Default Wheels to fit big brake kits

I am planning on installing 14" brakes on my 06 GT. Are there 18" aftermarket wheels available that are either 9.5" and 10" wide that will clear the calipers ? I have searched for wheels for the GT 500 but found all aftermarket wheels that fit are 19" or 20" in diameter.

I am using some knock off GT500 wheels. 18x9.5 in front and 18x10 in the rear. They clear my 14" brake kit.

I know my 18x10 DD bullitts would never clear a big brake kit. They barely clear the stockers.

If you are interested check out my classified ad, I have some 18.8.5 and 18.9.5 that should clear. They are really light and I am open to offers. PM me if interested

Thanks

BC

Steeda has a ton of wheels that fit 14" brakes in 18 x 9.5"

Maximum Motorsports has a nice set also.

I want those wheels so bad it makes my head hurt!

But they are only 9" wide, WTF! I want 9.5" in the front and 11" ones in the rear. Whats the point of getting rims if you don't get the biggest ones that will fit in there?

And yes, I know I currently have 10" wide rear wheels. But when the rubber is smoked, the wheels get widened.

I agree those wheels only look good wide and d/d otherwise they look flat like a set of hubcaps.But i guess it all a matter of opinion,thats just how i like em.

I know and that sucks. I don't want to change the look of mine but I want some 14" brakes baaad. I'm still holding out a little hope that one of the major brake manufacturers will come up a 14" kit that will fit with the bullits. It's a very popular wheel...I don't know why they wouldn't.
