The 18x9 OZ will be lighter, wider and stronger than the factory wheel (better casting technique and material). I can tell you from personal experience, these wheels will fit with no problems. As you can see in my sig the SSR's I have are the exact same specs as the 18x9 OZ's. BTW- I am the reason Tire Rack had the 18x9 OZ's made.

Thanks for all the good info. Seems like I will be springing for the OZ Ultraleggera 18X9s all around.

I'm curious. Why do you not run the Ultraleggeras on the street?

I use my GXP primarily for the street, except for a track day a couple times a year. There are some twisties near where I live that I enjoy when I can. I don't expect to be doing any auto-Xing. Based on that, what tires do you think I might consider. There is no need for winter tires here. It never snows, and I do not drive my Solstice in the rain, except for the unexpected shower on the occasional road trip.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.
