Post Pix of your S550 with aftermarket wheels and tires

[beetle6986]

Hi y'all,
First post in the forum: living in Michigan, it was time to install my winter tire/wheel package. I decided to go with a setup recommended by Tire Rack, and I'm pleased with the fit. Here are the pics and specs:

• FlowOne Race Spec F3, Gloss Gun Metal Silver Painted
• Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie II, 255/40R19, 275/40R19(same as factory PP1)
• Front: 19x9, 40mm offset
• Rear: 19x10.5, 45mm offset

I also chose to weigh each wheel/tire combo using a cheap bathroom scale:

Wheel/tire together	Weight, lbs​	Weight, kg​
Factory Nickle Luster, front	61​	27.7​
FlowOne, front	50​	22.7​
Factory Nickle Luster, rear	64​	29.1​
FlowOne, rear	54​	24.5​

I have the same sizes with other wheels. I feel like they need a spacer in the front.

@beetle6986 there is a difference of 5mm in offset between the front factory wheels and mine/yours, so probably 5mm would be perfect. But they are not as "too tucked in" as I feared, so I'm gonna leave them be.

In my original picture, my front wheels are turned a bit. Here's a straight on shot with the wheels straight:

If you don’t mind, what tire size did you go with and is your car lowered? It looks lowered in pics with new wheels and I’m wondering if it’s the larger wheels filing in the wells or you lowered it as well. Very clean looking convertible. Enjoy.

Yes, it is lowered on Steeda Progressive Springs. I went with 275/35/20 tires in front and 295/35/20 in rear. I installed the 20's before the springs because the car already sat fairly low. I've seen some coupes with a solid 4" of wheel gap. The converts must sit lower because I only had about 1.5-2" of gap before the 1" drop. As you can see from my pics, there is only about .5" of gap left, but I have absolutely zero rubbing. It is about the most perfect stance I've ever had on any of my dropped vehicles. Hope that helps.

Thank you. Exactly the information I was after. Wheel gaps definitely seem to vary. My stock height on 20 gt pp1 seems low to me and I don’t believe the set up to be different from say none performance package 1 cars.

Very welcome

Yikes and I thought my 19x10s were close to the strut.

I have the same issue, fitments for 2020 PP1 are not the same as others for whatever reason. I just had to warranty my PS4S tires for 30's because of rubbing using their 35's. And that is on Steeda minimal drop springs. I also found out, installing a custom audio system, the passenger kick panel breaker panel is completely different than other past years.

The other side is a little tighter. You have to get aggressive with offsets and camber when you’re sticking 11” wheels up front. But those tires are small for that size wheel so I was able to get away with a smaller spacer

Where at in Maryland are you?

That's gorgeous. I want to do something like that but anodized red on my Black GT.

Thank you! And I think I’ve seen something like that before, and all I can say is amazing. Once you’re ready and have found the right rims, don’t hesitate. So Worth it.
