LCR brembo 308's seem a tight fit under 17's then.

Should 360mm's go under most 18's then? (if the calliper has clearance on the spokes that is)

312's can fit under 16's, I know that as a mate runs them.
The size is partly for performance but also for show (big plans, also evolving companies, are in the pipeline for the new one)
