The 18x8 OZ SL do clear 328 stoptech without spacers, but barely

I got my supperleggeras from Tire Rack the day after they shipped. Put one wheel on and the caliper clearance is about 3-4 mm. I took it off and ordered the H&R 15 and 20 mm spacers from ECS. But now I am wondering why I spent so much time trying to find wheels that fit without spacers... Any 18x8 or 18x8.5 would probably have worked.

Also ordered my Bilstiens. Deciding between full Kmac and ECS adjutable tie bars.

Another thing, I got the Bridgestone RE750 to save some money and they are some of the ugliest tires i have ever seen. They have this rim gaurd rubber strip that makes them look like they don't fit right. Cant see it any of the pictures I saw online.

I'll post pics, if I ever get my camera back from Canon.

Good to hear Aaron, sorry I didn't have time sooner to test

I prefer spacers anyways so you got a great setup in progress there.

Thanks for the help with this...

I made a masonite brake template and it fit exactly how the brakes fit. I think the tire rack guys must have messed up their page scaling when they printed up the template.
