I'd like to see what 18" wheels look like on an FMJ. If you have them, please post some pics and specs of the wheels.

Good man! Here's the question. On the fronts with the tire facing forward center, how much space do you have between the front tire and edge of the front fender? How much clearance do you also have when you turn? Lastly, what is the overall tire diameter?

...I was originally planning on going with a Brembo Viper caliper setup with 13" rotors up front - that's why 18" wheel went on. I changed direction as I couldn't justify $2k on brakes alone for the front end. Ended up going with 11.75" slotted and drilled rotors with 4 piston Wilwood calipers. This setup will supposedly fit under a 15" wheel, although I haven't tried it...View attachment 39802
Damn...so tell us more about the specifics of that caliper setup!
I don't put enough miles on my coupe, but you can never have enough braking power, so if I was looking for an upgrade that would allow me to keep my 11.75" disc you bet this would be the way to go.
Come better weather and a lot less of that pandemic feeling (plus the border openning up) I'd be happy to swing on by with my coupe that is sporting the 15" rims, you know for the benefits to humanity of course... lol!
I just put some factory 2006 Chrysler 300 18inch rims and tires on minimal rubbing once i put the air shocks back on

Not a bit, at least on the chrome clad ones did have to bore out the center of a plain aluminum one i had to run until i can find the fourth one to match. The 9 spoke chrome clad ones go straight on and I think look great.I see you're on the West side of the state. I'm just Northeast of Warren.
I really do like how that looks. You didn't run into issues with the bolt pattern being 114.3mm?
