MadcityEP I thought the OZ wheel where within SCCA limits for offsets +/-.25in. is the offset limit I think.
it doesn't give the offset on the tire rack site but when i called i talked to Dean and from what i remember it will need 6mm off the front and way to much off the rear. I ordered them about a month and a half ago. Its taking some time to get them in from Italy so i cant really remember, i dont even think the O.Z. site says what offset they are. If they are within that it would be awesome!

Doesn't the updating/backdating clause allow you to run AP2 wheels on an AP1 car ?

Not in stock class - no such thing as up/backdating.

I was thinking you got the OZ Alleggerita HLT that has 49mm offset on the 17x7 and 59mm offset on the 17x8.5

They do. Tire rack lists the offset on the Anthracite set, but not on any of the other colors.

I thought stock AP1 wheels were lighter than what the OP posted.

I would think the offsets would be the same for all colors but I am not sure.

Then it wouldn't be legal. The AP2 stock offsets are 55mm front and 65mm rear, I am pretty sure. You would need to take almost 5mm off the center of the wheel to be legal. I don't think I would be willing to remove that much.

Guys, the title pretty clearly states AP1 wheels for A-Stock.

I debated getting some custom 3-piece wheels made, then I realized how much that was going to cost... That ended that pipe-dream pretty quickly. Supposedly some manufacturers would have a hard time clearing the calipers and getting the right offset too, though I never confirmed that.
