v5 man i asked the same question, and someone phoned them and was told this.

"Had an email from Richard brown regarding 18" rims. rota do not make that size at the mo.but are looking into it. maybe for the future."

Hi guys,

I want to buy the Redlines.

Do one of you has experience fitting them together with a Brembo or Stoptech Big brake kit.

I'm a bit nervous to get space problems as I also want to buy one of these kits the next month ....

Very interested in your answers !

That's my car Ray! With different wheels on

Look nice! Think I need a set too! Might get the Boost instead tho! I need 4 tyres anyway, so it makes sense!

Monkeh! Ive got 215/45/17,s on my MY99 at the mo with no problems at all, so they should easily fit on yours! Just jack the car up and try the rear first, and see what the clearance is, but it should p**s it
