Hey guys!!!

So just got into dental school so selling my tank (2016 wrangler lifted on 37's) for a better commuter car... Picking up a black 2015 A3 later this week..

Planning on adding 19" wheels, tinting windows and turn signal, LED swaps and blacking out the grille and honestly thats probably it for now!

Question: will 19" wheels with an offset of 35 fit an A3 okay??

I am wanting to go with these, anybody have these so I know they will look alright?





And here is a couplem pics of the wrangler... "Jessica" leaves tomorrow :( lol

I'm not a fitment expert but one thing you'll need to include is the wheel width since that has to be taken into account.

Oh, and congrats!

Welcome. Those wheels are replicas of the OEM VW wheel. 35 offset will be aggressive on the A3. I would stick to et40-51. If your A3 doesn't have the sport suspension, then 19 inch wheels will look really weird on the stock ride height.

Thank you!!

They are 19x8 with 35 offset and will be mounted on 235x35x19 tires

What would be an ideal setup? Having trouble finding any 5x112 with any other offset than 35..

Won't stick out too bad? Want a flush fit.. I'm concerned with offset

[dbtong]

I believe the stock 18" wheels are 18x8 with an offset of ET46 so your proposed new setup should sit 10mm closer to the fender edge and that's not taking into account the slightly wider tire.

[dr zeus]

Would 18" be a better look on stock suspension? Might lower just a tad but not until Spring.

Okay need to decide which direction I am going... Need advice on which wheels to get.

Plan on dropping on HR sport springs so drop about an inch..

Do I go:

A) 18x8 with 45mm offset
B) 19x8 with 35mm offset
C) 18x7.5 with 35mm offset

What will look better?

Leaning towards C since I will be dropping it as well..
