Winter Wheel Setup - Sport Edition A7 Wheels Michelin X-Ice Xi2 225-50-18 NJ

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $800
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (State/Prov): NJ
Item Condition: Used
Tire/Wheel Type: Winter

I purchased these new last fall from tirerack and used them for one season. I put a little less than 6,500 miles on the setup. There are no TPMS sensors. The centering rings are attached to the wheels. I also have the lug nuts. I prefer local pickup but will ship if interested party pays for shipping. I had these on my 6MT Sport, so they will clear the brakes.

I have this exact setup and have used for two Chicago winters. I have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. Great setup!

Sorry, I don't have any pics. I'm not going to sell without the tires. Wheels are 18 x 8 with +35mm offset and 5.94" backspacing. As "Z gave way to G stated", these are legit for the sport coupe.

What's the speed rating on these? I'm looking to install on an "x," I assume they are non-staggered?

Xcoop, it's a winter tire. Lets hope you don't go over 80-90 mph when it's 20F outside and snowing. If you expect to get the most life out of any winter tire, the car should be driven fluidly, with no abrupt direction or speed changes.

IIRC they are T rated, 118 mph.

I have these tires myself too. They're great for a DD winter tire, but are so so in deep/rutted snow. Anything under 4-5" you should be ok

Edit: My sedan came with staggered, but ran 225/50/18 all around last winter with no issues (other than tpms light on because no sensors).

Last time I shipped a set of wheels from chi- ny, it was about $40/wheel via fedex. This was wheels and tires. If you put them in a square box, it's $8 less per wheel.
