    Guys, in true WB fashion we go above and beyond what you normally see out there. We have all see the 20/20 setups on most R8's out there, we didn't stop there. We wanted a 20/21 setup that topped the richter scale. Now this has been a controversial setup for some time, well we are here to say that, "IT WORKS"!!! We went with a 20x9 and 21x12.5 HRE P101 in satin monster green and wrapped those in 245/30/20 and 375/20/21. Let us know what you think about this setup, because we LOVE IT!



    Specs:

    20x9
    21x12.5

    245/30/20
    375/20/21

    The wheels look awesome, but I think the car would look better in black with some small silver accents.

    Well done!

    Guys simple explanation is it fits with in AWD ratio of the R8 already hes put 5k miles already on this set up. When we create a new fitment like when we did 1st R8 on 325 rears or 1st sls on 375 or GTR on 375 then 355 We always calculate all specs and take into consideration the gearing of the car This falls in line perfect with R8 no issues no mods no rubbing. Bolt and on enjoy only thing car must be lowered. For the math guys oem front 235/35/19 = 25.5 od and 245/30/20 =25.7 And oem rear 305/30/19 = 26.2 and 375/20/21 = 26.5 od its really not a 375 lol. even thought pirelli calls it 375.

    I like everything except the color you chose, it is hideous (imo) on such a beautiful car.

    Congratulation on your new purchase.

    I love my R8 I am sure you will also. I like your color choice. It is very unique. I would have chosen that color if the dealer had offered it to me.

    best

    I think it looks awful, purely based on the color, but the guy that owns it clearly doesn't care what folks think. :)

    Bright neon colors work in Miami so I'm sure the owner loves it and since it's his money that's all that matters.

    It is in poor taste, but I am not sure it is that bad.

    Beyond the esthetics, in the real world the rims would be scuffed and beat up within a matter of weeks. Tires will be banging the inner fender lip, etc. But then if your goal is Ocean Drive at 10MPH with a Starbucks in your hand, it's doable.

    I didn't think it was possible the R8 looks even worse. I'm glad I have not eaten!
