The loan of two 18 inch wheels for a GTR

Need to borrow two 18 inch 5 stud alloys - they need to be able to fit over brembo's and have a deep enough off-set to avoid clipping the brakes.
These would only be used statically whilst a set of wheels are refurbed - which of you lovely people can help ?.

I have a spare skinny!
If that will help as they fit outside the brembos.

Jay - it doesn't - the spares aren't deep enough - the alloys I borrowed off Gary aren't deep enough .. it's a hard life have big brakes

Hello ben. Dont know if im being stupid but if the car is going to be stattic would it not be easier to put it on axle stands ?? I also have a skinny you can borrow if needs be.
Cheers. Matt

I'll let Ben handle this one as I don't know if I'm allowed to leave the car on stands or not.

Jay - that's not a bad idea actually - reversing the spares ... right i've got 1 spare - bryan you've got one - so if we can get one off jay and one of matt then we're sorted - but you won't be able to drive it ...
Matt - my drive is too soft for axle stands and I don't actually have any ..

I have a spare too Ben so you can have a spare spare lol.
I also have some spacers that may help if you still have some clearance issues.
