    Pictures/Information request! I have a surprise *TEASER PIC*

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys, I have searched but haven't really found anything.

    I have some wheels in mind, they are 19" and 9" wide. Will it rub? Will 235/35 fit nicely or I'll have to go 245?

    ET41, hows that on our cars? Any pictures?

    I promise, it's something no one has done on an A4...

    edit; teaser;

    Re: Pictures/Information request! I have a surprise

    Those specs you listed would make the wheel have 15mm less inner clearance then the stock 17x8 sport wheels. The outside of the wheel would sit the same as my 19x8.5 ET35s.
    So as long as you have more then 15mm of clearance between your stock 17s (i'm guessing from your avatar) and your caliper, then you should be fine. I'd say you could add a 3 or 4mm spacer without rubbing issues if you have to (depending on how low you are).

    and if you like the stretched look, 235s will fit. if you want less stretch you'll want 245s....

    No I didn't post on Vortex. Thanks for the answer mattman. I don't want to post pictures of anything before but I'm going to get them next week.

    For now, I'm running sport pack suspension.

    well as long as you have more the 15mm of space between the inside of your spoke and your caliper (stock wheels of course), you should be fine. if you need spacers you might rub if you decide to go any lower.

    Those will fit fine. Personally, I think 245/35's are too much tire (sidewalls are too tall) and you should stick with the 235's.

    19x9 et37 with 225/35's.

    There is a measly 140 thou between 245/35-19 and 235/35-19... Hardly anyone will be able to tell.

    The fact that he has 15mm of clearance doesn't mean much since the design of the wheel matters just as much as the offset in determining brake clearance.

    Yeah I got them from MR.

    BTW, 235/35, will it be stretched on 9" wide? My car has only sport suspension so if its stretched but it's not tucking, it's going to be ugly.

    I assume it'll be stretched. I have 235s on my 8.5" and there's a slight stretch and the rim pokes a bit. so i assume yours will be noticeably stretched.

    There is a guy who live by me with an USP running the same wheels. They look really good on the car. I'll see if I can snap a picture later

    If you want some stretch, go with 225/35's (see my pics above for reference, those are Falken FK452's).

    I have 235/35s on my BBS's and it doesnt rub at all and I have a pretty agressive drop. But I wish that I would have stretched them a little more. It wasnt really enough for me personally.

    That's right sean1.8t, illaudiill is a scammer and dishonorable and took the money of me and a few other Audizine members without sending us what we bought from him. He will be banned!
