Anyone running 18-inch OZ Ultraleggeras with the new JCW brake kit?

I tried searching but did not find an answer to my question. I want to know if the 18-inch OZ Ultraleggeras will clear the new JCW brake kit without any issues. I remember reading that someone was running the 17-inch OZ Ultraleggera wheels with the JCW brake kit without any issues. The 17-inch wheel has 37 mm offset while the 18-inch wheel has 42 mm offset. I did some searching on wheel offsets and for reasons that I don't quite understand, it appears the wheel with the 42 mm offset would have less clearance than the one with the 37 mm offset? I thought it would be the other way around. Anyway, is anyone running the setup I am interested in running?

Thanks, that's good to know! I already have a set of 18" black OZ wheels on my 07 MCS and was thinking about upgrading to the new JCW brake kit for track driving.

I had a set on mine for a while and they clear just fine. I think I still have a few pics of them in my gallery.
