So, I've been thinking of getting the OZ ultraleggera HLT for the beast - Tirerack recommends 19x8.5 all around or 9" in the rear for staggered fit. However, looking at the specification of the wheel, 19 x 9, ET +30mm it escapes me why the 19 x 9 won't work at all four corners. Especially given that the stock wheel is 19 x 9 ET 29.

If the 8.5" wheel clears the calipers then why won't the 9" wheel? Are there other clearances that are so different front to rear/OZ vs OEM?

I would prefer response form somebody who has actually put these on their car or whose line of work is with wheel/tire fitments.

Thank you in advance,

Did someone at the Tire Rack say the 9" ET30 had a problem with front fit? If not, I don't see why it would not fit. I'd definitely go for the 9" all around. BTW, this is the only aftermarket wheel that I would consider if I was in the market. Hot and lightweight...

Yep! On their configurator it lists 19 x 8.5 wheels for pretty much all the wheel manufacturers. However, there is an optional 9" rear fitment for the OZ ultraleggera.

When I called to ask about that and if I could order a set of the 4, 9" wheels, to see if they would fit, i was asked if i didn't think they did that already. Also, they informed me that since it wasn't a recommended fit that I could not return them if I didn't like or if they didn't work out.

I love the look too, plus they mirror what's on the Audi LMP R8, R10, R12 &R15. Not to mention I have them on my TT and they look and handle great!

you could run the 19x10 et35s?

I would think that with the even wider wheel this would definitely have clearance issues, no?!

Not necessarily. In many cases, it is possible to run wider wheels provided the offset allows for clearances. However, I do not know how a 10" ET35 fits on our cars. This is a question custom wheel manufacturers may be able to answer from their experiences.
