Thanks
Front: 18x9 43mm offset

Rear: 18x11.5 48mm offset

Front is really close to the upper spring cup on the stock suspension, just FYI. Looks great in the body.

Just the info I was looking for! + Rep Point for you!

Thanks! You run 265/35-18s with that right? Damon at tire rack sells a 9" x 43mm offset in the OZ alleggerita. As long as it clears the stock perch i assume I'm golden. The PSS9s are a smaller diameter and will likely have better clearance even.

BTW I run my 19" champion 11.5" wheels (44 offset) with 15mm spacers in the rear and a 315 tire. That ends up a 29 offset. Tucks perfectly in the fender but you have to roll the rear fenders.

I assume you're not selling your wheels

Yes on the front size. PS2. I run 315/30 18 on the rear and no rolled fenders/no rubbing.

Virtually zero discussion on this size up front, eh? Only a few track guys as I seem to recall.

Sell? Not on your life. HRE C20s, waited 12 weeks and paid a small fortune. Very happy with them.

Well if you want 36mm more rear track you're a roll and some spacers away. Come to think of it, 48 -18mm = 30. You could run 18mm rear spacers..

Thanks again!
