18" Wheels that fit Brembos, Stinger GT

[Ohiocruiser]

Will the factory GT 18"s fit the GT2 AWD?

Yes

 

[71buickfreak]

Yes

Thanks.

Will the factory GT 18"s fit the GT2 AWD?

Yes. All the Stinger trim wheels are interchangeable. Stock square 18s have a 34 offset.

Are you keeping this list in like google docs or somewhere we can all find it?

 

[ht_addict]

Have these with my Winters

 

[Kasragotstung]

Confirmed to fit:

Euro Design Tech Matte Gun Metal
18x8/5x114.3
Center Bore: 72.6
Offset: 35

Would the 20 offset fit aswell?

I have Fast EV02 18inch and they fit perfectly, came from the dealer as a winter tire package.

Would Gram Lights 57NRs fit? I want to run a 18x8.5 +36 offset in the front, and that is my biggest concern. They seem to fit, I know some guys can stick the 18in RPF1s on the stinger but I never asked for their specs

RPF1 18x8.5 ET40. The wheel by itself would mount on front and rear without hitting any suspension parts. The tire, however, will not. Some might clear the strut with 5mm spacers. Others might need up to 10mm to clear.

Noted. I'll keep that in mind and see if there's a more aggressive offset as well. I want to minimize any use of spacers if possible, and I still want the staggered setup. Tires are cheaper in 18s as well so more flat footing for me

Just FYI, RPF1 18x9 ET35 will NOT fit on the front. Learned that the hard way.

I would imagine so since rim/tire would probably rub or hit the strut tower? I'm sticking with 18x8.5

The spokes wouldn't clear the calipers. Even with 2/5mm spacers.

Oh shoot. Dang it guess i will have to find someone with a set to see if with the ET36 offset it will clear the brakes then. I would imagine so since the 57NR has a slight concavity so hopefully that falls in my favor.

That's because Enkei makes anything wider that 8.5" in that wheel with an R face, meant for rear wheel applications. So the spokes are more curved.

Konig does the same, except calling their A and B profiles.

Is it safe to assume Rays/Gran Lights follow the same ruling. I see their diagram but don't see any text explanation.

I'm not familiar with those, but if I have to bet money on it, I would say yes. I would check with the mfr or distributor to get word from the horse's mouth.

That said... true forged wheels could have enough strength for the spokes to be curved sufficiently for brake caliper clearance, even with wider wheels. That is the main advantage they have over flow-formed wheels, whose front face (hub, spokes) remains basically cast.

I did think about Weds TC105X, ET 32 Front and ET 43 rear, again, didn't fully understand what Face 1 meant but it is a lot like Konig's and Rays diagrams

They sure are nice, but that last 1 or 2 lbs of weight savings start to cost disproportionately more. Tough to justify in my book.

Love those wide spokes. Easy to clean.
