I've been running 18" AMR wheels on all four corners for my "competition" tires when I go to autocross events. They fit perfect with the stock GT brakes.
Yesterday, I installed a GT500 brake kit (the older 4-piston one found on the BOSS 302, etc). According to your website, the 18" wheels will fit on GT500s equipped with these brakes.
This morning, I decided to make sure they fit. The spokes and everything cleared the brakes with plenty of room to spare. The inside concave surface of the wheel was a tight fit, but there seemed to still be enough tolerance. The problem is that the stick-on wheel weights do not clear the calipers. I tried to take a picture of this as best I could.
To me, these wheel weights look like they're not close enough to the outside edge of that surface. It's hard to tell from the picture, but they could be moved "closer" (towards the camera) by about an inch or so. I think that would enable them to clear the calipers as the largest part of the caliper is right where the wheel weights are sitting right now.
Have you folks had any experience fitting the 18" AMR wheels to Brembo-equipped cars? If moving the weights doesn't fix this issue, could the older hammer-on-style weights be used instead?
