18” wheels on a C63s…

Anyone here have a c63s (red caliper) that has 18” wheels that clear the red giant af caliper???

I’m wondering which wheel companies make an 18” wheel that is compatible with my setup.

thanks in advance.

if you’re wondering why? I want 18” wheels for the track

18" won't fit over the larger S brakes. I believe they fit over the smaller non-S brakes, though.

Figured.. thanks man. I know it'll be a downgrade to go with the non s spindle/caliper/rotors but I might just have to go down that route.

im sad... lol another member mentioned only non s will fit and it would be dumb to downgrade to non s parts but then again.. if it can be done why not? im already making cooling ducts for the front brakes so I won't sacrifice heating issues with the front calipers with the non S calipers.

Thanks for your reply btw!

Anytime, if your already in the works with the cooling ducts then why not. You can always switch them out at your leisure anyway!
