I like the look of the 18" Style '1036' wheels. Will 18" wheels clear the front brakes on a V6S?

 

No.

 

What Oz said. Besides, even if the rims look good in isolation they won't look good on the car. IMHO 18" rims are visually too small for the F-Type.

 

...Not if you install white-wall tires (tyres)! The white walls give the illusion of bigger wheels...but you HAVE to keep the white bits CLEAN.



Just kidding of course.

 

I have them on mine and they fit fine, you just need taller tires. Only difference in tires, besides width for the F-type are wall height differences between the different rim sizes. As far as brakes, I am not sure.
BTW: These are the base rims for early F-types.

 

Just remember you can measure the clearance on your current rims and get a good idea.
I can tell you what the center of my rim to inner rim (underside) is, if that will help.

 

The larger front brakes on the S have very little clearance on 19s. I couldn't fit the smallest "Wheel Woolie" brush between the caliper and the barrel with my 19s, so I'm sure the 18s wouldn't work at all.

 

So go with raised white letters. And Cragar Mags. Not a restomod but a retromod?
