Aggressive Wheel Thread (S3)

[fasts3]

With 19x8.5 +45 & 235/35/19 tires, you will have absolutely no RUB on either inside nor outside, even if you lowered it alot. On my S3, I'm currently running 19x8.5 +38 with 245/35/19 Mickey Thompson tires with NO RUBBING, and I am lowered on H&R Supersport springs. I've ran up to 19x9.5 with 255/35/19 tires with no rubbing. Here is my trial & error.

http://forums.fourtitude.com/showthread.php?7140721-Tires-245-255-series-on-A3-S3


I have S3 on order. Im about to order Renn Motorsport RS-51 wheels. 19x9.5 (they have ET42 or ET50)
Trying to lower with H&R Super sport springs which lowers 1.2inches.
Trying to put 265/30/19 PSS tires.

My question is which offset is better fit without rub on strut nor outside.... ET42 or ET50 ???
I be doing Track days.. so trying to get widest tires as possible.

thank you.

[fasts3]

After much debate, I'm going with AG M580 in a 19x9.5 with 255/30/19. Will be lowered on HR super Sports, hoping to get that lowered wide stance. Talked to several on this site and went through countless hours of looking at different set ups and decided this is the look I'm after. I will post pics as soon as I get them installed.

This is my set up.

VMR V709 19"X 8.5 ET45
Using 10mm spacers all round.

Effectively making them an ET35 set up.

I'M using Bridgestone RE003 235 35 19"

Perfect in my opinion for flushless.

I'm also on h&r sports springs

ET50 is far too conservative. Certainly the 42 is the way to go. Give me shout, and I can make you a killer deal on the tires and springs!

Very happy with quality of Neuspeed (and I am OCD!). Only marginally lighter than the 19x8 OE wheels as bigger wheels and Michelin PSS are heavier too, so all up saved around ~1 kg per corner.

Only concern is on the strut side. 9.5 et40 has been done and worked with 255/30 or 235/35 19 tires. I'm confident 245/35 would work also depending on how low you are.

Hey, im looking at the Stance SC1 19x9.5 et35 in Brushed titanium. I had Stance SC6 20x10 et42 on my B8.5 A4 before and the hubs were custom machined to a et38 in the rear to make it flush. Is there anyway, or is there any room on the hubs of these to be machined to an et40 for the SC1 in 19x9.5. Im looking to buy within the next two weeks for my 2016 A3 1.8t. Thanks in advance

P.S. I actually bought those SC6's from your demo car... The white B8.5 you guys had.

just the opposite here. some of the wheels posted are pretty nasty looking. (and that slammed look is terrible).... i sure hope people are not replacing the wheels that come with the mag ride with heavier wheels. the wheels that come with the mag ride are slightly less than 22 lbs (mag ride without black optics that is)

the to each his own principle is in full effect here

Not the most aggressive we've seen, but love how these 19x8.5 M590s all around came out on the A3

That's actually a 20" x 8.5" wearing 245/30 R20 Pirellis. We've used this fitment to a lot of success, including my own personal car.
Mine is an A3, but perhaps appropriate for the post. No rubbing at all on H&R Sports...a very small amount under heavy load on a Super Sport.

You may have more luck with a 235/35/19 or 255/30/19

The 9.5 +40 should fit nearly perfectly flush with the drop (slightly aggressive)
At stock height it might poke out a tad

The solowerks rides great, a bit stiffer than stock but great for our Florida roads. The rim is pretty flush with the fender with an et40 offset.

That's the look so many VW guys go for. The tires are too narrow for the rim width.

It's not a "look" it's a way of running more aggressive setups without rubbing

Too agressive if you need stretch tires that much.

[bwoy1981]

Like Mikeyhandz said, it allows you to go lower and create a stance that im aiming for. Square tires on a wheel isnt my thing...too ordinary. I get it in other states the roads are bad but here in Orlando we have beautiful roads where we have the freedom to play with all types of fitments.

And by the way iborrel, a 235 width tire is the recommended minimum on a 9.5" wiidth rim!

How much inner clearance do you have from the whee to the strut/shock ? I wanted to try getting 19x9.5 et45 see if I could squeez that in there

I'm 90% sure on the A3/S3s you have room to fit as high as a 19x9.5 +50 with a 255/35/19! 19x9.5 +45 should be no problem

Bringing this back from a bit of the dead! This isn't the most aggressive fitment on here, but for a daily driver like mine it's perfect.

We can custom machine them to 5x112 or you can run wobble bolts for the A3/S3 [up]

[949]

wouldn't wobble lug nuts work on these?

[GetYourWheels]

Yes, wobble bolts will work!
I meant to say that but I wrote spacers on accident.

Although I will need to check if the lug holes are built for 12mm lug or 14mm lugs. If its 12 we may need to machine them anyways for the 14mm bolts.

But it will definitely work!

Sounds aggressive with a 255 tire, might rub, you should be able to fit it with a 235
Post pics when they're on!

I'm trying to decide on a summer wheel choice for my s3,

I was looking at the BBS CH-R in 19x8.5 with a 235/35/19 tire but not sure on the offset, I also like the HRE FF01 19x8.5+47

Which version should I go for?

19x8.5+40 outer clearance is +15mm over factory 19's, will this rub?
19x8.5+48 outer clearance is +7mm over factory 19's this won't rub.

I will probably just be keeping it at factory height maybe one day getting HR sport springs.

Keep in mind I want to swap back to my factory 18's 18x7.5 +46 during the winter and it's a daily driver.
I don't want to deal with any rubbing at all so I was leaning towards the +48 since it would be closer to the factory offset what do you guys think?

[949]

do you have pics of the wheel?

since you got another set and you kinda want to look different by changing wheels, you should go with the +40.
why change and try to keep to similar stock offset, is what I'm thinking. make it look wild and aggressive.

I have 19x8.5 ET35 with 245 wide tires and it's fine lowered on coils with 1/2 finger gap.
With 235 wide tires you can go to +30 or possibly even +28.
So yeah +40 will fit easily. 9.5 +40 would be an even better choice.

I see. That setup you have never rubs at all even with people in the car, hard cornering?

I'm not looking to go too aggressive, especially if the car is going to be stock height (no mag ride). So +40 on on 8.5 would probably be as far as I'm willing to go.

Can I keep the factory Alignment and run the 19x8.5+40 and go back to the 18's in the winter without any problems or tire wear issues you think?

If you're not lowering your suspension, then alignment isn't necessary. Not rubbing at all.

Might as well get 9.5 with 245 tires if you're getting a whole new setup as its only a bit more $$$. Would really look nice and BBS can't really weigh that much more in the 9.5 wide.

do the 245's give that much more rim protection on a 8.5 over a 235? I wanted to go with 235 because they didn't looked very stretched and it's closer for the speedo.

You shouldnt rub at all with the 8.5 +40
235 will fit square on the 8.5s, no stretch
245 fits square on a 9

I am wondering if this size would look weird cause I'm used to seeing my stock 19inches.

Still can fit my finger tip in there from side of tire to fender. About 10mm space. Though the front has a little more room.

There will be stretch with a wider wheel also. So that may avoid rubbing.

1/2 finger gap is in reference to the drop. Basically can't fit my finger between the top of tire and fender.

correct, they are the same wheels as the TT clubsport concept. Audi make these for the RS7 & RS6 as their "winter" wheels, in 20x9+35 & 20x9.5+32 respectively. Mine are the rs7 ones, so less concave. the TT clubsport are the rs6 ones.
On the RS models, they come in polished + silver only. Here is a before & after refinishing the inners black to match the look of the TT Clubsport.

Here's a quick pic for those that wanted it. (I know, needs to be lowered.)

I'm in the middle of moving so this is simple and easy for now. If I hate the springs, I'll end up ordering C/O's through Chris@fifteen52... along with those sweet new LTW Formulas. [drool]

SPECS:

fifteen52 Formula Classic 2pc Forged
18x9.5 ET32
Hankook Evo 2's
245/35/18

Plan to lower about 1.2"-1.5" max (I'm over scraping doods)

Unique setup! Do you have any photos from an angle so we can see how they fit?
245 sounds a bit wide for those offsets so I'm curious

It is. Guess we'll see when I lower it. If they contact a tiny bit, I'll roll the stock ones until i find another wheel

They look a little "off" on the S3. It could be that they are 18's though with no drop. Suspension might sort that out.

[GetYourWheels]

After a drop and they camber in a bit it should look perfect!

Do you remember if these were the +45 or +35's ?

[GetYourWheels]

Do you remember if these were the +45 or +35's ?

Thats a very good question. I'm not 100% sure but based on how they fit I'm guessing +35

[Euro4LifeMkVI]

Thats a very good question. I'm not 100% sure but based on how they fit I'm guessing +35

Except the fact that they can tuck into the fenders, which would tend to mean its not as flush or almost poking like a +35 would be... they look like +40 or 45


I'm curious to see more of a dished wheel like an LM replica.

And also would be interesting to know how much lower H&R sports are depending upon if the vehicle is equipped with the Mag-ride

Thanks, It's definitely close. When compressed, there's only a few mm of gap tire-to-fender. Still zero rubbing, even on aggressive driving on the ACH today.

When aired out the wheels camber in quite a bit so its definitely possible to tuck +32 on the A3/S3s

Question:

I just won a set of Vorsteiners from a raffle. Im pretty sure Ive settled on the VFF103 in black. Vorsteiner has a 19x9.5 et 37 aggressive option available. Would i be ok with that? Im guessing 255 width tires would be the best way to go? Im not interested in stretch or anything like that, just want em square and the most contact patch for spirited drives. Standard fitment is 19x8.5 +45. Im on mag ride with H&R sport springs.


Sorry if this has been answered, ive gone through this thread a few times but dont remember the fitments that work off the top of my head and im just so stoked right now.

Kookie is running 18x9.5" et32 - 245/35 and a mild drop with no rubs. So yeah definitely go for the more aggressive 19x9.5 ET37.

Wow, congrats on the win! Not a bad prize at all
19x9.5 +37 works on the A3/S3, recommended 245/35/19 with a mild stretch
235 will also work on the setup

Not an S3, but these are S5 peelers 19x9 et33 on 235/35/19 Hankook v12s. Springs are H&R sports. I think it would be better with a 245/35 tires.

correct, they are the same wheels as the TT clubsport concept. Audi make these for the RS7 & RS6 as their "winter" wheels, in 20x9+35 & 20x9.5+32 respectively. Mine are the rs7 ones, so less concave...

Did you run the same 235/30/20 tire on these? You have a great knack for picking great looking oem rims for our cars!

Finally making the plunge in a few weeks to get 20x9 235/30/20 in gunmetal. Just need to decide on the offset, +32 or +38 with some extra lowering of the Bilsteins.

yea used the same tires, was looking for rims, came across these and just couldnt let them slip away lol.
Excited to see which wheels you end up going with. I vote the +32, but as you say you might be able to drop it more with the +38.

Can anyone tell me if 265/30/19 PSS tire can fit in our S3???

I ordered Renn motorsport RS-51 wheels. 19x9.5 ET42

I really want to put 265/30/19 PSS tire because this size is much lower price ($218) compare to 255/30 ($255) or 245/30 ($250)

Besides, I have TWO left over brand new PSS cup1 tires from last year when I had TTRS that I would like to make use of them.

My white S3 is arriving April so i can't test them now.

I think you'll have a good chance of fitting that. Never tested it before but it should have just enough clearance
Do a 255/30/19 if you want to be safe, but if you're willing to adjust the camber or roll a fender in a worst case scenario you should be able to do the 265s
But post pics if you try it out!

Interested in this myself a 265/30 is about the same height as stock. A 255/30 is smaller in height than stock. Believe it or not the 245/35 is taller than stock. I have some forgestar f14 19x9 et40 in my garage I may try the 265/30 pss. Might not get to it for a couple months.

I encourage everyone to head on over to www.willtheyfit.com

This will give you a pretty good idea in the change of specs directly compared to your initial setup. You can plug in any possible numbers here to see a difference in size. You'll also get your MPH correction! Obviously its not perfect, but I've used it for all my setups and everyone always tells me I'll scrape/rub. Still no issues to date [wrench]

If the specs are incorrect for YOUR stock wheels, you can update them and click 'calculate'

Take note of your ride height change(ground clearance) and MPH adjustment.

All you need is a ruler at this point.. do you have ~25mm of clearance from your current tire/wheel to your fender? I would think you'll have more than enough room on that setup.

19x8.5 et32 with 245/35 tires fit. I don't see why et35 wouldn't.

Did you have to roll your fenders out at all?

[2015S3]

where do i measure from?

[2015S3]

Note my offset is no longer 48 i have 10mm front spacers and 15mm rear spacers? Does anyone know if the 245/35/19 versus the 235/35/19 will fit 245's are much cheaper

[DarkSideGTI]

Did you look at the link Kookie posted? It states that the new setup would poke 19.4mm more than your current setup So put the measuring tape on the edge of your wheel and see if 19.4mm would clear.

[TofuShop]

any more pictures of fitment with 18"s and a stepped lip?

But it looks like he did not take into account the spacers that are already on the vehicle??

[DarkSideGTI]

Then add those to the calculation?

[element241]

But it looks like he did not take into account the spacers that are already on the vehicle??

Subtract the spacers from the calculation. These are the measurements you want:

Front: 19.4mm - 10mm spacer = 9.4mm additional poke compared to your current wheel/spacer
Rear: 19.4mm - 15mm spacer = 4.4mm additional poke compared to your current wheel/spacer

I know everyone is saying 19x9.5 et45 with 245 tires will fit fine, but I did a quick test by sticking the wheel wrench that is 1" wide between the suspension and my inner barrels. It's a tight fit. See pics.

I'm about to order some wheels. Can someone running this setup actually confirm? Or if you have 19x9.5 et40, can you reach inside the inner barrel and see if you can still fit your finger between the suspension and wheel?

Your current setup is 19x8.5 et 35 no? So a 19x9.5 et 45 would sit inside an additional 22.7mm so not quite an inch. Seems like it will be close as an inch is 25.4 mm. Did the wrench fit, if it did fit, but touched both the wheel and strut you may actually be ok.

Wrench just fits in there. With like a couple mm of space to squeeze it in.

Will the wheel camber towards the strut under compression? Just curious if we'll have to account for that. I'm looking to go 18x10 with 255's (I dunno, I like meaty)

I'll try to grab a measurement to see how much room there is from et32

[Z32drifter]

I'm wondering if this combo is even worth putting together to test fit. 20x9 +37 and a 265/30/20. I'm pretty sure it's too much tire for the offset. I'm thinking the rear might be ok, more concerned about the fronts. I expect I'll need to source a set of 235/30s if I want to run the wheels.

[coolwater]

Interestingly, my rear has less space towards fender than the front. But the strut spacing is opposite that.

that should fit just fine, I wouldn't even consider it aggressive. I am hoping to swap my stock tires out for some 245's soon.

[element241]

What offset will I need on a 19x9 wheel to make a 255/35 tire work on this chassis? Will either +40 or +45 offset work? I'm on mag-ride and will keep it at stock height or do a small drop on springs (Emmanuele maybe?). Thanks in advance.

40 with a 255 should be perfect. If you go lower than ED springs, I can't be sure though.

I'm on ED springs for reference* - Here's my setup compared to yours CLICK ME (http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=245&aspect=35&diameter=18&wheelwidth=9.5&offset=32&width2=255&aspect2=35&diameter2=19&wheelwidth2=9&offset2=40#content). I don't rub at all in any kind of load situation, so you should be just fine. 45 would probably be inset too far for my liking.

[JamesCluney]

Wow, that is a beautiful configuration!!! I've been looking at a couple of similar wheel models from Vossen and Niche but the ones on this photo look huge and extremely concave! Is this really "only" 19? 9.5 ET40? Which Alzor wheel model is this? I'm asking because I've checked the Alzor Wheels website (http://www.alzorwheels.com/wheels/audi-vw/) and couldn't come across a wheel model that looks similar to the ones of the photo. Thanks!

265/30/20 is not going to work, it's going to rub with a 9 +37. Just test fitted the rear, didn't even bother with the front. Guess I'll be ordering some 235/30s.

[949]

the offset seems really high. if you can get it down to +47 to + 49 then it looks like it may work.

if you really like the rims, take it to a rim repair place and have them shave as much as possible off on the rim's hub matting portion. that way it will bring the rim in some. depending on the rim, you might get lucky and be able to shave off 8mm or more. I know if you are wiling to have the lug holes filled and redrilled after they shave off the hub section, you should be able to get about a good 10mm off.

[Z32drifter]

I think it will be easier to just sell off the 265s and pick up a set of 235s. I like the original 19" wheels on my car but since Audi made them standard for the 16 S line everyone has them now. The new wheel set up should set my car apart from the crowd.

[sub-zero]

We did some measurements and calculations, if you go with custom offsets from AG, we can fit 19x9.5 +45 with a 245/35, and possibly even a 255/30!

If anyone is running a 19x9.5 +45 with a 245 please post some photos, I'd be curious to see how much room there is from the strut.

[forbiddenbeat]

While not entirely on topic, has anyone run a wider tire on the stock 19x8 with spacers and stock ride height? I'm running 10mm front/17.5mm rear spacers, and it seems like a 245/35-19 should fit easily (a 255 might look too square on an 8" wheel).

How much does it rub I have some +40s. Looks like that would be flush.

I only backed it out of the driveway and pulled back in. The whole side wall is outside of the fender, the shape of the shoulder clears but any compression and it hits the fender. I'm sure I could make it work, but it's my daily and I don't really want to go crazy to make it fit. I was thinking 235/30 but load rating sucks at 88. I'm thinking a 245/30 will be a better compromise.

Would you mind taking more pics of the front? Maybe a top down for reference. I'm trying to see how far the wheel/tire pokes if any.

They only offer 19x10 +36 or +55, neither would work fit very well, pretty aggressive,
You may be able to run the +55 with a 10mm spacer and a 255 stretched

But if you like the style you may want to look at the flow formed AG M621s that come in Deep Concave 19x9.5 +40 to 45 for a perfect fit

Nice, What size tire?

[JamesCluney]

Thanks Jason - appreciated! The AG M621 does indeed look pretty cool too... What I liked about the Vossen was that the lip is totally flat from the outer to the inner edge (the AG has some kind of a stepping edge that makes the wheel's diameter appear smaller). Still, I'm really looking forward to discover the polished copper set you have in the works! [:d]

[DarkSideGTI]

While those Vorsteiners are nice wheels, I don't think they are what I would call "aggressive".

Great setup! A drop would really complete the look perfectly

[A20V200]

While those Vorsteiners are nice wheels, I don't think they are what I would call "aggressive".

Is "aggressive" determined by the look of the wheel? Or the diameter + offset + tire + drop or.....? There are quite a few wheels in this thread that are boring or played out.

[DarkSideGTI]

The fitment is what I would consider "Aggressive" and what I think this thread is aiming towards. So 9.5" wheels, or setups that are low and flush as well could be considered "Aggressive". But 8.5's on stock suspension are what I don't consider aggressive. I do like those wheels though and almost ordered them for my car. My S3 isn't very aggressive, but my R32 is and on certain cars I like that look.

[JamesCluney]

That's exactly it Smyj1! Thanks!

So for everyone that said 19x8.5 Et35 with 245/35/19 is not AGRESSIVE and it will fit no problem and why are you worried ETC. ETC. ETc.

Well just installed mine yesterday and every fender rubs, front back rear side to side you name it. Iam lowered on NGP (KW V1). but I am barely dropped. I went back and hired the the front 5-turns and the rear is maxed out.

I am making some spacers for the rear perch adjusters and KW does have some various saggy but spacers that I am looking into but damn this sucks!

So I guess my next steps are alignment shop to see what they can do within the stock setup, I am assuming I need front camber plates and I have no idea what to do with the rear. I hope the spacers help a little, the rear sags a little much anyway.

[2015S3]

Has anyone rolled their fenders yet?

[DarkSideGTI]

You could put some 235's on with some more camber and might be ok.

[2015S3]

Now that the front is a little higher, I get no front rub. I removed the little fender liner "thingy" that sticks out and I am going to lower back down a little bit maybe two turns in the front.

I am also making a rear spring perch riser right now for saggy butt. I didn't like the rear sag anyway with the NGP/KW V1's I will maybe try rolling a tad, I have the roller at home.

No rubbing. The car is pretty low I set the ride height about 10mm higher than what KW listed as the min setting. I'll pull some ground to fender numbers today. I haven't messed with the camber, I just reset the toe after installing the coil overs.

Well just installed mine yesterday and every fender rubs, front back rear side to side you name it. Iam lowered on NGP (KW V1). but I am barely dropped. I went back and hired the the front 5-turns and the rear is maxed out.

I am making some spacers for the rear perch adjusters and KW does have some various saggy but spacers that I am looking into but damn this sucks!

http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag382/alpinedz/tires%20new%203_zpsvirx2pvh.jpg

So I guess my next steps are alignment shop to see what they can do within the stock setup, I am assuming I need front camber plates and I have no idea what to do with the rear. I hope the spacers help a little, the rear sags a little much anyway.


I dont understad why 2015S3 setup is rubbing all over... people put 255/30/19 on 9.5 width and it works! also, someone put 245/35/20 and still worked. Is his offset too low is that why?

[QUOTE=ndk83;10346007]I posted this on AudiSport but i thought i should do it here as well.

Id like to use this thread to start documenting different setups and finding out which setup works best.
Some people like slammed and tucked, while others care more about drivability and maintaing almost close to stock setups. My predicament is that I lean more towards the stance , i want a lil poke,, but i, more of a coilover/handling guy and still need the ability to tear up the mountain roads aggressively. On my previous car i ran an aggressive setup with wide wheels, and although it looked good, it killed the drive. This time around id like to find that happy medium between stance and driveability

This thread isnt about personal preference, and i hope it doesn't get derailed because of that and/or Mono.Pur . The outcome of this thread is to document different setups and find out
the most aggressive setup you can run without any fender mods,
which setups required fender rolling,
and what setups work for slammed/stanced look.
it also seems like the sedan s3 can run a more aggressive setup than the hatch
Issues with rear wheels hitting struts on wider wheels. (has anyone succesfuly run a 10.5?)
Oil pan issues on lowered cars similar to the 8P guys.
If your interested in posting your setups, please provide wheels specs tire sizes, suspensions mods, fender mods etc.

So far, Rabbit222's car is running the most aggressive setup (that ive come a cross) on this site.

His specs:
20x8.5+40 plus a 10mm spacer
235/3520 tire size.
No fender mods, no rubbing.

Look at this guys setup, he is on... ET30 on 20inch wheel...
20x8.5+40 plus a 10mm spacer
235/3520 tire size.
No fender mods, no rubbing. why is his setup says no rubbing??

[2015S3]

I am assuming the above has no suspension mods (stock).

My setup rubs period I am lowered 25.5" floor to fender. I can hire it, but again defeating the purpose that I am looking for. Iwas told this setup would be no problem by forum members, quess what they were wrong.

I am debating the following:
Trying a 235/35/19 tire
Taking it to my friend to roll fenders only slightly, again not something I want to do, nor do I want to pay another $120 for mounting and balance. But dont want to fuck up fenders now because I am impatient. So I am trying to figure this all out. Now I have not doen anything with the alignment yet at all.

I can not find a single person that has rolled or pulled fenders. This is my issue, I have done numerous subaru rolls, but never an audi. Now technically its the same type of procedure however, we have that weird indent.

at a loss right now!

[2015S3]

os should i go with a 225/35/19 to be safe?

[will13k7]

you really don't have many options, and you can't have it all, low + aggressive wheels + no-rub, pick any two.

[A20V200]

The back spacing on wheels comes into play as well.

I put in this guy setup and the our S3 OEM wheel spec (235/35/19 on 8 et46) onto http://www.willtheyfit.com/

and this is message it showed.
"Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 5mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 33.1mm more than before."

33.1mm!!!!! outer rim! and he is saying no rubbing..

I also did 2015S3 setup vs S3 OEM spec setup and it says outer rim will poke out 17.4mm.

What the hell! dont make sense..

Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 9.4mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 3.4mm more than before.

Something is wrong with 2015S3 car suspension setup??

[2015S3]

Well I just bought 235/35/19 so I will see sold my pirellis for 1/2 what I paid

I don't get it either

[2015S3]

I was told just now pirellis run wide? Wtf

[2015S3]

Maybe I need to clarify the rubbing, with one person in the car going over speed bumps rear rub (now not going fast). When going over RR tracking or small bumps, nothing.
I am getting mostly liner rub, but if you look up on the inside of the fender I do see a little black line, meaning it is rubbing there too. IT is not smashing inot the fender, but enough to mar the outside of the tire.

With two people in the car again speed bumps are an issue and fast dips are an issue rubs front and rear. I have not tried anyone on back as I know no matter what it will rub. Nothing in regular driving turns or backing up but I am sure I will get rub is moving fast in turns with dips or aggressive turns.

This is my daily so none of this is acceptable. I just bought a set of Nexen Nfera Su1 in 235/35/19, I don't know if they run narrow, true or wide. A downgrade form the Pirellis, but I am not spending another $900+ on tires. From what I read the nexen is a pretty damn good tire for the money, we will see what type of rub I get etc. They come in on Thursday so I will update all this weekend.

should have went with sumitomo HTR Z III (max performance) tire.
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Sumitomo&tireModel=HTR+Z+III&partnum=335YR9HTRZ3XL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes
$126 is not bad.

[2015S3]

No not bad at all but I paid $450 shipped for 4-brand new tires. everyone I spoke to said the Nfera is an excellent tire for the value, I am not spending another $700+

That said these will be my summers only, I will have winter tires for our shittty winters.

just saw that BBS CI-R are now available in 19's! they should be available any week now.

Might go with these instead of the CH-R's..
take a look at the offset options
http://www.bbs-usa.com/road_wheels/wheel_details.cfm?wheel=106

I know 19x8.5 +45mm with 235 will be no problem

but what about , the 19x9 +42mm with a 245? any issues with that fit, no drop here?

I'm thinking you'll want to run 235/35/19 instead of the 245 on 9 +42 to avoid rubbing if lowered.

[2015S3]

235/35/19 being mounted and balanced right now, so I will report tomorrow exactly how we are doing on the rub issue.

Note: The Pirellis are very square the Nexen are very rounded so I don't think I am going to have much of a problem with this setup. I will use these tires most likely for one season and then maybe switch the setup yet again next summer.

[Tdub Lion]

Thanks!

Hey do you remember what size wheel bolts you went with on these? Like 30mm thread length? I just dont know how thick the pad is on these wheels.

For the price of those BBS CI-R's =$$$!!!! I'm a little disappointed in the wheel weights....24+lbs for 19x9 wheel? I would expect them to be sub 20b wheels for that price. A lot of other options to reduce the rotating mass in that price point. Heck my GT5's are 23lbs....

[hbracer93]

This question has probably been asked but, has anyone unmounted there stock performance tires and mounted them on 19x9.5? I see most people run a 235 on a 9.5 and considering the performance wheels have a 235/35/19 I was considering not buying new tires and just remounting the stock ones. Thought?

[2015S3]

235/35/19 work great with the 19x8.5 ET35. I just need to readjust the rear suspension now

You shouldn't have any issue swapping your stock tires over to the new wheels.

[2015S3]

they are going to look stretched

[hbracer93]

I can live with stretched over spending $600 on tires.

[busycloud]

Would the AG M621s work on the Audi Q3 in 20 x 10?

I really like the deep concave look but have no clue what would work on the Q3 fitment wise.




They only offer 19x10 +36 or +55, neither would work fit very well, pretty aggressive,
You may be able to run the +55 with a 10mm spacer and a 255 stretched

But if you like the style you may want to look at the flow formed AG M621s that come in Deep Concave 19x9.5 +40 to 45 for a perfect fit

I have not done a setup on the Q3 yet, but it should be the same chassis as a Tiguan, I'd assume it will need to run 20x8.5 or 20x9 all around
10"s on the Tiguan I believe is possible but it'd need some some stretch to fit it.
Not 100% though, not until I get one here to actually measure.

[ChrisF1]

I will know next wee as I will be installing Bridgestone RE11's in that size on the stock 19's wheels, no drop, no spacers I hope it fits!

So how did it go?

Just a teaser. I can't take pics for my life. I think the guys from GetYourWheels will be posting some shortly though.

Specs:

19x9.5 et37 AG M621's in Polished Copper
Michelin PSS - 245/35(more like 255 with how Michelin sizes.)

Right now there is no rubbing other than when it's loaded. I had all 4 wheels and tires in the rear seat/trunk, the driver side rear showed light contact on the sidewall. I didn't hear or feel anything. The other 3 have no marks, so I think the alignment should take care of this.

I'm on updated ED springs, no rear pad yet.

[Taudiz]

Are any of you guys running camber plates with your setup or do you now need them

This is the A3/S3/RS3 section, so no. There is a Q3 section though.

[2015S3]

I cant believe your don't rub, but I think I was a little lower and had et35 even though that does not seem like a lot, the Pirellis I had are also super square.

[hbracer93]

his setup sticks out .42" more than yours, Odd you had so many rubbing issues

[hbracer93]

whats even more strange his tires and yours are the same section width, but his tread width is 8.8" while yours was 7.2". Maybe yours was lower.

[GetYourWheels]

I cant believe your don't rub, but I think I was a little lower and had et35 even though that does not seem like a lot, the Pirellis I had are also super square.

Reason Kookie's is not rubbing is because his 245/35/19 is being stretched on the 9.5s which give some more clearance.
A 245/35/19 fits completely square on the 8.5, which is why you were rubbing.

The setup came out amazing in the Polished Copper! Should have some nice pics to share soon when they get edited [up]

[phillyquattro]

Not looking for an aggressive set up as I already have one, but I am curious about a track set up. I'm looking at a set of O.Z. Ultraleggeras in 18x8 and was curious what offset I should get? They're offered in a 35mm or 45mm offset for our cars. Tire size recommendations would also be welcome. I'm thinking a 225/40/18 is probably best but interested in hearing what others think.

Thanks everyone. :-)

Just an opinion, and have noticed you put up awesome track photos. But wouldn't a lower offset create more understeer? I would go with the 45 offset, unless you're more concerned about a flush look(which you're more than well aware of).

Love the car man!
