Question OZ Ultraleggera offsets?

I have been struggling to get more info about the offsets of Ultraleggeras. The silver wheels seem to be available both in ET37 and ET44. What about Matt Black or Matt Graphite Silver? Do they also exist in ET44?

I have a MCSW with std suspension. I am planning to buy Goodyear F1s in 215/40/17 size and I am a bit concerned if ET37 offset would a bit too tight fit (rubbing?). Might consider lowering the car a bit later too...

Has anybody fitted this combo or knows more about the available sizes?

Thanks!

I have the 18" version and I think the offset is ET42 (maybe it is 44) and they clear my AP BBK with a 5mm spacer.

Is that any help?

Sure, it does, thanks!

I am also tempted to go for 18" for the looks, but the roads around here are quite notorious. Might be asking for trouble...

I have 17" Ultra's in silver on my MCS and could have gone with the graphite with no off set issues. Sweet wheels. I'll post pics when I return to Canada.

Do you remember if those silver Ultra's are ET37 or ET44? The graphite ones are ET37 based on the local wheel distributor...

If you manage to post some pics, that would be great!

44's are supposed to fit correctly, according to the OZ website, the 37 offset "may need modifications to car"

How wide is the hall-way, Napster?

Does anybody have experience with 18's Ultraleggra's and Lowered Eibachs. I know the ride will be a little harsh but wondered if rubining would be an issue?
