Default PFF7 18" or Prodrive P1-WRC 18" for my P1

Hi all,

I would like to get some feedback and your guys opinions on which wheels to go for.

I'm putting on Rear AP Racing 335mm brakes on my P1 and I need 18" set of wheels for clearance. I currently have 17" OZ Prodrive wheels which my front 330mm AP brakes clear.

Should I go for the PFF7's or would that ruin the look and style of my P1, or should I go for the Prodrive ones? Considering Prodrive come in two different offsets, ET53 and ET46 I'm not sure which ones I would need to look for to clear the brakes.

Any advice would be helpful.

Pretty sure u need et46 and I think 355 will clear with this offset, someone may confirm but they are the wheels I have and am going for 6 pot 355 on front

Original OZ wheels for the P1 are ET53 IIRC

They are but the offset ain't great for clearing big brakes

With et46 you may get arch rubbing issue on the back. Et53 will clear AP's easily, brembo are the more problematic.

I managed to reluctantly fit my 17" OZ wheels onto my Rear AP 335mm brakes with ease! I was worried for a moment that I was going to need to buy 18" wheels but now I'm very happy with the surprised result.

Wheels need a refurb but this is how it looks like for all those who wouldn't have thought that 335mm brakes would fit under 17's.

Stops like a train now!
