Much has been said about fitting 18inch spiders to cerberas,ie look great but can catch a bit.Is this because these wheels were originally designed for the tuscan or do all 18 inch wheels cause slight problems.Im toying with buying some after market wheels and thought if the correct offset,size combination is used they should fit just like the 16inchers.Any ideas?

Nothing much to add except that mine seem OK.

Mine are OK as well, but came factory fitted from new so don't know if any adjustment would be required if fitting retrospectively?

The 18inch spiders do the cerbera no favours re turning circle. They have the wrong offset and so need spacers and amendments to turning circle.

Totally agree with turning circle point, and also slow, in-town driving. Anything else is AOK. But look great! Turning circle no worse than wife's ex-911 or most Mercs.
