330mm will fit under 17's so should **** 18's

but like all wheels need tobe carefull off the offset and spoke clearnace, cant imagine it will be an issue though

Hi
Most 18" wheels will clear , only seen a few over the years that didn't , and these didn't even fit over standard brakes.
What wheels are you looking to buy ?
Cheers Ian

I know 18s will Def fit it's just the offset I'm trying to workout so it clears the calipers.

Surely answering Ian (above, post 5), would be the sensible thing, guy?

He makes the kits, after all..........

Wheels are a tricky thing , I've got 4 pots and use 17" speed line wheels, they clear 4 pots by about 2mm , ice tried 3 sets of 17s and none have cleared 4 pots. Some 18s haven't cleared either . Good luck bud
