OZ Alleggerita HLT



I've been trying to find a set of blue wheels, and most don't make them with a +45 offset (tons in +40 offset). But I found these from OZ. Here are the specs:

Size: 17x7
HOle Pattern: 4x100
Offset: +44
Weight: 6.29kg

They do have a 16x7, but it only comes in a +37 offset

Now the other problem I have is buying them! Tirerack has them, but they don't even list it for the Fit. And I have no idea where else to buy them.

I've talked to TireRack and they said it just wont fit? Why would that be? I've seen them have 17x7.5 with a +38 offset. So why wouldn't they fit?

16x7 +37 will fit with no rubbing. don't listen to them. honestly the person you spoke to was looking at a computer with preset configurations already and prolly dont know jack shit about what those numbers are. they are doing this so you can't go after them if something were to happen.

^ On a GD that wouldn't be too much of a problem, but a GE is a different story.

Give this threads a read. Going by your previous posts and avatar you own a GE8 and according to the thread below. You would have to have the fenders rolled to run the 16x7 +37s and you can run the 17x7 +44 without rubbing as long as you don't lower, if you do lower, you may have to roll the fenders, add camber, trim the rear bumper, tuck the fender liners, or a combination of these to make it work.

Weird thing is AJ-Racing's Fit is lowered and they run 17x7.5+42 and they don't rub. I have 17x7.5 + 40 and I don't rub but I'm not lowered yet.

I'm just saying though.

See that's the thing, I see that some run at +40 & lowered, no issues. Others say they've done it too and have had rubbing issues, weird.

On the GD it was 55.1mm measured with a vernier caliper.

I'm pretty sure the GE hub size is the same.

Like people have said, it really depends how low you are. I rub fairly easy on hard turns and over bumps, but I'm pretty low on eibach sportlines.
