Default Velox Flight 18x8.5 40mm offset Fitment on Stock Brakes & SC suspension

Guys,
I did a search and could not find anything on fitment of these wheels on stock SC suspension. Does anyone know if this wheel in a 18x8.5 with 40mm offset will clear stock brake calipers and suspension on 1998 SC400? I checked Fitment Industries and Velox Flight is not on their site. I know, I should just spring for BBS LM's or Work Meisters, but I still want to check on these Velox Flights.
Th

Thanks,
Matt

They’ll fit without any trouble. They’ll be pretty sunken in if you ever plan on lowering the car. At stock height it should look fine.

The BBS LM’s and Work Meisters look great but cost a ton buying new. Especially the BBS’.

Kira,
Yes, I agree. I ended up going with TSW Valencias. I am sure Velox are fine wheels, but I think TSW has a better reputation and likely has higher quality.

Going with TSW was a good choice. They’re solid wheels from what I’ve heard over the years.
