anyone running 19x10s ?

[4point2]

Sorry to have to do this, I 've been searching for a few days and haven't found the answers I'm looking for, flame away if I've missed something obvious. This might just be a sign, but I'm thinking about going up to 19"wheels instead of my current 18s and need the collective guidance of the stance gurus out there...

Problem is the wheels I want only come in 19x8.5 et 35 or et 42 or 19x10" et 35. I think the 8.5 will not be concave enough but I'm worried the 10s won't work. I'm on Solowerks coilovers, and will be rolling my front fenders shortly because my 18 x 8.5 et 35 with 235/40 already rub. Anyone run somthing like this? what other mods did you do to make it work, and what's your FTG or FTA?

compare with your actual setup,

I feel like it will be really hard to "make them fit" right .

yeah i looked on there already, but that doesn't help with fender position or camber, so i was wondering if anyone did, what tires they actually run and how it looks etc.

Thats 19x10 in the rear with et48 on -2.0 camber on my new summer set up. Fronts are 9 inch and they are fender to lip fitment with 3mm spacer. youd need pull the fenders to fit 10's or go with more camber,

[sitting proper]

I know guys have been running 10s, but they also have air ride. Not sure if you could pull it off with coils.

[4point2]

I found at least one car running them all round, static too, but couldn't find any info on tire size and fender work, or any other pieces to make the puzzle work.

[Lucca M]

My fronts are 9" and they rub like crazy on stock fenders but im about to make them wider so it will be fine. But im static and also pretty low. It all depends on the setup.

I was running 265/35/18 tires on 18x9 ET 25 wheels with a FTG measurement of 25.5-25.75 inches and slightly rolled fenders and I didn't rub. Did poke out pretty far but I didn't rub.

Now I have even wider fenders and quarter panels because of body work and I want to see if I can fit 18x10 ET 35 wheels with wider tires still.

I would avoid 19 inch wheels if you can and still with 18 inch wheels. The tires sizes for 19 inch wheels are not cheap, easily sourced, and safe loading rating wise for a S4. RS4s can get away with 19s but it is harder with B6/7 S4s.

Thats why im going with rs4 fenders

Nice avant bud! I've actually been contemplating the same. From what I found, 10's up front is possible but it all comes down to offset(et) unless you want to start messing with camber. I was really disappointed finding this out last night, sourced a nice set of wheels with 10's all the way around but with et40, I would need spacers to lower the offset and clear up front. As for rears, I think people have ran up 11.5. This is what helped me out, you should also check out the Official Stance Thread in the B7 section, lots of info in there.

Oh it's not that hard to run 19's Jimmy. There are many B6/7's running them.



OP, you'll find more members running 10" wide wheels in the A4 sections. There is a b7 stance thread in the b7 a4 section where guys will post pictures of their setups, FTG specs and whatever. Also, in the b7 a4 chatterbox is the "for those who like to be different when it comes to wheels" thread and they are the most knowledgable when it comes to agressive setups so I can assure you that there are guys in there who have run 10's and wider.

I don't stance my car. Instead I like to run the wide tires on narrow wheels relatively with little negative camber.

You don't have to stance your car to run 19's. I ran a 19x8.5 on the a4 and s4 without having to camber anything so I don't get your point.

[geebus]

i will say that a 10" wide wheel is really aggressive unless you plan on doing fender work and adding camber. I'm on a 19x9.5 et30 and i rub. My offset is aggressive though. I wish it were et35 but that wasn't available for the wheel I was getting.

My last post was more in regards to the second paragraph that you had posted. You don't have to stance your car to run 19s but there are downsides to running 19 inch wheels. Like most people run 235/35/19 tires which don't have the correct load rating for the car. These cars call for a 95 load rating and most of the tires that people run for a 19 inch wheel are around 91 to 93 load ratings. A lot of people stretch the tires too far compared to what is recommended by the tire manufacture. Then price wise, a 235/35/19 Michelin PSS tire is $265.33 to a 235/40/18 Michelin PSS is $186.30 (using Tirerack.com prices) so that is a difference of $79.03 per tire. Tires for 19 inch wheels are just more expensive then tires for 18 inch wheels usually.

thanks for the input guys. I did go looking in the A4 section and saw both those threads, but they're both so massive with too many cars without full specs and so much side chat that you actually have to read the whole thing to get anywhere. I've decided against the 19x10 and am gonna be sticking to either a 18 x 9.5 or maybe a 19 x 8.5. sadly the 3SDM 0.06 only come in x10 so they're out in 19. They're over budget anyway so i'll have to find alternatives, back to the drawing board i go, damn Canadian dollar!!!

Nice avant bud!

Thanks man!

I know you want concave right? My Rotiform IND's in 19x8.5 et 45's weren't bad. With the offset I needed to run spacers but not a big deal lol


Sometimes I miss the 8.5's if only because I could tuck with them.

[4point2]

that's actually pretty sweet looking, nowhere near as flat as I'd thought they might be. I've been toying with the idea of going with TMBs since the 3sdm are over budget. anyone know how much concavity there is on the 19 x 8.5 version. Maybe i should just ask one of the dealers if the have a photo of one

[Blackstallion]

Not much to contribute but 19 x 10 setup reminds me of this guys avant. Couldn't rock it but it looked so slick...

Scroll down -- not a b7 but may give you an idea...

On my old S4, I ran 19x10 et35 on a 235/35/19. All 4 of my fenders were rolled and I was pretty freakin' low. Rubbed only very little on major dips/bumps in the road.





I bought these wheels from TayTay who ran them on his avant which was also slammed.





I'd say go for it!
