I’m interested to know if anyone has bought a set of 18 inch wheels and maybe the 305 width tyres like the GT4s have. I understand on standard suspension it’s probably not going to be perfect due to the suspension effect of higher profile tyres.
The other thing I’d be interested to know if if the combination of tyre and rim is lower than on the 20 inch set for the same brands and models.

Haven’t bought them, but there is a tuning shop in China that offers 18s for the Emira and they work with OEM brakes. 9” wide on the front, 11 on the back with 265 and 305.

I thought 18's wouldn't work as they won't clear the parking brake actuator.
