So I've decided to get myself a set of track day wheels and tyres. I found a set of AMR OZ GT4 rims 18x10J / 18x11J with part worn tyres for a decent price.

Trouble is that I'm now hearing that they might not fit my V8VS. I have rack stops in my car already but the problem is the larger brake calliper on the S. It's a chunkier thing that the lightweight endurance Brembo that the GT4 cars used to run.

Anyone know for sure ?

The vendor is sure they fit a 4.7 (which I am pretty sure has the same brakes as the S) BUT the doubt has been cast be someone who really does know their onions (although they admit is was a long time ago that they tried and can't be certain)

I'd like to know before I make a proper wobble of myself

Be careful with the "...fits a 4.7...". I'm not a brakes expert but, as far as I know, the earlier 4.7's had smaller brakes but the later ones, like my 2015 non-S, inherited the larger 'S' brakes. So a smaller ID wheel or ones where the spokes encroach more inboard might fit an earlier 4.7 but not a later one.

I think the change came in at 2012.25 MY

Ok - so I’ve tried them on the car and they fit.

Do any of my sister and brother track bunnies have a favourite tyre? I’m thinking Toyo R888R or Michelin PIlot cup2R

Not sure I can get them in the right size for the rears (295 18)

It’s a shame because I like them to drive on
