OZ Leggera HLT installed

[paradocs98]

Decided I didn't want to spend a silly amount of money twice a year to have my summer tires swapped over to winters on my stock wheels, especially when the techs typically grossly overtorque the lugs using the airgun. So I've got winters on my stock wheels and picked up an OZ/Michelin summer package from TireRack. Put them on the other day and happy so far. Went with the more aggressive offset (ET38) on 8.5" wide Leggera HLTs. Chose slightly wider 245/35-19 in the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. No rubbing so far, even with 034 Motorsport lowering springs installed. Thanks to threads on this board for the guidance in sizing. So one more data point that shows 245/35-19 on 19x8.5 ET38 works well on a lowered S3.

Love it! Especially the specs. Loved my 8.5 CH-R with 245. Please post more pics.

Any shots along the side of the car to show the stance?

I am interested as well! How do you like them? I ordered the same rims in 19x9 ET42 Gloss Black with Michelin PSS 235/35-19 a few days ago. I'm very excited to get a more proper stance on my car. I'm currently lowered on the stock 10 spoke 18 inch wheels and they tuck in a bit which I'm not the biggest fan of. I didn't want to get spacers as I've been planning on getting new rims for awhile. Some more pictures of yours would be lovely.

As requested, more pics.

Pardon the rusty brake rotors. The weather here has been miserable and I haven't driven the car today.

That looks about as perfect as can be. Great choice!
