I'm running 255 RS4s on my 17x9 wheels right now, it still has too much sidewall flex when you load up the fronts. I'll be moving back to a 245/40/17. Btw I've noticed the ECFs run about 10mm wider than advertised (i.e. a 245 ECF fits like a 255 RS4)

Or at least check those nuts regularly to make sure they are still tight on there.

Car sounds incredible, BTW.
Yes as others stated its the m3 nuts with extended thread underneath. Plenty of threads! Thank you!

Thanks for this. Ive noticed the 245 ECF is a bit more chunky than my 245 ECS02. Also good to know about your experience with 255's. Ill probably stick to 245's now that I know that! Cheers
