Just snapped this if you want a better idea of a 215/45 on an 8" wheel.
Would you recommend 205/50/17 ?

Sorry the wheel size I want is 17x7.5 and for tire I don't want to stretch and possibly keep the same rolling diameter. Thanks!

Wheels: Enkei PF01's 18x8 ET45
Tires: Continental ExtremeContact DW on 215/40-18
Springs: NM

the dimensions are fine but depending on the type of tire you're looking for I can't see any reason to go with those over a 215/45 or 225/45

I'm planning ahead for a second set of wheels & tires. Also need to confirm the JCW center caps will be a direct fitment on these wheels.

Thanks for any pictures!

Dammmn. What's the offset on those? edit: never mind, found it, 35.


Please lower it, it looks so good but it would look absolutely amazing on coilovers


That company sure isn't afraid of ripping off wheel designs, they've stolen from just about every hot wheel company today. Fifteen52, Rotiform, BBS, Enkei, CCW, 3DSM, etc. ****, even their name is ripped off from ADV.1

I'm going to build a small run of these for our cars. The list price for a set of 4 is $1820 + shipping but I can probably save you a bit. If you are interested in a set of these add me on facebook (qman2397@aol.com) or instagram (randomquickness).

If those are available in matte black 17x7.5 and clear the JCW brakes, put me down for a set.

P.S. Anyone want to buy an A3? (kidding)
Depending on your wheel offset & suspension setup those tires will likely fit on the F56.

17x7.5 ET48 Sparco Trofeo 5
Michelin PSS 225/45/17
5mm spacers all around
Stock active suspension

I feel like the front end became more floaty after the wheels were installed. I can't believe that the extra ~1/2in in ride height could so drastically change the way the frond end behaves. Any ideas?

for my initial run of 10 sets they will be matte black. They will be 17x8 and will have no problem clearing jcw brakes.

I don't know about "floaty" but I will say when my MPSS were brand new they were a bit slippery. After I put a few miles on them they felt as they should.
