Aggressive Wheel Thread (S3)

[SASKCHAUCH]

Did a test fit. Thinking I may need a slight roll. What do you guys think?

[jon-stuver]

Have a set of khumo ecsta ps91(pss knockoffs) coming 245/35/19 going on 19x9.5 +36 wheels. Will post some photoswhen they are mounted.

Keep us updated on which route you'd go. Rolling fenders or changing tires back

Take it from me, GET THAT ROLLED ASAP! Lol if you learn the hard way it’ll cost ya 1500-2k at the slightest .

[SASKCHAUCH]

Will be rolling front, removing fender liner screw, will also be adding rear camber... as there is nothing to roll out back.

As far as the rear fender liner goes... would it be beneficial to trim the rear liner? Im hoping the extra camber will allow the tire to tuck

[SASKCHAUCH]

Got the wheels installed today, had to trim the rear shock dust cover, adjusted to max camber on the rear. Minor roll/screw tab removal on the front. No rubbing so far... may remove front liner and roll a bit more.

[INYAUDI]

Glad to see you got it dialed in, looks great

[SASKCHAUCH]

Was surprised how much camber adjustment was available in the back.

What happened that cost you that much to repair?

Rear quarter respray, fitment was too aggressive.

New shoes. ADV.1 19x9.5 and 19x10.

Do you have better pictures of these?! Looks great

I have some wheels from my 13' Bug turbo I thought I'd try for sizing. They are 18x8.5 ET35 with 255/40-18 Firestones (2% bigger than the factory setup) and seem to fit fine with stock height and alignment (even better when lowered and camber set where I want it). Would the Internet hate me for running these, maybe with a gold "Quattro" logo on the rear doors? I'll probably go with reverse staggered Enkei RFP1s when the various tires I have wear out in 18x9 (255/35) Front and 18x8 (235/40) Rear with 15mm spacers in back as I care more about performance than anything else.

Forget the S3! Moar pics of the r8! Haha

Jk. Run what you like! The wheels look cool!

Thx ;) I'm running stock wheels with 15mm spacers front and rear on the R8 (leftover from my bug), though 10F and 20R would be better I think.

I'm actually looking at these wheels for my A3. Do you notice a huge weight difference? I don't want them to feel heavy.

They definitely aren't light. I dont really notice the difference though tbh. I dont track the car, normal city driving mostly.

Sorry if you posted already but what are the wheel/tire specs? Car looks incredible btw. Well done!

Okay, thanks for the info. I just don't want it to feel heavy when turning the wheels or anything. I'll most likely go with titanium lug nuts as well to reduce the weight.

Do you have any issue with the 235/35 on the 8.5? I was looking into a 245, but since I already have the 235, I was hoping to just throw them on... I do not want any stretch, but it looks pretty good on yours

According to tire rack, you can us the 235 on wheels 8-9" and be "normal", with 8.5 being the center of the design spec, so you'll be good to go.

Has anyone been able to fit a 255 tire on a similar set up?

I see some people riding on 20s, which do look good but make the car still look a little high even after a drop. has anybody run 30 series rubber on their 19s versus 35? I don't know if its just me, but 19s on this a3 look like 18s on a mk4 jetta.

This was a 235/35/19 On a set of ADV05 CS. This set is available for sale as well at a great demo price! Click the images for our complete gallery.

@SASKCHAUCH.... that is a SICK setup! Those are some great pics too

No issues at all after two years, and my Conti's run kinda wide, so they don't looked stretched at all, go with Pilot Super Sports or Pilot Sport 4 S tires if you want the widest non stretch look on a 235.

[Elvir]

We certainly have! 255/30/19 On a set of ADV05 CS. This set is available for sale as well at a great demo price! Click the images for our complete gallery.

That looks good. Do you know if the owner of that car had to do any fender work?

Yes. I was lowered on H&R, but now I'm on Emmanuel design springs. No issues with either setup. Looks nice and aggressive.
