mac 1 are sierra donors as far as i knew. So anything for a sierra will fit it.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

OP - Did you get the answer you needed?

I am in the same boat trying to source a second set of rims...

it seems the only way is to buy a set of new wheels from mac#1,iv tryed some other 13" wheels and none of them clear the calipers.

Jeeszz! £620 a set...!

Isn't there a cheaper option of going to a larger diameter and getting around the caliper clearance?

I believe you could use 14" wheels with a lower aspect ratio tyre.

see here

so currently you are probably running 185/60 13 on the front.

You may be able to change this to 185/55 14 leaving your overall diameter and height roughly the same.

Go and talk to your local tyre dealer they are usually helpful especially if you pick an indie who is interested in racing etc and most are..

hth.
