Whats the final word on fitting wheels over the Brembo's? Has any one fitted a smaller wheel yet?

I think 19s will fit. I know ADM performance offers 19 inch wheels. I don't think we are stuck with 20's ...

He's the OP. The first response had nothing to do with his question.

Overlooked him as the OP, haha, oops. I guess I deserved the 3x facepalm. That's what I get for being a little too anxious. I can assume with the proper offset, the wheel would clear the side of the caliper. However, I guess the bigger question is height wise will the top of the caliper clear the wheel. If you are dead set on getting a smaller wheel for track use, let's hope Stoptech offers a brake upgrade for this car. Their ST-60 and ST-40 calipers should be an excellent upgrade and possibly open up the wheel choices due to their narrower construction.

Haha, I hated that stupid facepalm smiley at first, but now I just embrace it
