Has anyone tried either of these with Wilwoods and can confirm whether they do or do not clear the calipers front and rear?

I have 18x10 wheels front and back on my 35 Truck along with the Wilwood brakes. I have had no issues with clearance at all. I think I could easily another inch of Rotor diameter and still have room for the calipers.

I think what you will want to look at is the offset. My wheels were for a standard 2009 mustang offset, while there was no clearance issue with the caliper to the spokes of the wheel, The wheels set in a little deep, to the point where the turn radius was limited because the wheel would hit the lower control arm. I added a spacer to find the correct offset 2 inches worth, then got wheels with that offset that looked and functioned much better.

Good looking wheels.

I've seen those on a 2000-Ish Mustang GT and they looked really good so I'm sure they'll be a great fit on a MK-4.
Also, here is a link to some wheels I was considering putting on the REDBONE ROADSTER from Circuit Performance.
The backspacing on these wheels is spot on perfect; however, you'd need HUBCENTRIC rings to properly center them.

No Halibrands on the new Kleinermobile?

Don't dislike them but kind of tired of/bored with them. ;)

Thanks for the replies guys! Don't know for sure if these will be what I use (heck, I haven't even finalized what engine I'm going to use yet!) but confirmed that they should work so they'll stay on the short list. Thanks to "racingandfishing" Robert who hooked me up with some pics of "460.465USMC" Chris's new Coupe wearing the SVE wheels and Wilwoods.

Any idea if these are available in 19's? I did a quick search but couldn't come up with anything.
