The 808s have been mounted. A few general quick impressions,
Aesthetics The 808s look alright on the car. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the spoke design and dark grey color however they came out better than I expected. The Donington Grey seems to work with these wheels. Rear wheel arch gap I was concerned about the drop from 22” to 21” in the rear and the adverse visual effect it would have (exacerbating the gap in the wheel arch). Again, it doesn’t look much different than the 22” 809s. You guys let me know below. Ride Quality In limited driving, the combination of the 21” square set up on Michelin Pilot Alpin 5s have taken a slight edge off the felt firmness. I wouldn’t say it’s transformative however, over some familiar road imperfections, I can definitely report that the ride is more compliant. I am still looking to fine tune the tire pressures (psi) for winter driving (I’m sure it’s in the manual) however if anyone knows the correct pressures F/R please chime in. They are currently at around 37F/40R The overall swap process was nice and easy, paid $$22 total (yes for ALL FOUR) at my local well regarded tire shop… not bad. I’ll see them again in March/April for the switch back to the 809s. Before & After pics Last edited by akunob; 12-21-2021 at 06:39 PM.. |

For those that have the 808m winter setup, can you confirm that the tires are 295/35/21 on all 4 corners? Is that rear rim 10.5 width as well? what is the offset on both front and rear wheels?
I'm really contemplating getting a set and ditching the snow tires for some all-seasons and if I run 295/35/21 on all 4 wheels, then my tire choices open up exponentially. |

How does the 295 looks with the 11?

Not too bad but it doesn’t seem like it fills the wheel well like the 21/22 staggered setup factory. It’s fine for winter though.
