Looking at the MB Wheel Alpina Model - (2nd from the top in this link). Wheel Link


I believe the offset on these is 40mm.

Discount tire direct says they'll clear the brakes on the 6mt. Been reading elsewhere that not all 18" wheels fit this application (with the big brakes). How do I confirm without actually trying them on the car [eta sometime in 2 months]?

 

I went through Discount Tire for snow wheels & tires. They were well informed (and verified it with the warehouse) about which wheels would clear the BBK even though they have them listed as Brembos.

 

Rks, tirerack seemed well informed about wheels for my last car too, but turned out their database was incorrect. The wheels did not clear the front brakes (although fit perfectly on the back). Just trying to avoid hassle when the car actually gets here in the middle of winter.

 

I understand, I actually went to the shop to verify fit and it did. I ended up with:

Wheel Details - Discount Tire all around and they fit the bbk fine.
