I think I should introduce myself

what did I tell you.

[coolgraymemo]

I did 225 cus they fit.

If I would have done 245 or 255 I would have had to lift my car up to ~ 25" and get ~ 10mm spacers to get the "stance" I wanted.

[donkeysaudi]

what are u studying in college? do you like the meaty tire look or the stretched thin one?

[coolgraymemo]

Psychology. May end up switching it though.

Yea. I feel like the meaty look will never grow old; the stretched look is starting to die down.

[TConklin821]

I rock a 240 on a wheel with at ET30, I stretched the fenders as much as possible and I still rub sometimes. Car's looking great man.

Wow, a 240? Didn't know that tire existed. lol jk. I think you mean 245.

245/35 or 40?


Thanks! I still need to roll my front fenders.

[TConklin821]

I might, I'll go look lol

[TConklin821]

I lied, 235/40-18

[coolgraymemo]

Your car has a nice stance though. I've always liked the RS6 style wheels.


I am probably going to order 12mm spacers. I measured it out it looks like it'll fit better. Also, Seerlah provided pictures of his 18" setup (at et23) and it look great.

I'm probably going to buy a used 255/40 and 245/40 and put them on my spare wheels to see which will look better.


You guys should purchase one of my shift knobs. Or get yourself (and myself) $5 from clicking the link in my sig.

Do you have an oem shift knob for sale? I really want one, mine came with the stupid 96 one.

[coolgraymemo]

I just have a gray ("platinum") and a red one.

The red one actually looks kind of cool. If I had all black interior, I would keep it.


Little birdy told me you were getting new wheels. In the form of 19" AMG optical illusions (they always mess with my eyes)?

ppppppppssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh..................... ..............................

















yes

[coolgraymemo]

I've always liked those wheels, but I don't like that they are 19".

They should look pretty good. You should try and get four rears (9.5" all around would be awesome).

Well, I may in the future, but I can't buy 2 9.5s for the price that I got all 4 shipped. Eventually I want to make the amgs a square setup, and the 19s square

It's alright. Still in HS?

Eventually I'll go meaty.

That would be nice.
I still have one of the gray shift-knobs, if you want.

[NeedingAnAudi]

Pic or link?

< my classifieds.

< my classifieds.

If it was black or white I would take it. Think I'm going to go a little retro and get a hurst white ball shifter.

[crazexr7]

how did you find these? There interesting to say the least.

[coolgraymemo]

I went to buy some G12 from a small VW dealer from a town next to my brother's. While I was walking out, the worker asked me if I needed any parts because they were going to close the dealer. I ended up finding these.
As of a few weeks ago, the dealership permanently closed.

[1ch1ban]

I sort of regret getting 225's now.



I should of done 245 or 255.

well noted. i shall avoid this mistake.

[coolgraymemo]

Today was a long day...

- two midterms.
- creeped out by someone stalking me.

But at the end of the day, I had some spacers waiting for me.

At et23 the rear looks a lot better. Pictures tomorrow.

[crazexr7]

I can sort of relate besides the stalking part, had 2 exams. Looking forward to seeing the car with some spacers

[coolgraymemo]

One downside to running wheel studs -

I had a nail in my tire so I went to America's Tire to get it fixed. They get near my car and start harassing me about running wheel studs and not wheel bolts. "Those aren't safe," "We can't work on it like that," "We can put wheel bolts on." One of the workers said that they never work on cars like this - the same worker that put the tires on last time (with the studs).

[NeedingAnAudi]

Bastards. I would have been like, COOL! Studs are so much easier. Move to Chicago and I'll work on your car for you

Yesssssss! Thats what I'm about. Can anyone point me in the direction of a meaty tire thread on AZ? I might have to start a picture request thread.

I have been wanting to start one, but there aren't many "meaty" cars. Off the top of my head I can only think of needinganaudi.

And Max@034. When I have the cash I'm going to try 265s, at least in the rear

[DeathKing]

The B5 with the custom Enkei wheels? That thing is sweet.

This is basically what I am going for in the summer:

[coolgraymemo]

Found this picture on S/W. This is pretty much how I would like my car to be.

[coolgraymemo]

Picked up a set of semi-meaty 235/40's for my 18x8.5 RC's which will be refinished in the next weeks.

I'm excited.

[crazexr7]

This is awesome, it's weird seeing a stubby mirror on the driver side though from what it looks like

[coolgraymemo]

Also thinking of refinishing my 18" RC's in satin black.

[Turbwhistle]

^ Wtf, and post up some pictures of the rc's. Also, alex, how are you going to run meaty tires on 19's.
Memo, i enjoyed the 235/40's, this summer i want to find something much meatier though. Maybe 255's if i can get them to fit.
