Brembos and Sky wheels?

Is there anyone here running this combination? I did a search and found that the wheels should fit, but there was no mention as to possible interference with the larger calipers of the Brembos. The wheels don't have rubber, and from other posts it sounds like the largest tire I can go with will be a 235/40/18.

Thanks, Padre.

The SSR wheels I have are for Solstice/Sky and to be honest it wouldn't be worth the extra effort to install them if I the rims weren't on close out pricing.

There wheels have a 55mm offset, you will have to use 15mm spacers (preferably hub centric to your hub and the wheel) the hubs are 65.1 (same as ours). You will also need to use longer wheel studs, preferably ARP 3.25" long.

In my opinion, unless you can get them really cheap as I stated above, I wouldn't try it. By the time you spend money on the extra stuff needed you could have bought a nice set that fit your car without any extras involved.

Thanks SSouth. That's exactly what I was looking for. There is someone local who has wheels only for 400$, so I was considering it, mainly to have something to put some winter tires on.
