  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Well that is the hard way to find this out. Apparently 2009 18" wheels from a 4.6 do not clear the front calipers. I did read extensively before I purchase these for snows. I am going to try a spacer, 5mm? I am not crazy about the idea but what else am I going to do.

The rears cleared fine, but should I put spacers all the way around to kepp it all consistent?

Hopefully this will help out others who are looking at stock winter wheels. When I get the spacers I will update.

As always any and all advice is appreciated.

Is it possible that you used a 18" wheel from the 2009 V6 on the 2011 V8? The V8 front brakes are larger, due to extra 200 lbs on the front end.
 
It is possible, but the seller on this site clearly stated 2009 4.6 sedan 18" wheels.
