If there is someone somewhat near ECS that would be willing to trade wheels for a few weeks with me, I have 18" '08 3.0R's and need to swap with something that will clear brembos JUST TEMPORARILY. or just have a **** wheel with **** tires that i can borrow that will clear.

I have a set of P1's that i'm going to try with some spacers, but if that doesn't work i'm effed.

I know this is a crazy longshot but i need to get my car home.

Please call me @ 802-579-8277 if you have a possibility.

Thanks!

Rob,
how's the 18"s not clearing the Brembos? I have 5mm spacers I can bring with me when I pick up my car tomorrow. Do you think that will be enough to clear the brakes?

PM me.

Well, with the spoke design, even with two 5mm stacked spacers, it still wouldn't clear (it actually would take 3 of them, which is just retarded to even think of doing.)

I was able to get a set of 04 sti bbs's from a friend today so the car is home, and the hunt for wheels begin's yet again.

I really liked actually how the bbs's look on the car, so tarmac III's are coming to mind as a possibility.

So for reference, 07-08 3.0R 18's and 17" prodrive P1's do NOT clear brembo's, even with spacers on both.
