Does anyone know what the smallest inside wheel diameter that will fit over a set of V8 Supercar Alcon brakes?

I know the V8's run a 17" wheel, But they are a very thin wall racecar wheel, And a lot of 18's don't fit over them.

:worship:

Have you not just answered your own question?

Diameter is possibly the least of your problems. Getting wheels with enough space behind the spokes can be a challenge too.

Have a look in the for sale section. Someone is selling a set.

I'm running 18's, But not all 18's have the same inside diameter.....That's why I need a size, i.e cm of inside.

I'm not sure what size rotors and then calipers you have but i've got 8pots over 365s, I assume yours are bigger but maybe thinner caliper.

Lmgt4s/Te37, at a 17" fit over them easily and have more than enough room, both diameter and spoke spacing, especially with a +12/15 offset.

FFS. Ask the guy selling the bloody set.

Settle Petal! :spank:

I have found his post, And he shows a set of 18" Enkei RPF1 wheels over them, So it looks like they will fit.

Cheers for pointing out them out.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
