Hey all,
Just mounted my tires and wheels last night...
Since this is not meant to be a competition car, but a driver with solid limits, I went with a streetable combo:
17x8 OZ Ultraleggeras
OE sized Michelin Pilot Super Sport
I weighed my new setup at 2.9-3.0 pounds lighter per corner versus OE, and yes, that includes TPMS senders.
The wheels grow a half-inch inward and outward versus stock, so they did pop out of the wheel wells about 12mms
I have been actively modifying and buying various wheels and tires (mostly for motor sports applications) for just under 10 years, and i must say i was surprised... The lighter weight was more noticeable than I expected. Of course the tires are markedly better, but that's not at all surprising.
Heres a rough pic right after install. As many of us know, yes, it needs a drop! The ride height and exhaust are next!
Thanks,
Paul
