With the additional three sizes, the AD08 is now available in 35 sizes ranging from 15 to 19 inches and is designed for a variety of premium sports cars and sedans, including Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus and others.

The 245/40R19 94W will fit the Nissan 370Z (front); the 265/35R19 94W is for the Porsche Boxster/Cayman (rear) and BMW M3 (rear); and the 275/35R19 96W is for the Nissan 370 (rear).
