Are all the wheels of this spec?

Wheel Specs:
HRE P101
22”x9” // 22”x10.5”
Finish: Satin Black
Tires: Pirelli P Zero Nero GT
Front: 245/30/22
Rear: 285/25/22


My standard wheels are:
Wheel dimensions front 7.5 J x 20 inches H2 IS40
Wheel dimensions rear 8.5 J x 20 inches H2 IS50

With tyres:

Tyre dimensions front 215/45 R20 95W XL
Tyre dimensions rear 245/40 R20 99W XL



Are there any clearance issues for suspension/wheel travel? Any issues with tyres rubbing on full lock?

If not, I imagine these would increase the available grip very noticeably. A rather nice upgrade.

What is the weight of your wheels with tyres versus the factory fit wider items I listed above?

Finally, is there a UK stockist?

Sometimes customers opt for a 21" setup and on extremely rare occasions a 20" setup. But the large majority of ours go with the 22" setup that you listed above. There are ZERO rubbing issues whatsoever. Out fitments are tried & tested - even on i8's that have been lowered. Wheel weight is estimated* to be 23.20 lbs for the front and 25.70 lbs for the rear.

Since they're made to order based on the wishes of the client who is ordering they aren't all the same fitment throughout each order, but yes 22x9 and 22x10.5 does seem to be a popular fitment.

No clearance issues to report with the recommended sizing of the wheel or the tire itself. Beyond our recommendation sure, their might be rubbing if you say wanted to go with a 255 tire or 295 tire on the rear and go beyond our recommendation of sizing.

Thank you for the information Do you have the weights including tyres please?

Does anyone know the weights of the factory i8 Turbine spoke style wheels? Just so we can compare.

Another thread here shows the Turbines INCLUDING tyres to be 44.6 and 47.6. The thread does not state the units of measurement, which I presume to Lbs as the poster is American.

It shows the front Turbines without tyres to be 24.0

So, if all the data is correct and comparable, then the weights are very similar.

If those OEM weights are accurate the, yes, it will be very similar but keep in mind that with the HRE's (and corresponding tires) the wheels will be much larger, much wider, and with your styling preferences. Quite the positive tradeoff I'd say

What tyres do you recommend for those wheels on i8 please? Pirelli P Zero Nero GT?

Are stickier/softer tyres available in that size? Or those with less tread i.e. cut slicks?

These Pirelli P Zero Nero GT's are the only ones available for this setup and they are quite excellent in their own right.

It looks like i8's in that paint finish have eluded us! No photos that I can see here in my gallery with that paint finish.

I do have a new set of photos though here of an i8 from Concept Motorsports!

You thinking of ordering HRE's for yours? Would be pretty cool to be the first and only Ionic Silver i8 in the world with premium HRE's.
