will 9" wide wheels fit up front?

[jojoampt]

gonna buy some RS6 reps from raderwerks. they only have 8" wide or 9" wide. will 9's fit up front? or, does anyone have a better spot to pick up some RS6 reps? thanks in advance.

They'll fit no problem as long as the offsets are correct.

If the offsets are between 33 and 38 you'll want to run 225/35's for tires. Higher than that and you can run 235/35's without rubbing if you want.

Depending on how low you are, you can probably get away with the 235's on the lower offsets too, however.

im pretty low as of now, but im gonna raise it up a bit. thanks capt.

[jojoampt]

the offset is 35 on the 9's by the way. so i could probably get away with 235's then?

[jojoampt]

bump... vinny's thread made me nervous. i know his offset is 29, but should i be ok with 235's if im not too low. if im at 25" will i rub?

the guy i bought my rs6 wheels off of (19x8), that im currently selling, said he was running 255/35/19's without rubbing. they are et45 and was running 8mm spacers making it et38

[jojoampt]

and they are 9" wide?

[eurogruppe]

nope 8

Hi! I´m running 9x19 et35 all around with 235/35-19 tires. But i´m going to change the tires to 265/30-19. I´ve also lowered it 45mm in front and 30mm rear.

this is my thought:

RS6 reps do not scream performance
They are heavy but look pretty sweet
Why dont you just get 225 series tires on there?

I am running 225/40 series on a 9.5 inch wheel...no issues so far

[jojoampt]

yeah, not trying to go for the performance aspect... i just really really like the way they look on avants. and i already have a set of tires that i was going to use that are 235/35/19's

[eurogruppe]

with 235's you have nothing to worry about. The width of the rims doesnt matter nearly as much as the tires do.
