my 225's are shot... bald as a eagle

I liked my 225/45 bfg's before I got the dunlops... they were a bit more nimble then the 225/50, but not as sticky....

So thats why Im excited... excited for the new series!

I want your weds.... but you know this

I see. I guess they will fit the ES2/EM2 better. Tires will always be compared and the market is competitive right now which is a good thing but the ZII fits my needs perfectly. Even if other models were available in any size I wanted or same price I would still pick the ZIIs.

Weds are nice and rare in this offset but I know of a couple of sets in 16" for sale if you really wanted TCs.

Yep, fitment theorists need not worry They actually look pretty good in person and not as big as I thought they might of been.

Got em haha.

Update:

225/45/16 ZIIs came in




They are pretty wide, super beefy and the sidewall is perfect. Very happy about this.

I had ordered some "Enkei" valve stems but they were not Enkei lol.



Luckily though, SHG_Mike had some new ones laying around and I picked up a set from him



WedsSports should be getting mounted early next week

That's the plan man. If I can get everything I need sorted and afford the fee in time I'm in. Will be cutting it pretty close though.

Update:

My friend who works at an Audi dealership mounted them for me. No issues since they mount big tires all the time. Did a great job!




Test fitted the Weds. No adjustments to height. Certainly worth the wait!

They fit much better than I thought they would honestly. You have got to be like a kid at Christmas staring at that thing.

Fitment is perfect. With a bit more camber up front and a little roll all around you will be golden

It took a moment to sink in but then it felt great knowing that it was finally here. While no pioneer, it still isn't your usual sizing by any means and that gives me more satisfaction out of it. Just pushing the envelope on what I can fit on there under OEM fenders.

Yes sir, I'll be ordering the Hardrace UCA bushing kit after I get the bodywork done then we can roll them and cornerweight

You know you like it. Would only be proper to have Type R wheels on my Type R
