I'm about to try this myself but I'm lowered on 034 springs

It'll fit with room
I'm running 19x10 35 on a very wide 255/35 (really 265) and just had to roll fenders. You would be good on a 9.5

Hello.

Love your set up.


I've got to ask.

How did the 19x9.5 ride when you had the ed springs before you went to coils?

Any rub from the springs ?


Thanks

In the event my inbox is full pleas hit me up at [email protected]

No rub at all.

Is there a reason why most of you guys are going with a wheel size of 19 rather than 20 for the S3?

Not everybody has. There are a couple good looking 20 setups out there, but mostly...20 is awfully big on this car.

Ahh that would be amazing! We had our Sepang Blue RS5 a few years back on Satin Bronze HRE P44SC. Just looked perfect!

Hey Alex,

What were the specs of these P44SC wheels? 21x? et?

Thanks

These are a 21x10.5" ET29

Would 19x9.5 et35 fit nicely without rubbing?

Depends on tire size. Also what type of suspension modifications are you planning to run.

Was looking to do a square set up with 245/35/19 with either H&R or ED springs on the 19x9.5 et35

[Wr3ks_S3]

FYI, It's gonna poke more than mine. Check a couple pages back for more pics.

I'm on 19x9.5 offset 38 with 245 Michelin pilot super sports.

So these would fit then 19 x 9.5 +36....... but would stick out 2mm further

Soooo a 255/30-19 on a 19x8.5 et45.... no problem?

Annnnnnnnd they fit. 275/30/19
Only about 2 CC gap from the front strut and had to trim the rear shock boot to clear the tires.

Well I have been lurking here for long enough now.. I am waiting on delivery of my 17 S3 in Riviera Blue that should be here next week. I have a set of BC Forged 2 piece wheels on order 19/9.5 et40 that should be here by end of month and 245/35/19 Potenza Pole S-04's already bought.. ED springs are already here so I'm hoping to have pics for you guys in the next couple weeks..

[SASKCHAUCH]

I have placed the order for the 19 x9.5 + 35 Verde axis v99 in gloss bronze. Will post some pictures when they arrive!

[HBird]

I have 034 springs and 8mm/12mm spacers coming in. I probably won't get them on until after I move in a month or so though. Wheels are RPF1s at 18x8 ET35 so new offsets should be ET27 and ET23 (front/rear)

[Alpha_S3]

Looks like some of you guys are running similar fitment of 19x9.5 et39 as listed for these TSW Bathurst https://www.getyourwheels.com/view-w...-rotary-forged but when I add my car to check the fitment 19x9.5 et39 is not listed. Instead 19x8.5 et43 is my only option https://www.getyourwheels.com/view-w...-rotary-forged Will the 19x9.5 et39 not fit my car without rubbing and fender modifications? I'm lowered on ED springs. Thanks

Fitment guides will only give you stock or slightly larger than stock sizes

So TSW Bathurst 19x9.5 et39 should fit with no rubbing and no mods to the fender? Just wanted to check since I have seen a couple on the S3's but they all look like to be running 19x8.5 et43 and none in the 19x9.5 et39 and didn't know if this particular wheel in that size gave issues.

[SASKCHAUCH]

Those should fit. Basically the same setup as the avant garde m580 that are 19 19x9.5 +40 so they would be out 1mm further

FYI, I answered you farther up 6/05/17 at 3:40 pm after you asked about a 19x9.5 et 35.

19x9.5 et39 is slightly less poke then mine. It won't rub on ED springs with 245s.

I have the Bathurst in 18x9.5 et39 and 255/35-18. I had front and rear fender work done because I run more tire than most everyone else and zero camber. I might have them machined to et43 and step up to 275/35-18

Thanks for your reply's, yeah I just wanted to make sure since I did see that Lusky had fender work but it looks like that is only if I wanted to run 255s.

Man it's hawt today!

225/35's?
I currently have 225/35/19's on my 19x8.5 et35 wheels, but I received my firestone firehawk indy 500's in 245/35/19. Hoping they fit without too much rubbing. I'm sure I'll have to roll the front fenders.

255/30 😁

The rear is 235/35.

This is on the rs3 which has wider fenders than the S3. So probably not the best comparison for fitment.

My car has the performance pack. Wider front tyres and narrow rear. This is how they come from Audi.
