Back to wheel fitment / brake caliper clearance...

I was thinking... ATS-V comes with 4 piston Brembo. So I went onto ATS-V forum to see what they are using for winter wheels. They are using 18 wheels for 255/45/18 tires.

I know it will be different off-set for us, different overall diameter tires, etc... (255/45/18 is little too small, comparing to Camaro stock tires. Would be still drive-able, but wheel speed won't be correct. If 18" will work, I want to go with 245/50/18 all around if possible)

All I wanted to check was IF the 4 piston brembo will clear 18 or not. According to what I saw, it will.

I'm checking with a friend at Brembo, to see if Camaro's 4 piston and ATS-V's 4 piston are same (or at least dimension wise).

If 18" will clear, it will open up much more option for us when it comes to winter wheels/tires.

I know there are winter tires for OE stock tires size for Camaro, but I don't want to spend $1,600 just for winter tires, if I can avoid it.
