Typical suspension/wheel thread Konig Hypergram

Looking to do Konig Hypergram wheels exactly like these. I can’t tell if the tires are 215/40/17 or 215/45/17. What lug nuts do these require?
I’m gonna go H&R springs(always have great luck with them in all my Fords). Are these how the Sports would sit or the Super Sports? Really like exactly how this looks.
Thanks y’all!

Those are likely 215/40s as 215/45s would rub at factory height.

I run 205/45s and those rub on large bumps/dips on Whiteline lowering springs.

How much do those lower the car? Looks really good

Given how those tires (R888R) are not offered in a 215/40-17, those are likely a 205/40-17 stretched onto an 8" wide wheel. [wink]

That’s what I was thinking. I’ll have to keep looking. It doesn’t bother me that much running 205’s, but obviously a little wider would be preferred.
I’m also worried about flinging up rocks etc with the R888’s. And I HATE how mudflaps look lol.

There is very little offered here in the states in a 215/40-17 which is not a 100 or 200 tread wear gumball, and only slightly more than that offered in the 205/40-17 size, in a pure street tire. [:(]

I’m torn between going 215’s and running the RT615’s or 205 and running R888’s. The RT660’s suck. These will only be used in spring/summer, stock wheels with all seasons will be going back on in the fall.

Have you looked at Dunlop z3 tires. They work well for me and I have had the RT615+ tire.


2017 Ford Fiesta ST, Shadow Black, Recaro seats, Mountune RMM, Swift springs, 5mm rear spacers.

No I haven’t. Trying to stay with tires I’ve used that I know work well. Really liked the 615’s, and will run them if I need to, but was hoping to run R888’s. The 615’s also don’t do bad in the rain(only gonna be used in the summer anyways).

Go with what you know works...I have ran the Firestone Indy's and now Run the RT615K+ in a P215/40r17 with Type R springs on NOS struts and shocks and definitely WON'T LOOK BACK. Love the look and cant wait for it to be warm out here in Mn so I get my Winters off.
