Default 2013 performance package- 18" wheels fit?

My wife has a 2013 V-6 with the performance package to include the brembo brakes. My wife needs some good all season tires, as she will be driving it over the winter. It would be MUCH cheaper to buy some 18" wheels and tires, but I dont know if they will fit over the calipers. Does anyone have some advice?

You have to make sure the wheels are the same spec as the brembo's take up a lot more room. I do not know the size of the top of my head however if you check out americanmuscle.com you can pull the wheel specs off there. It should be labeled with what ones fit Brembo's.

The performance package doesn't include Brembo calipers, just a more aggressive brake pad on GT rotors, atleast that is how it was explained to me. I have a 2013 V6 Performance Package and it definitely does not have Brembo calipers....unless something has changed??

So 18" wheels should go right on.

You shouldn't have any problems running 18's on your 2013 V6. We have test fit every different fitment and combination of wheels that we carry on our site, so you can definitely check that out! If you go to the "fitment" tab on the product page of the wheel you're actually looking at you will be able to see there if it clears Brembos. You can also let me know what Wheel's you're after and I can help you out!

I hope this helps!

Dan,
I am looking to put on some winter tires for her, and just some plain jane steel wheels in 18" (the tires are way less $) to get her through the winter.
