So, just upgraded to GT2 brakes and now the lovely TechArt Daytonas won't fit!

(pictured below)







What kind of choices do I have? Of course for example BBS Racings and many other fit, but I want to hear from your experience what fits and what won't...So please, help a guy and say what you got

I know OEM & GT2 wheels are one way to go - that's what I got already for track use.

Or should I be a bit risky and buy a 18" set wheels (with lip hopefully...sadly the spokes will come closer to calipers) and hope they'll fit?

btw. no problems with 19" wheels at all?

Was any fender modification needed to fit the GT2 wheels for track use? and what suspension are you running?

Links, the GT2 wheels "should" fit without modifications. With some cars and suspensions setups you might have to do something in rear. (Actually I've got the Turbo wheels with spacers at the track, so no problems at all)

damon, the smaller one...that's why I'm surprised those nice Techarts don't fit anymore.
