One of those is the spokes on the wheels must be oriented exactly the same, front and rear. Was that your goal or did you just get lucky in your photo?

If they're open enough you should be able to run the same brakes as gen 3 viper, 14" rotors w 4-piston Brembos. The gen 3 vipers run 18x10 wheels up front. I need to file this thread away for when I pick my wheels, so I can reference your sizes/specs. Photobucket sucks
