Stuffing 10's in the rear....

[Freeze Plug]

Hello All,

I just bought my first Audi, a 99 A6 avant 2.8Q. I am wondering if anyone has stuffed 10's in the rear? I'm not worried about fender rolling heavily, stretching tires or major poke, not new things to me. If anyone has done this, can you please let me know what offset you were running? or is anyone has run something close? I dont have the car home yet so i can't measure anything up...

Also important: Is there a tolerance for rolling diameter that needs to be adhered to front to rear for all systems to work as they should with a staggered 8.5/10" setup?

thanks!!!

you can do 10 for sure, i have 9,5 and 1 inch spacer on the rear as of now, so i would say 10.5 will work too, oh and i have staggered, it all depends on overal wheel diameter then on the width....

[Freeze Plug]

oh ok, cool! have any pictures of your setup? the wheels are 18x8.5 and 18x10

[Freeze Plug]

also, what is the max width you can run in the front?

[Mantis]

8.5 to 9 easy. 9.5 before you start to have any issues in the front. Like Andrey said you can go real wide in the ass, just make sure that you keep the rolling diameter real close on all four corners

edit. this also depends on your suspension

sorry, i don't have any pictures but i'll do some asap...
Like Nothing77 (sorry could not find your name in the name thread) said, it all depends on suspension, i have H&R coilovers, the car is very low, and i was able to put 9.5 all around, basically i tried my rear wheels on the front, so i was about to put 9.5 all round but i could not find my rims anymore....
now i have 9.5x19 245/35/19 on the back(may look too euro for some people) and 8.5x19 with the same tire on the front.
here is the picture without spacers 45 tire on the back instead 35 that i have now, 35 def. looks and feels better.

very nice, thanks! I have been looking for a set of used coilovers but have had no luck....whats the best place to buy new? I would prefer something as stiff as possible, as I plan on being in the weeds with the car.

how close do the tire's rotating diameter need to be? almost dead on I would imagine?

my wife must be frisky, she thought the beggining of this thread should have started with OT: ;)

[Freeze Plug]

What offsets are you running?

[bigmerle]

ok...time to bring back an old thread...this is the deal....i am interested in freeze plugs old wheels...but worried about fit......when it comes to offset i can figure out the east sh*t but dont know about this....

Front:

18x9.5 et 18 5x112

any problems with tires and rims is very very very simple..pick your phone up and call tirerack..they will tell you all fitment on wheels and tires =]

Dont mind Hoffy, he never knows what the hell he is talking about! Tirerack will only tell you about standard fitment for the most part. They have no clue about stretch or poke. If im wrong ill eat my words! And be shocked at the same time.

Freeze Plug - Good to see more slammed Audi's around here. Cant wait to see what you come up with..

[a4bitches]

stuffing 10's in the rear should not be a problem on a 2.8 with the right offset
I have 20x9.5's front and 20x11's rear but i also have the 4.2 with flared arches.

pics or it didn't happen! must look so sick!

[Freeze Plug]

can anyone else help?

[m-avant]

I have 20x9.5 rears and it's right about there - flushed with the fenders. I have ET43 offset in the rears, and it just clears the upper suspension supports.

For the fronts, I have 20x8.5 ET37. They cleared ok with the stock suspension, rolled fenders after the Eibach/FSD install. Clearance is good on all 4 corners now.

rear:



front:

[Kievskiy]

the rims are 38mm offset, with .5 inch spacer on the fromt and .25 inch on the back.....thats what on the picture. now its different, much wider ;)

What offsets are you running?

[THM]

can you show me your setup
what tires you running

i am also interested, i have a set of wheels laying around that were a good offset for my a4, but way to wide in the rears, witha 275 width.. 18's btw, will they fit fellas? what offset would i need.. if i remember correctly between the front and back the offsets were like 34-38

[THM]

i know that stock offset is 35
i would love to put some all around 18X9 or 18X10 with 275/35 or 285/35

[G Men 08]

yeah the wheels i have layin around are a staggered setup as well 8.5 in the front and like 9.5 or 10 in the rear
