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

[2.7tbd]

Hopefully Ill get help from Frank. I seen in past thread that he was considering 8mm spacers with that set up, in which case I think I would be golden.

[ENDEE666]

Look at the pics. No shot of 8mm further on that setup, trust me. Must have been a different setup. Test fit any wheels you can then compare on willtheyfit.com

[r2dmax]

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.

After looking at one the ones w/ 17s I agree. I am looking for 18x9 or 9.5 squared or 18x9 and 10. I havent gotten a chance to measure clearance, but will an 18x10 ET35 clear suspension w/o poking too much? I dont mind a touch of poke, just not excessive

[ENDEE666]

The wheel fill clear, yes. Tires will be your make/break factor.

So what size are the wheels actually?

[ENDEE666]

Hmmm... I always assumed a 19" tire would fall off an 18" wheel..

18x9.5 26ET front and back with 5x120>5x112 adapters (19mm)
225/40/18
Dunlop DZ101's
H&R Coilovers 23.5"FTG front and back
Fronts need rolled with front liner trimmed / rears need fender liner trimmed about 3 inches in.

I wonder how the fitment would be on a WB as I been pondering on some larger wheels over the factory pie plates :)

Same here because i want the same amount of poke as FrankA6 without spacers with 20 inch rims and on the widebody a6.

Without spacers, it can't be done unless you go with custom wheels. Frank's running adapters (serving as spacers) on his narrow body, a similar setup on a wide body would just need larger spacers or adapters.

You can run a 10" or 10.5" wide wheel, that will take up some of the room without spacers, but you'll probably only get ET30 offsets, and you'd want something closer to 0, especially if you go with 9.5's.

I take it this a6 isnt quattro??? How can u run same size tires on two different size rims on a quattro??
Shouldn't your sizing be
235/35/18.....8.5''
245/35/18.....9.5''

I came in here hoping to see fresh pictures of your avant. I am disappointed.

His sizing is correct, the tires will just have different amounts of stretch. I did the same thing with my previous set of staggered amg reps. I ran 225/35/19 f&r on 8.5f and 9.5r wheels.

Sorry i dont like to dissapoint, however the car was put on hold. My wife and i are finally closing on our first home next fri. I havent had any time or place to even work on the car. Pretty much next time you may see progress could be soon, if not july just before waterfest.

Congratulations. I hope to be in my first home by September, so I certainly understand sacrificing.

You make me want a wagon. Badly.

Btw tgank you to all the congradulation posts.

Saw his car yesterday, he made me change my mind on my new setup, I want to go back slammed and obnoxious again.

Already found my next wheel, but it will need some work to make adapt to this car. And from what i've found in hours of searching, has yet to be done.

[ProLux]

Vin, it was nice to meet you bro. Thanks, i love how loud the car CAN be. Its nice that when i drive normal it just sounds like an exhaust, but when i really booost it sound like a beast. Glad i could inspire you ;)

Spoke with a local VMR dealer and they said the can get the VB3's in whatever offset and 5x112 bolt pattern :)

Was thinking 19x9.5 front and back wrapped in 255/40-19 with 5 or 10 offset.

Feasible ??

Widebody?

If you are a narrow body car, then 255/40 is too big. You'd need 235/40 at the max, preferably 225/40 for the 9.5's to work. ET5 or ET10 is also too low for a narrow car, max it probably ET20-25 on a narrow car with 9.5's and even then, you might need a smaller tire.

On a widebody car, yes, that'll work fine.

Thats not 100% true. I have the wider body and i had snows that were 255/40/19 on my A8's pictured above and i couldnt even move the wheel when car was lowered off the jack. So overall i beleive it was 255/40/19 Et 45 no spacer and it would not work.

I now have 215/35/19 with a 25mm spacer and im good to go.

Im sorry im replying so late (finals coming up). But THANK YOU to ENDEE666, Vinchenzo51, and negativegain. I decided to go with either 2 rotiforms. its either cast 1 piece BLQ thats 19x9.5 et25 or cast 1 piece MIA thats 19x10 et25. both will be either stock or piano black. what wheel size do you guys think would be good for rough roads and handle potholes?? 245-255/35-40/19??

Yes, it is a widebody...

275/40/17 will fit on an 8.5" ET20 with only removing the top fender line screw in the front

I need to dial out all the camber, in the alignment, and pull the fenders more. i cant go full lock without fucking up the sheet metal, ive already destroyed the front fenders, so i need to cut them and fix them. fully remove the lips and clean them up.
