Alfa Romeo 4C Wheel
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a mid-engine sports car that features a unique wheel configuration designed to enhance both performance and aesthetics. The standard wheel sizes for the 4C are typically 205/45 R17 at the front and 235/40 R18 at the rear, although there are options for different sizes depending on the specific model and tire preferences.
Wheel Design and Construction
The wheels of the Alfa Romeo 4C are crafted with an emphasis on lightweight materials, primarily aluminum, which contributes to the car’s overall low weight of approximately 940 kg (2,070 lbs). This lightweight design is crucial for maintaining agility and responsiveness during driving. The wheels are often paired with high-performance tires such as the Pirelli P Zero, which provide excellent grip and handling characteristics.
Tire Options
Owners have reported switching from the stock wheel sizes to slightly larger configurations, such as 215/45R17 in the front and 245/40R18 in the rear. This change is referred to as a “+1 sizing” upgrade, which allows for better tire options while still maintaining a similar overall diameter. Such adjustments can improve ride quality over rough surfaces by providing a wider sidewall that absorbs bumps more effectively.
