Post your wheel/tire setup with pictures and information...

[EErie B6]

Thats a sexy AR... Great stance. How do you like the Bridgestone 760s?

Oh, and "damn wide bodies".....

Thanks!

The RE760s are a nice tire. They ride nice and they ride quiet... My only complaint is treadwear. So far they have right around 7,500 miles on them and they are worn down about half way.

castor troy: Why did you go with such a small wheel? I'm not saying you should have went with 20s', but 17x8 seems rather small-ish.........

Agreed. Especially on a wide body Avant...

After google mapping his home town, and seeing nothing but mountains, and seeing he has winter tires on those. He probably has rough terrain to deal with where he is.

Same wheels I had, but I had the 18x8.5 all around. Can you post more pics of the rear CLS?

Completely agree. I think it should be in the main c5 forum, stickied.

[ENDEE666]

X2, especially since it didn't achieve its intent. People still post every day about what offset, tire or width. Let's get this moved back to the main section.. I mean its basically the same concept as the exhaust thread and that gets put in the main section.. I don't see how this is any more "Tech" than that..

Guys, I'll move it back tonight when I get home. I can't do any moderating with my phone anymore thanks to the sites new mobile version.

[ENDEE666]

Those are nice^! I would have done the 9.5 all around tho.

Great wheels, and I appreciate that

[Hambone101]

I saw the S6 was for sale on craigslist some time ago for 12000 i think!!! has it been sold?? i so wanted that car but it was too much for a first car lol.

[DNB01A64.2]

Question: Would it be too much to put 20 inch rim on a widebody?

[2BehindJordan]

Question: Would it be too much to put 20 inch rim on a widebody?

In my opinion, only Allroad's can pull that off without looking bad. A friend of mine has an RS6 and he had 20s for a bit. They were a nice wheel but they looked too big. And his tires were such low profile that the wheels looked more like a stop sign by the time he was done with them from all the bends..

Wide body cars can pull of the width, which I am jealous of.. But 18 still looks just right, 19 if you must and have roads that accomodate the lower tire.

[r2dmax]

Any thoughts on doing a 17x9 and 17x10 on a 2001 2.7tt Quattro? Too small? I dont want to go above 18, but I want width too

[2.7tbd]

Yea I think 17s might be just a bit small for my taste, but than I am switching from 19s. Has anyone done 18x9 255 35s on narrow body?

[Vinchenzo51]

17's are too small. You can run 18x9.5's or even 18x10's on a narrow body with carefully picked tires and ride height.

Im running 255/35's, you won't have an issue with the tires, but you won't be able to go too low, but you won't rub on the uprights or fenders as long as your offset is correct.

[ENDEE666]

Has anyone done 18x9 255 35s on narrow body?

Yes, see Frank's post at the beginning. He runs 255/35/18 on 18x8.5 et30, narrow body. I will be running them soon as well.

[2.7tbd]

Thanks guys. I saw Franks set up and with 35et 9s will stick about 2mm out and 11mm in. By the way wheels are team dynamics race 1.2. I currently have 19x8 235 35 je design css. Ill post some pics when I instal st coilovers and s8 d2 rear brakes.

[ENDEE666]

You better test fit. I don't think there is anny margin for error from Franks setup, having also test fit many sizes/offsets myself. You will likely rub inside if the wheel is not centered the same as his or very close.
