TSW Nurburgring 18x10.5 +27 || Falken RT-615k 295/40R18 - Will It Work?
Anybody ever tried/considered this combo on their 11+ GT w/ Brembos? My total out the door price (shipped/mounted/balanced) is right around $1900, and I can't find ANYTHING else out there with the same price/performance ratio as this. What concerns me is:
1.) Caliper clearance
2.) Strut/fender rub in the front
3.) Tires outside the fender in the rear
Unfortunately, I don't know the backspacing on these wheels, but my best guess is it'll barely tuck into the front and clear the struts/calipers, but will be MASSIVELY outside the fender in the rear.
Comments appreciated!

Lots of Nurburgring wheels running on Brembo equipped cars. My Interlagos for example the other rotary forged wheel from TSW. But there are a few different offsets available I haven't seem mine for sale in quite some time.
The rotary forged wheels are good wheels only two styles I know of the Nurburgring and Interlagos wheels. These are light, strong and priced lower than most rotary forged wheels. Other TSW wheels might be good but they are cast so they are heavier, cheaper and probably a bit softer.
Just for completeness, thought I'd update the thread.
Ended up going with the SVE Drift 18x10 +43 wheels. Tough to beat the $150/wheel price point, and while 24lbs isn't what I'd consider light for this size, they aren't anchors either, and can fit a 295 tire with ease. Bonus that they'll clear the front Brembos without a spacer, and not end up outside the rear fender. Consider me content
