We put the OZ Alleggerita 18x10s on our car and love them. The car is lowered with Eibach springs and has 7mm spacers all around.

curious, why didn't you go with 18 by 11 63mm offset and a 40mm offset for the front? It would have eliminated the need for spacers and would have been plenty aggressive.Originally Posted by LaneS@MAcarbon

We already had spacers on the stock wheels and we knew that they worked so we just went the safe route. If we were to do it all over again I would probably go with 11's on the rear though.Originally Posted by geetee

What suspension are you running?Originally Posted by scantu
Im running 11s with 315/25/19s and I have H&R springs. Absolutely NO cutting needed with the correct offset. I barely needed to roll the lip.Sergio

What are you running on the front? ( tire size wise )
What does roll your fender mean? Thanks.

Here is a picture of my 2002 Carrera with the ROW030 lowered suspension and GT3 Wheels powder coated black. Plenty of room for lowering still and no need for rolling front or rear fenders. Note to what is rolling fenders? There is a tool you can bolt to the wheel and roll the inside lip of your fender so it does not cut your tire. You will notice the GT3 comes with the front fender already rolled.
GT3 Wheels are Fronts 8.5X18 ET40 Rears 11X18 ET63 and tire sizes I run are 245/40/18 and 295/30/18
Also, my Stock H track car is very low. I did roll the fronts but not the rear fenders. Needless to say the negative camber is much more severe on that car. CCW wheels using the exact same size and offset of the GT3 wheels
