Default Will base 18s fit 2016 V6S?

Howdy! First post

Bought a 2016 V6S coupe with the 20" wheels

I'm in the Midwest so I want to put winter tires on

If I buy 18" OEM take-off wheels on eBay, will they dint my '16 V6S?

If not, what are my options?

Thank you

They should fit unless you have the super performance brakes or the carbon brakes.

The Base, that comes with 18" wheels, has the "Performance" brakes, which are 354mm front, and 325mm rear. The S comes with "High Performance" brakes, which are 380mm front and 325mm rear. So the rears should fit, but the fronts might be a problem. Can you get the seller to measure the ID, to see if they will clear you calipers? Good luck.

18" wheels will not clear the front brakes on an S, which as IRRBrogue says are 380 mm.

Very helpful!

I'm thinking an aftermarket set of 19s is my best option then

You certainly won't have a problem with OEM 19s. Snow tire options are limited to Blizzak LM-32 in that size. But that's hardly a limitation.

idk if brake clearance will be an issue but what no one seemed to bring up is that the 18s" come straggered so rear wider than front. Usually in awd cars with a transfer case you have to be careful which tire specs you get but the wheels themsleves should fit i believe

All of the F-Type wheels are staggered, regardless of diameter
