Stock Emira Wheels and Tires

I contacted Michelin and they say the 285/30/R20 is discontinued. They do have 285/35/R20 in both a OEM Mercedes (MO) Porsche (N0) options.

Is the /35 okay for a rear tire?

It will have a slightly larger rolling radius, so your speedo will be off.

Do they have a new 295 fitment like the stock tire? I think the 285/30 was a best effort size match, not a perfect one.

So 295/30 or 35?
 
I haven't decided when the i4 will be delivered, but I placed a special order for forged wheels today.
I was also hesitant about the BBS type, but decided on a simple 5-spoke design.
The base color of the wheel is dark gunmetal, with a yellow line in the center of the spokes to match EMIRA's body color.
The weight of the wheels is 10.3kg at the front and 10.6kg at the rear, and the load capacity is said to be 850kg. Delivery will take approximately 1 month.View attachment 34523View attachment 34524View attachment 34525
Who are these made by, and where did you get them? China?

yes.
This is a forged wheel made in China.
Wheels are machined from forged aluminum blocks by a machining center, so they are all made to order.
They create wheels with the customer's preferred design.
Painting can also be requested.
For your reference, I will post the website (URL) of the manufacturer I ordered from.

Is anyone able to confirm these wheel details?

Front: 8.5Jx20, ET57, hub/boss diameter 69.1mm. PCD 114.3mm
Rear: 10.5Jx20, ET54, hub/boss diameter 68.1mm, PCD 114.3mm
 
I had this saved:

Front: 20x8.5 ET 57 | 25.35 lbs. (11.5 kg)
Front Tires: 245/35/20

Rear: 20x10.5 ET 54 | 29.76 lbs. (13.5 kg)
Front Tires: 295/30/20

5x114.3 68.1CB

The only difference is you have front center bore diameter at 69.1 and rear at 68.1. Just something to double check.
 
Yeah, that's where I got those figures. Just rying to double double check before committing to an order
