ET is way too low for a classic on 8 inch rims.
They are also multi fit which personally I hate and is a good wheel style ruined.

That's what I have on my bug now (Ultralite A-Tec)

If you were closer you'd be welcome to try them for size, but its a bit far to go!

Yep, they've got 225/40/18s on at the moment though which isn't right for classics - only just thought of that!

Really? Thought it was just you weren't a fan of them

Surprised they fit over my 356mm ksports then, I know Brembos are fat calipers but I've got a good amount of clearance....

That's interesting Brembos need to go on a diet then I wonder if you could get them modified by doing a bit of shaving .

Needed a 9mm stack of washers to clear the inner edge of the caliper.
