 rims for winter and 18" BBS for summer. Upgrading your breaks is not cheap. But it is worth it. Unfortunately after you spend all of the money time and effort it makes the $$ of my APR S3 look relatively cheap.
