Tires... 19x 9.5 all around... is that a problem?

[hacellular]

I need help please!!! with tire size
Ok, I have at-italia wheels, their 19x9.5 (all 4 rims). I am not sure what off set they are and i dont know how to find out. did many searches and found nothing.

Know to the help part.

I need to buy tires and i dont know what size to buy. I have a audi a 4 b6 3.0l and I'm in the process of putting putting coilover (pss9's) on the car and by the way its not that easy... so what size tires should i get? im scared of rubbing? but if its not a great amount of rubbing that i dont care. please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Harry

no body knows?

if u look from the inside of the wheel at the spokes it should say ET?? 9.5's in the front are freakin wide.

[hacellular]

yeah I know, but i am stuck with the rims 9.5 is what i have and I have to make it happen..... what do i need to do? will 235 by 35 tires fit a 9.5 inch rim?

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^find the offset like i said and then we'll see also we need suspension details.

[hacellular]

suspension details, PSS 9s coilovers.... their for the s4 b6 so the spring rate is 400 plus dont know for sure but i know their a lot stiffer... im thinking of lowing it about 2 inchs. and im willing ot roll the fenders.....

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^OFFSET? look behind the frakin spokes lol, that's all that matters.

[hacellular]

I will check out the off set tomorrow, im not near the rims right now..... but i think there 38.... not 100% sure....

Good luck, there either going to hit the strut or the fender, or both

[pondside36]

Which AT Italias do you have, I didn't think they made 19X9.5 for our cars?

I think your wrong buddy. I have a good feeling its going to work out just right.... we will see...

lol alright, be sure to let us know how it works out, you shouldnt listen to me anyways, I dont know anything ...

[pondside36]

If anyone knows, it is A4ringedONE8T... but you can try and see for yourself, you may want to put them on before you lower it to see if it will work on the fronts...we want pics too...

haha thanks, Ive personally put a set of 18x9's ET38 with 235/40's on a B6, they cleared the strut by about 3mm and were just barely poked outside the fender, and of course we know what a 235 on a 9" wheel looks like, they provided some extra clearance. An extra 1/2" and if the offset is any lower, they will hit the strut. To clear an extra 1/2" and clear the strut, they are most likely going to be in the ET32-35 range and will rub the fender if lowered at all. If custom wheel manufacturers will not recommend over an 8.5" up front and not sell you bigger than a 9" for our platform, I guarantee a company like AT is not going to get it to fit

dude there is a guy on the cover of eurotuner with 20x9.5 in the font. what did he do other then widebody. ok im willing to do wide body or flair out my fenders. no will it still hit the strut ? what if i use spacers?

Other than a widebody? lol That would make all the difference ... Of course you can fit what you want if you're building the body AROUND the wheels. The B6 fenders don't roll much, you can gain a few mm's at most. If your willing to "widebody" your car, you shouldn't be starting with the wheels you have ...

[hacellular]

if i rub the fender a little bit i dont really care, but I cant turn that good or its hitting the strut, then I need to do something about it.... there has to be a solution....

lol, well you have to start somewhere hahahah j/k. dude im just saying if i rull the shit out the fenders and stretch the shit out of a 235 35 and make it fit a 9.5 inch rim then i might save some too. plus i have a stiff ass springs with the s4 pss9s... that might help a little.

[A4ringedONE8T]

Buy wheels that fit. Hitting the strut can be fixed with a spacer, its going to do alot more than "rub" the fender though

[pondside36]

The solution is sell those wheels since they aren't for our cars... and get a different set. What did they come off of that had that kind of clearance? I did a quick search on Tirerack and found no audi that would use that wheel.

[hacellular]

the problem is that they dont make this wheel anymore. I bought them from a guy off of audi zine and the guy had them on an s4 b6. he said he did not have any problems but his car was not lowered. the thing is that this rim is made for our cars but i think that AT Italia made a mistake and stopped selling it.... I will find out what the off set is tomorrow. i think I will be ordering tires just not 100% on what size. But when i do I will take pix. I will make them fit some how some way. spacer and rolling the shiit out of the fenders. I see that you had a 3076 turbo on your car... Im a evo guy had two evos and had the ams 3076 kit one of them. put down 450 awd on a dyno jet. the best turbo love it... i think its better then 35r or 37r for the street. any way i will take pix asap. how far can i roll them fender?

Let us know how it goes, and yes I still have the 3076R. I wouldnt say its better than a 35R if you can spool it. There is no such thing as a GT37R, its a GT37 non BB, R = DBB. HKS did make a special turbo that used GT37 wheels and put them on there own DBB hardware and housings

there is one HTA37R, dude it seems like you sound like you know what your talking about, but dude 37r is a little bigger then a 35r. im saying that a 3076 is better for a 2.0 on the street then a 35r, 37r, 40r, 42r est. now on a v8 or an rb26 i would say a 37r is just right...

[hacellular]

its a all Bearing HTA37R Turbocharger.... for got to say that

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^dude ur arguing with the wrong guy, this guy is one of the master techs in the B6 forums, he not only owns his own shop but has built so many motors and put together so many setups i highly doubt we can can't that high. he knows his SHIT! and he knows his shit damn well! Trust me i have 18x8.5 ET35 wheels with 245/40 ZR18's and i'm lowered, anyways i have literally 3mm of space from my fenders.

[hacellular]

im sure he knows hit SHIT! really good. but everything is possible my friend. thats why im asking someone that might make it possible not tell me good luck and good sell your rims. and I kinda know my SHIT! when it comes to turbos.............. dont know that much SHIT! about audis lol but im learning....

Anything is possible, it only takes money. Not to be judgemental but if you're trying to make AT wheels fit like you are, Im guessing money IS of some concern, but yet again I may be wrong .... Its not like your trying to make a 6k set of wheels fit

[A4ringedONE8T]

there is one HTA37R, dude it seems like you sound like you know what your talking about, but dude 37r is a little bigger then a 35r. im saying that a 3076 is better for a 2.0 on the street then a 35r, 37r, 40r, 42r est. now on a v8 or an rb26 i would say a 37r is just right...

Its all what you like and your driving style, the 3076R on my car is nothing like a 3076R on an Evo, completely different animal

[hacellular]

yeah your right money is some concern. but i like the wheels... we will see. maybe i will change my mind and just buy other wheels, your making me give up man. i hate giving up, but it might just be cheaper if i do give up lol

Buy my HRE's, they are a perfect fit

[hacellular]

lmao your killing me, how much do you want for them, show me some pix..... maybe i will.....

[pondside36]

If you like the wheels see if you can find a set of 19x8.5 for the front and you'll be golden, some camber in the rear and you'll have what you are going for. Good luck and no one said give up, we were just being realistic with the info given.

i looked but cant find them anywhere, plus i have awd cant do that....

[pondside36]

you can run a staggered set up fine, it is staying within the original OEM tire/wheel diameter the concern for quattro.

[romell]

3750 is too much for you? but u were willing to go widebody? condfused!

btw ur tuner.. was it ivy? best tuner for evos in the world.
