4lbs per wheel lighter? Or for all 4?
Also compared to which OEM wheel - Lightweight or Super Lightweight?
Nice pics.

I do wonder, for a car as aero-optimized as the 12C, if it is critical to mind any changes to the angle of attack. i.e. not only the car's upper surfaces (including Air Brake), but the flat undertray and rear diffuser are meeting the oncoming airflow at specific angles to work properly. Increasing the front wheel diameter would, in theory, alter the stance, unless the car was lowered in front only to retain the default rake, front to rear, no? Certainly, the center of pressure movement fore/aft has also been finely tuned under braking, etc., and things might get unstable if more air is getting under the front than what was anticipated?why not go 20" up front too?![]()
I think with 20 up front and a little lowering via coils, overall stance would not change much to make a difference in air flow. Correct me if I am wrong here wheelbI do wonder, for a car as aero-optimized as the 12C, if it is critical to mind any changes to the angle of attack. i.e. not only the car's upper surfaces (including Air Brake), but the flat undertray and rear diffuser are meeting the oncoming airflow at specific angles to work properly.

That would look great with 19x9 as I know there is still more room on the fender wells.actually a 20" front with a 235/30/20 would really be no different that a 19" with 235/35/19 its exact math and same all the way around only difference is your tire is lower profile but same height and width and all car would never know the difference . Only reason i went with 19" there are no matching front and rear combos for good performance available . if you go Pirelli they only make p-zero Nero its all season and Michelin doesn't make the size . All other brands i would put on my mp4 .. i am building my new set 19x9 20x12.5 and i will run Toyo R888 on the set
20mm and 15mm seems a lot. Would be interesting to see how much they stick out...We've a client installing spacers behind the factory Superlightweights; 20mm rear, 15mm front. If he's cool with it, I'll post pics.
Curious as to how you lowered your car, wheelb, and if you had any difficulties or challenges?

I checked out my original wheel and the offset was like 47 for the stock... if he had 20 and a 15, he would have a 27 offset... and 32 in the back... thats really out there offset... not sure if tires would rub on that...Those specs are perfect i order my new wheels exactly with that much more back pad on them ! with that front new offset i was able to concave the front wheels also ! cant wait for new wheels
lowering is easy it has perches simply compress springs and change the perch settings .
