    Will these wheels fit?

    I am trying to get a 18" winter setup with 225/40r18. I am looking at these aftermarket rims and they have a ET38 and 66.6 centrebore size. Will these wheels fit without rubbing?

    Thanks in advance for the help

    I have 18x8.5 et 35 with 235/40/18 tires on my A3 with sport suspension. Not sure if u have an S car but there was no rubbing on my setup. You would need hubcentric rings as the 8Vs have a 57.1 centerbore.

    Yes I have the S3 8V. Would it be a problem since the brakes are bigger?

    You shouldn't have any issues with the brakes either as miroO1 mentioned you will need hub centric rings. I'm running my stock S4 wheels ET47 & tires (245-40-18) as I didn't want to get caught by a snow storm until I get new tires (just picked up the S3 last week) and had no rubbing issues thus far.

    Im about to order Renn Motorsport RS-51 wheels. 19x9.5
    Trying to lower with H&R Super sport springs which lowers 1.2inches.
    Trying to put 265/30/19 PSS tires.

    My question is which offset is better fit without rub on strut nor outside.... ET42 or ET50 ???
    I be doing Track days.. so trying to get widest tires as possible.

    thank you.

    I am going a different route now with 18x8.5 et 45 with either 225/40r18 or 235/40r18. Which one do you guys suggest would be a better idea? and will this clear the S3 brakes? Thanks
