does anyone have pictures of 18" superleggeras on an SVT? I looked around but could only find pics of the 17s. what kind of offset and width should the 18s be, 18X7 or 18X8? Thanks, I appreciate any help...

Yes, I have them and I will be posting pics soon!
It is my understanding that the Mondeo's in
Europe race on these wheels....so they are a perfect fit for the SVT....a bit expensive though...(and a bear to clean but they look
great)....they are actually a grey colour but they
do look very nice on the car.

I think they are 18 x 7's...so the ideal set up
is stock width: 215/40/18...but you probably
could go to 225's....I doubt very much you
would ever realize the benefits of going wider
though...my car runs like it is on rails.

I've had mine on for a couple of weeks now (18x7 w/ 225/40R18)....haven't got any pics up yet (I guess Xtreme could be talking about me :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ) but I'm shooting for this week (read: lazy with no place to host 'em) Some info -- the Superleggera is now considered a discontinued wheel because OZ is changing the offset to one that will not fit the 'tour....so act now! Plus...do you really need pics, they are one of the best wheels available for the 'tour in my opinion and oh yeah...my 18" w/225 combo is 2lbs. lighter than the original EO wheel/tire combo

Justin, are you lowered? Any problems with 225's
for width on the car? I went with the 215's just
to make sure but it looks like there is plenty
of room.

I should say, though, that I haven't driven the car with a full load in the back yet...so I can't say for certain. I have hit a few big bumbs going...ummm...pretty fast ...and was impressed that they didn't rub. Overall, I'm happy with the fit.
