Michelin PSS 295/25/21 all around installed - perfect pairing!

[S5_newbie]

So I finally had the chance to swap the stock 275/30/21 Continental 5P tires out for these Michelins. Wow what a difference does it make. For those wondering whether 285/30 or 295/25 works better, the 295/25 no question.

Will be dropping the car off this weekend for the Alu Kreuz and lower the car a little bit more to fill the wheel gaps.

Looks spot on! The 7's can really swallow some tires! More pics!

[Ze_Nardo6]

More. Pics.

[cobrario]

Very nice, what offset are your wheels ?

[flyfishing]

what wheels are those and specs? I like :)

[S5_newbie]

Rotiform SPF 21x10.5 et 35 all around with a custom silver graphite finish.

Will have more pics once I finish stancing the beast.

Reminds me of the TAG RS7.

[Arslàán]

I'm thinking to go from 19 to 21 on my A6. Looking at the picture 21 seems awesome. I was thinking maybe 21 is too big.

Personal opinion is the 7s are the only models that can pull off 21s without looking silly. 20s belong on the 6s

Couple more pics showing how it's flushed to the fender.

Currently dropped with H&R ETS module.

I'm still not 100% with the drop so going to adjust a little more with the Airmatic UK lowering linkages.

Man, looks awesome! Im kind of bummed cause I had an opportunity to get the same exact tire at a good price but thought I would rub, so stuck with the 275-30-21

[CanuckRS]

did you try out the 285/30 tires as well?

i'm in the process of ordering a wheel set right now and went with 285/30 but i still have time to change as the rims are being shipped to the distributor.

rims are 21 x 10.5 et32. decisions decisions..

do you have any photos of those tires on your rims at an angle to see how the near to the rim the rubber sits?

i'm ordering same rims as you (as long as you have 21 x 10.5) but i'm getting a bit more rubber width, either 285 or 295. curious to see how much more room there is to play with.

Cheers!

[janthony6]

I'm at 295/25/21 as well. No rubbing but next I may try 295/30

Please excuse the filthy car and wheels as the rain just stopped.



Are these pics what you were looking for?

[CanuckRS]

yup, great thanks! looks like there is loads of room for more rubber. i'm gonna go 295/25. fingers crossed! :)

a bit concerned about the 25 aspect ratio which makes the sidewall about 9mm shorter than stock, but hopefully won't be an issue.

Yes but if you do go with Michelin Pilot sports, I think you will be surprised as they always tend to be beefier then other tires. I wanna see your setup when you get it done.
BTW what part of Canada are you from? Im guessing Vancouver based on your screen name. I just got back from an amazing trip to Banff, Revelstoke, and Golden.

Agree on the Michelin PSS, but i like that their sidewalls are a more vertical than others. Seems like the OP has no issues with very similar setup though. Will see :)
Interior of BC in the Okanagan, few hours east of Vancouver. I'll def post pics when they arrive/installed. Glad you liked the trip, beautiful places to drive around here.
Cheers

I think I've looked through 100s of pictures and 295/25 still looked like the perfect stance in my opinion. 285/30 is actually one profile too thick visually speaking.

Trust me go 295/25/21.

Don't remember my offset. Got my wheels from TAG - vossen CG205

[Arslàán]

What's the load index in the tyres? I don't find these with 100 index. The highest I see is 97. How does they cope?

Further stancing the RS with lowering links to rid the wheel gap but still ensure no rubbing.

Looks great. Nicely done.

[flyfishing]

these maybe my next wheels and tires :)

what store did you buy wheels from?

[Serpent]

i'm gonna be running a 295/30/20. Will post pics when I have it installed.

Also, PSS is no longer...they have a new PS4S tire which is what I ended up going with.

I have a wholesale account with my local Rotiform supplier here in Canada. So everything was ordered locally.

Front was dropped another 0.75" and that's as low as I can go for daily driving without rubbing. Happy with that.

Hey are your wheels a custom set of rotiforms or the one piece you can buy off of the shelve

[cobrario]

The wheels don't appear to have much concavity- is that accurate or maybe it's just an optical illusion.

[S5_newbie]

These are the off the shelve Rotiform SPF wheels not custom forged ones. Odd thing is the 21" & 22" options are no longer listed on their site anymore.

If you are interested, I would talk to your local Rotiform dealer.

Just rocking these until I proceed on doing the Prior widebody kit. Then Brixton Forged wheels will be on there.

FYI here are the PSS 295/25/21 on your bathurst rims. Perfect fit imo.
Haven't installed them on the RS7 yet as we just had a dump of snow last night! argh.
Should be warmer this weekend and i'll probably go for it and do a separate thread on my particular setup.

Wow, that looks perfect!!!!! Send me pics when you mount them. Im kind of kicking myself I didn't go that route

[CanuckRS]

Just building on what others have done here. IF not for my fellow canuck i wouldn't have gone 295 either!
That's what's great about these forums.

Looks great, perfect drop!!
