    Hi guys, I am possibly looking at a set of wheels 18x8.5 +35 F & 18x9.5 +35 R (Aodhan AH02). The vendor has raised the question of if the front calipers will clear or not. He says there is 35mm of clearance from the hub on these. Anyone know if this would be enough?

    it can also depend on spoke shape, only way to tell is to bolt one on as far as I am concerned

    35mm does not sound like much. Test fit or wheel template is the only way for sure.

    Thanks guys, ended up firing the question to the manufacturer and they indicated it was a no-go.

    Managed to pick up a set of Racing Hart Type C 17x8 +30 & 17x9 +30 in really good nick second hand instead. These are literally exactly the rims I used to have on my old Gunmetal Grey Z before it was totaled. Perfect.
