Im running 18" R32 reps with 5mm spacers so shouldnt be a problem.
LCR's seem to cropping up a lot here, guessing thats the setup to go for?
Cheers, Hoggy.
you need at least a 15mm(30mm total) spacer for r32 wheels fit over lcr brembos.
Not necessarily, normally R32 reps are et35, plus a 5mm spacer gives you et30.
I think the standard 18" LCR alloys are 7.5J et38 (8mm less clearance) and obviously they clear the brembos, but only just, although their spokes bow outwards which gives extra room inside the wheel.
Understanding wheel offset can be a bit of a ball-ache! Anyway I reckon as long as the back of the spokes aren't too deep into the wheel then 18" et30(incl spacer) should do it, we're talking within mm's though! If you were to fit a 10mm spacer(20mm total) you'd have an offset(et)25, prob have the room for 996/Boxster S fronts, although there's less messing around to fit the LCR setup and is almost on par with the porsche setup on a mk4.
I have an LCR brembo setup in my garage waiting to go on(not til Aug/Sept time though
), my wheels are 18" BBS RC 8j et32 which I'm hoping might just clear, if not then a 5mm spacer will defo do it.
Be interesting to see how you get on dude, it's been done many times before so shouldn't be too difficult!
Good luck whatever you decide to do!
I need to go and lay down now
