I am looking at trying the Hankook Z214 in the 245/40-17 size C51 medium compound.

I currently run Toyo RA1's 235/40-17 on SSR COMPS 17x8.5 ET 35MM
I have a 2000 A6 2.7T lowered and run this car primarily on the track.

Note: Will be installing either PSS9's or KW Variant 3 coilovers soon too.

Was just wondering about fitment issues. No problem with the RA1's, but the Z214's are 245's and may run narrowoer or wider than the RA1's. All the charts show them about the same with the Z214 just a smidge wider.

Also had a question about ordering 3 sets of tires, please email me

Thanks

I would expect no fitment problems with this setup, but it is always a good idea to test fit when installing race tires in wide sizes on lowered vehicles.

Feel free to email me directly about your ordering question.
