Will 18 inch Steels fit over brembos?

I have a 2LT/RS I'm putting Brembos on. I've seen many post about this topic, with discussions about various 18 wheels that will fit. But does anyone know if the 18 inch steel or alloy OEM wheels will fit over them without the lead stick on weights, or the newer small disc shaped dampeners.

It's not the rim diameter that's the problem, it's the spoke clearance and possibly the brake line needing moved. Give it a try, see what happens. I don't recall anyone trying it, everyone just assumes it won't work.

Yeah, from what I've read its mixed feelings. Some say yes others no, but no ones tried. I don't want to get stuck with just a steel rim.

Put the Brembos on, and change to the 20" rims. Problem solved!

Enjoy...
