    You'll probably have to roll & pull the fenders. Good luck.

    No, those will fit, all except for the most extreme spoke designs. I have a set of OZ's w/those specs on right now. No rolling of the fender or spacers needed.

    Assuming you are on stock rotors/calipers, no issues with the rotors. The calipers will depend on the spoke design of the wheel--what wheel is it? Also, unless you get fat/wide tires, you shouldn't have a rubbing issue or a need to pull the fenders, etc.

    No you won't. I run that size in the winter with 5mm spacers.
    My WTB List:
    -Sport (all black) shift surround for 6MT
    -Sport (all black) ash tray cover

    Caliper clearance depends on the specific wheel and the design of the spokes. Having an ET 35 offset is no guarantee that the brake caliper will not contact the back of the spokes. If possible, do a test fit before you buy and keep in mind that the caliper will extend further outwards when new pads/rotors are fitted.

    EDIT *did not see the previous post when replying*

    The Hartmann DTM wheels in 18x8.0" ET35 will clear the HP2 calipers no problem

    Longer ones by approx 10mm since the center of the wheel is now further out 10mm. Also, I don't know if reps use the same seated lug bolts--OEM are ball seated and many aftermarket are conical.
