Member on here, Rzundel runs a 21x13" rear with no rubbing, (355/25/21). And I'm pretty sure he's lowered too. So you should be just fine 👍
I have 295 with spacers and {no offense} these don't look like they project out much farther than mine....comments? Safety / performance of 295 + 25mm spacers vs. 355 {I am guessing} no spacers ???
That wheel is nasty
Hey Gypsy, did you ever go with that 21x12 rear tire setup???
Hello, yes I did, worked out just fine. So far around 4K miles on them, no issues at all and I’m lowered too . 315 width tire stretched on there
Yeah that looks SUPERB!
They should, they're like $2,100 a pop!!!
hehe. But can’t go wrong with gloss black either
Thanks!View attachment 135502

Those are very nice choices!! I think you’re going to look back and wish you went with 21’s though... I keep my tires as low as I dare 32-34 psi and it’s not much harsher than before plus the big frame just consumes a big wheel especially at the back. The Pur set looks similar to OEM MC wheels if you’re maintaining the factory vibe (can’t go wrong there) and the Brixtons are edgier, more aggressive and have the thin spokes to show off the brembos. Telltale sign of a strong forged wheel= concavity and thin spokes.
My vote would be the Brixtons in a brushed clear, gunmetal/lighter finish if you have a dark colored car, OR a bronze/darker finish if you have a lighter colored car... and with forged wheel prices as high as they are, you may want to consider choosing a unique finish if included in the price of a set
I'm rolling on a 295 series in the rear now. I just want a meatier look to the rear, strictly for looks in my case as well. I daily drive mine and road trip it every chance I get. I have considered the 2 different halves of the car when It comes to feel, more flex in front, steam roller in the rear. I'm still evaluating everything at the moment, haven't pulled the trigger just yet. But I will take your valuable advice into consideration, thanks!Also I wanted to include in this thread: If I were to do this again, I would actually not go quite as wide as I did on the rears- however, this could be the result of my driving style/preference so you can ignore accordingly (My use for this car is long summer trips 2+ days on the road of constant use with a few boulevard cruises in-between the snow months) so again take with a grain of salt.
Its simply unnecessary to go so wide (outside of looks) and the tire availability and options decrease drastically while the prices go up greatly. (Try a flat in middle of nowhere South Dakota then trying to locate a 315/30/21!)
My theory is that an 11 or 11.5” rear with a 295/305 tire and a 255 front would actually be ideal for most. I would also paint the inner barrel of the wheels black to avoid seeing gunk accumulate on the inside barrel- it becomes an eye sore after a few days. Furthermore, The back of the car now feels much more ‘rigid’ with the factory camber settings still there, paired with the steamroller wheels It’s almost as if it has grown stabilizer arms in the rear like you would see on a crane/wrecker while the front still flexes and twists. Real minor complaint here and this was expected but that’s what i noticed immediately after install, and this is what you will feel when you push back into the seat and take a corner hard. I don’t want to say it has changed the balance of the car but rather has lost some of its previous dynamics. Anyways, that’s what I’ve learned from it... in the end not a drastic difference and I’m definitely not wanting to go back to the factory wheels anytime soon!
No problem, a 345 will look absolutely mental back there! Will look super tough... as far as TPMS I believe the techs just swapped them, whatever they did was handled the day of install. But everything is business as usual with it- no issues or anything to report, thankfully
Yeah it would...that's about 2 inches wider than the 295 series tire! (1 additional inch on both sides of the tire).
This is mine. I’ve been running this set up with No issues. Yes my car was also lowered with Formula Dynamic custom spec springs. The only thing you have to be prepared for is getting less than 10k miles on the tires. Same goes for the Lamborghini that uses this same size tire.
