New Shoes

[darren @ SW]

Since I just got a new turbo....I thought I'd get some new shoes to go with it.
I LOVE the fact I can run 275's on this and NOT rub 1 bit.

[Vito Roma]

[EMAXX]

Old Wheels:

[Bart-Man]

the 100 lug nut holes doesn't look to good.

[4RingRook]

Nice! RS10s? Or Volks?

[MOFSTEEL]

They're Volk CE28n.

[JOS4AUDI]

looks very nice

[EMAXX]

The old wheels look pretty good too! What did you do with those?

[gyroscope]

what spoiler is that?

[Hockenheim]

shoes.. Great shoes for your hooptie bra.

[darren @ SW]

Rear spoiler is OEM.
Keeping the old wheels....for now.
Thanks for all the kind words!

what spoiler is that?

The CF spoiler is from the DTM 25th Anniversary S4 sold in Europe. I have the same one. You can get them from ecs or vagparts i believe. The weave is sick.

that looks so good it is making me wish I had kept my ce28s

Damn, Darren, you're on a roll. I need to make a trip out your way soon to drop off some goodies and take that baby out for a spin.

Wheel twin! What centercaps did you choose? They look like the blank silver ones but I can't tell for sure. Close ups? Looks great and I am very jealous of your turbo!!!

[Sly Raskal]

Looks good!

What size are they? offset, width, give us the scoop!

I didn't know we can run 275's all around.

[D.C. Designs]

looks pretty good :)

[Sharkfin]

Looks good, love the DTM front. How the heck do you run 275s? I'm running 245 and its tight in there

[Six Speed Turbo]

Car looks great.

[jusee]

yes, i'd like to know how you run 275s

[A4donkey]

wouldn't 275 be too wide for a little engine(2L), it will only degrade the acceleration performance with exceesive traction but if you put 400whp on it .
Like a midget with big foot...... kidding

[LimiTed]

your brakes make me drool

[Unholy B7]

she is looking good bro

keep up the good work

thank you, kind sir.

[redlabel81]

You need to post some more pics! And we really need to get some info on how you can run 275s?

[darren @ SW]

As these wheels were custom built, all you have to do is order the correct offset for the brakes, and the tires. I have no rubbing at all.

[swoardrider]

yes, i'd like to know how you run 275s

Darren is right. Its all about offsets and rim design. If you have a rim in which the spokes spider out like the Volk CE28's or in my case Tenzo Type-M's, you can run a high offset and still clear the calipers. I found ET43-45 works best. Then you gotta squeeze the tire on a 8.5" rim which pulls the tire just narrow enough to get them under the car without bashing a fender or rubbing the inner arm.
Some tires tend to run narrower than others. For example the Toyo T1R in a 275 has an overall width of 10.6". A Toyo Proxes 4 (my street tires) have the same overall width of 10.6" but in a 265.
Some tires are just the opposite and run really wide. I've had 2 sets of 265 width street tires that fit fine but when I test fitted a Toyo R888 race tire for the track in a 265 it was way too wide so I went with 255's. My track R888 in 255's are about the same width as my 265 street tires.
It seems from my experience that the biggest tire you can get under our cars is one that has a overall width no larger than 10.6". Although, this number should only be used as a guideline because the tire manufacturers' specs don't seem very accurate. Test fitting is the best option.

Love them! I have the exact same ones, am running T1-R's 265/30. Congrats!
