I was looking at buying a set of these in 15's for lapping.
Question: They come in 2 different offset options, 35 and 41. I'm assuming both actually fit, does anyone have these wheels and could give opinion?
As well do they clear the wilwood kit in the front.
Cheers.

Both wheels should fit the older R53 with more rear clearance using the more aggressive +35mm offset which makes the wheel stick farther outside the car's wheel well.

In general I would recommend the +35mm offset for more clearance but I think you will find that this adds a little weight vs the +42mm offset. Whenever I see two offsets the more aggressive offset weighs more.

Not a big deal.

Tire size makes a difference especially if you are lowered. Too wide will give less clearance and too tall can risk rubbing.

205/50-15, 225/45-15 and up to 225/50-15 will work.

For wilwood clearance contact Todd at TCE brakes.
