Default question about superleggera fitment....

we were thinking of getting oz superleggera's, 18x8's in the front and 18x9's in the rear

a guy we asked said that the 18''x8's in the front dont fit well, and might require "some modification".

has this been anyone's experience?

Don't know what the offsets are but for them to fit correctly, a x8" wheels need to be +54mm or even higher.
Seems to me these wheels stick-out too much in the front. If the offset is less than +54 they'll rub for sure, unless you drive like a pu$$y.

I got 18x8 F 18x9 R and lowered with KG/mm Race springs and NO scratching/fender rubbing etc.

These rims are truly great and the offset fits the car perfectly.

RT -- you'll see them on the 8th!

They look great and don't appear to stick out at all. And the roads in Germany look so inviting!
