Aggressive Wheel Thread (S3)

[A4_kamil]

Was curious how well the 10 et35 cleared the inner shock on front and rear. So here's some aggressive clearance lol

Here is the front, more room the I expected
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170215/e53edd80340a839966deb1a9a87885ad.jpg


And the rear..... shock boot is literally touching the tire...
Also to be said, I am running -3 camber in the rear at the moment until my fenders get pulled.

Are the fronts adjustable at all with stock? Haven't had the chance to take a look.

Cannot adjust fronts, only camber that the front has is from the drop. About -1.2

Our customer, Ryan, just sent in photos of his Audi S3 sitting on a set of Vertini RF1.1 in the Brushed Titanium finish! Not as aggressive as the other ones I've seen but definitely good for those not wanting to lower too much.

Not super aggressive, but I like 'em! Thanks to Jason at GetYourWheels for dealing with all my stupid questions. I look forward to a proper photo shoot when spring comes.

That should work, gonna be close but stock ride height should get it done, if you lowered it you would need negative camber or fender work. You could consider a 255/30 if you think you may lower it one day

I run zero camber, so if you drop to this ^^^ tire size and willing to run -1 / -2 then you should not rub

What do people think I should go with in terms of tyre size - stock height Audi S3 8V Sedan.

I am fitting these rims to my S3 sedan (pictured below). They are 19x8.5 +43.

I am tossing up between 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 in tyre size. I gather the 255 will fit ok in this sizing?

What would you go for? Any help appreciated. I like the idea that I will have a slightly higher sidewall with the 255 so the ride might be a tad bit more compliant and softer.

I am ok with the tyre balooning on the rim for more comfort and to protect the rims more. Are you saying a 255/35 won't fit on 8.5"? It should physically fit on the rim ok.

Anyone in here running 19x8.5 et32 w/ either 255/30 or 235/35 tires? Preferably, not lowered, but I'll take what I can get. I just want to see it. Thanks!

[mattvandyk]

I'm gonna see if my 19x8.5 et32 TSW Nurburgrings off my A5 fit on the A3. Any suggestions on tire sizes?

Did you end up doing this? Do you have any pictures? Thanks!

[mattvandyk]

Its gonna be aggressive, 235 may work at stock height but might rub if lowered. 225/35/19 would be safer with a mild drop, or 215/35/19 if you're going lower

Would 255/30 work at stock height, do you think?

[ed@mtl]

Would 255/30 work at stock height, do you think?

110%.

[mattvandyk]

110%. u could go 255/35/19 as well.

Awesome, so just to confirm (sorry, I'm new at this, so trying to figure my way along), at stock height, 19x8.5 et32 w/ 255/30 or 235/35 *should* work w/o rubbing and w/o sticking out from the fender "too far," correct?

Thanks!!!

check my post. i'm at 19x9.5 et40. it does stick out but not that much and i'm at stock height. i could have went 255/35/19. next time i will.

So if yours works with an inch wider wheel, that gives me 1/2" to play with, and since the difference between our offsets is 5/16", I should have room to spare. Thanks, dude!!

[mattvandyk]

19" x 9.5, 40mm. 245/35/19. I'm 100% sure I could have done 255/35/19. I'm on stock height.

The front is not camber adjustable. To get camber adjustment in the front you'll need camber plates such as the Ground Control plates. The rear is camber adjustable via eccentrics on the upper arm.

I love the way these S6 wheels compliment the black/aluminum of my car, but can only find replicas online and the quality just doesn't seem up to snuff.

Does anyone have any suggestions for quality, lightweight wheels with the black/aluminum color scheme?

you need the black optics grill- the non BO grill has the platinum grey plastic. the bo has a nice satin black plastic. its a subtle difference but i think it will be worth it.

Yeah just can't bring myself to spend $500 on a grill. I'll just wrap each grey piece then it will look just like a BO grille. I would have just bought a mesh one but there is nothing on the market for ACC.

No Ecodes for me. I can't see wasting $1500 to not have orange reflectors, that's an engine tune and TCU tune.

How much tire are you trying to run? And how much negative camber are you willing to run?

Will most likely be PSS with 245 on a 9.5" width, or 235 on a 8.5" width. As far as negative camber is concerned, whatever I can get out of the stock suspension would suit me best. Most likely won't go camber plate route, but I will probably grab the SuperPro LCAs and 034 Rear Control Arms down the road.

You have the most aggressive setup on the forum from what I've seen. I'm not looking to go super wide, just enough to fill the gap and get a flush setup (doesn't have to be perfect for me). I mentioned it above, but most likely won't got camber plates will get what's possible out of the stock setup. I won't pull the fenders.

Wr3ks you know how I feel about your car already [hail]. What suspension setup/camber do you have? It looks like the front of yours pokes out a little, but the rear is flush.

I'm on ED springs natural camber from the drop gave me -1.0 in the front and adjusted the rear to -1.5. no fender mods [;)]

Yes, the front pokes a bit more than the rear does.

[hbracer93]

Will most likely be PSS with 245 on a 9.5" width, or 235 on a 8.5" width. As far as negative camber is concerned, whatever I can get out of the stock suspension would suit me best. Most likely won't go camber plate route, but I will probably grab the SuperPro LCAs and 034 Rear Control Arms down the road.

.

So my setup is the first post on this page, it's 19x9.5 +38 with the stock 235's. I'm on air thought and I rub if I'm lower than in the picture.

$800 is a lot for 1 degree of caster. The arms don't weigh any less than the stamped steel ones. You might get a bit of additional stiffness, but $800.

Just a quick question. I'm looking at getting some wheels. I'm looking at the Verde axis v99 they offer two sizes and I would like the most aggressive/concave version I could run. I'm currently lowered on h&r sport springs/15mm spacers front and rear. ( no rubbing so far) I plan on re using the pen 235 35 19 tires.

Options are 19 x 9.5 +48 & 19 x 9.5 +36

What would the offset be compared to the current 19 x 8 +49 (+34 with 15mm spacers?

the +48 will be really close to the strut. I don't think the offset will affect the concavity on those wheels. Typically concave is set and they add girth to the hub or take it away

[Lusky]

Both should work, the +48 will be really close to the strut. I don't think the offset will affect the concavity on those wheels. Typically concave is set and they add girth to the hub or take it away

19x9.5 +48 will not fit in the front, it will hit the strut. +36 will stick out of the fenders too far. Some of us have answered his post in a separate thread just before he posted here.

@sask - Are you only getting the 9.5 " for the concavity ? I would rather go with 19x8.5 +36

I test fitted many and had a set of 18x9 before switching to 18x9.5 et39 and 255/35-18. I rolled the fronts and had paint and body work done to fit the rears. I run zero camber but I am considering machining the wheels to et43 and running 275/35-18 nt01's since more traction would be helpful

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)

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

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.

my conti's run wider than most so it's a wider 235 but yea 245 would be no problem. I like the look of the 235's a little better.

[TCHUN003]

Here are my 19x9.5 et45 CH-R's with 235/35/19. I had 255's before. I think I might just swap these tires to my 19x8.5 renn motorsport wheels.

Looks like nobody on the mk7 has pulled off 245/35/19's on 19x8.5 et35's without rubbing. Anyone here running this setup?

That was my setup on v710s. No rubs at all. With 1/2 finger gap.

Love to see more pictures at different angles of your stance. Looking at doing similar. Looks great [drool]

Just saw your pics on page 3 and 4 of your build thread. I wish I would have kept the tires. I literally returned them this morning and I can't get the same deal I got a week ago.

red with the black optics and black wheels looks good. with this much stretch of a 235 on a 9.5 wheel what happens when you take fast turns? slides or sticks? despite PSS10's my car has lots of body roll - not liking that.

Try lowering springs and sway-bars. Optimal solution is coilovers, but I'm yet to find a reliable one to replace magride.
I'm seeing a bit of (~%10) improvement with sport springs though.

[zarraz]

great thread, I see it has moved along, I finally came back to an audi ordered an RS3, I wanted to know if 20x9.5 +40 with 235/30/20 will work on this car, probably lower with springs. If there are any pictures to show how it would look. I have seen the 20x9 pics and it looks good, but wanted a 9.5 for the concave look, any info would be appreciated, best regards.

The stretched tires have not caused any issues, they still stick like stock. With the H&R SS springs I still have body roll, but imagine that a sway would tighten this down. I enjoy the H&R SS spring ride quality, not much difference than stock MRC IMO, maybe a bit stiffer in a good way.




Wow wheels look great! My Verde wheels shipped today @ +36 they are going to poke 4mm further than your setup. Have you had any rubbing?

No rubbing on the fenders, actually thinking of running a 3 or 5mm spacer to be flush, so your +36 should be spot on!

One thing to note since these MRR GF6 wheels are pretty concave, I was rubbing on the front brake caliper carrier. I had to shave down a few mm where it was rubbing on the center of the carrier. Eventhough I've seen many run this setup 9.5 et40, I didn't take into account the concave nature of the wheel, just a heads up for anyone looking to run this in the future. A 3mm spacer would have made the wheel clear the brake caliper carrier no problem.

Interested in this ^ as well. I'm looking for a 19x9.5 setup for my S3 only for the concave look. I've seen people running this setup with no issues / and people who had to mod their fenders. I contacted Vossen the other day and they told me they only guarantee fitment of 8.5 & 9 (at most) for 8v S3.

No clearance issues, clear hub, caliper fine. Need to run a small valve stem though as they are situated in the barrel and could potentially come in contact with caliper if they were too long.
