2.6 to 5m and a few seconds can be the difference between life and death.

I agree with on this especially with a heavy car large brakes would be confidence inspiring, it would be interesting to know how much of a difference a a good brake pad makes on the stock 2 caliper

Or a rotor upgrade on the stock 2pot caliper is worth it

Based on some research found some rims that would fit Brembo brakes - Not sure about Enkei , but the rest of the wheels should fit Brembo's and even possibly AP Racing.

18 " Wheels ( Name Width Offset)

Koya
SF01,SF03,SF05 8.0 Custom

BBS
SR 8.0 32
SX 8.0 30

TSW
Nurenberg 8.0 35

Team Dynamics - V8 Supercar
ProRace 1.2 8.0,9.0 Custom
ProRace 1.3 8.5,10.0 Custom

VMR - Mars Performance
VMR 701,705,710,721,810

Forgeline Possible fit , pricey $$
GA3R 7-15 in 0.5 increments , Custom ?

Enkei - Could possibly fit the brakes esp TX05 ,TSP6 & M52
M52 8.0 P32
TSP6 8.5 P35
TX05 8.5 P35

Raijin 8.5 P38
PF01 8.0 P35
EKM3 8.0 P32

I have run several SSV 19" with Eibach TÜV adaptors:
Four pot Brembos under 19” VE SSV

(Eibach TÜV adaptors)
Never seen six piston Brembos under 18".
I am considering these 18" VFII Calais with the Eibach adaptors:

Also worth noting are DRAG DR 37 wheels that yanks spec with the Brembos under 18":

I like the Team Dynamics, brilliant gear and good price, just is hard to beat Calais 18" drop forged Alcoa with tyres for $100-$200 a wheel on eBay o_O

Thanks for the pics . Look like there is good clearance with the DRAG 37 wheels , are they available here ?

I was thinking of the Holden OEM wheels as well , but aren't the spacers illegal in Victoria ?

Rim diameter is important when fitting big brake calipers but it’s the centre design that is crucial.

As a general rule any rim design with a flat face centre should accommodate big calipers.

After that, think about your rotor size.

Don'y think DRAG brand here, no sorry.
About as illegal in terms of widening the track as running rims with offset of P35 or less on a Zeta, same as Porsche TÜV (guaranteed for life) vs Asian aftermarket rims with no recourse.
It is not something you can observe unless with wheels off. Nowhere near as illegal (re zero fine imposed, remedy required) vs disabling emissions gear and switching to High Flow Cats when you install headers, CAI and tune for example. Like everybody does.
I put it in the same basket as running six pots without a cert., bolt-on / bolt-off. Never anyone including genuine those in policing have observed an issue with good stance on stock rims.

Group buy on some Drag DR37? They look easy to clean

Edit: seen some on car pics and they don't look so great
