My 2014 MS85 has the optional 21" wheels (about 1,200 miles on them, in storage now for winter time -- have dealer installed 19" winter setup on the car now). I've been enjoying the smaller size, extra tire, here in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm not sure how I feel about the 21s come summer, not so much ride quality as much as road quality.
At this point I'm seriously considering going with an aftermarket 20" wheel/tire combo and have the following questions:
(1) - What sort of money do people normally get selling the factory 21" wheel/tire combo? I'd sell it all complete, so again this is a 1,200 mile old 21" (GREY color) factory setup, wheels + tires + TPMS. What sort of asking price, what sort of sale price is typical?
(2) - Looking at going with aftermarket wheels for summer, I'm leaning towards a 20x9 (or 20x8,5) setup. Do most people go staggered? I'm partial to being able to rotate for maximum tire life, but curious what results others have had. Sure I could go staggered for more rear tire, but then rotation and tire life is more limited, right? Thoughts? (realize this can be a bit opinion based, but hearing others results is ideal)
(3) - What tire size in 20" is most popular? I'd imagine a 245/40-20 since that is closest to OEM. But is anyone out there running something more aggressive like 275/35-20 all around? Is 275 too wide to fit up front? Seems like the most "slick" setup would be 20x9 all around on 275 tires, so you get the added grip, can still rotate, but will that fit/clear okay up front (ET35)? Will it handle worse due to the excessively wide up front rubber?
Right now I'm considering wheel options such as TSW Nurburgring or Verde Axis V99 .... but I'd really love to go custom forged if money permits (will depend on answer to #1 above and how much cash I can get from OE setup). Still, what I'm leaning towards would be a 20x9 ET35 245/40-20 setup all around for simplicity. Looking for suggested setups tho, tire sizes, etc... TIA for any helpful feedback. - Ari
