Here you go. PSS set at the highest possible which translated to approximately 1/2" drop. No spacers.

So I unfortunately scraped two of my wheels resulting in curb rash. It's driving me nuts. I would like to replace them however the size I need, 19x8.5 isn't available. I did notice that 19x10 is available, which is very wide. But I wouldn't mind just going ahead and replacing all of the wheels if it means I can get them now.

My question is would a 19x10 even fit an A3? Has anyone on here ever ran wheels this size? Do you think I would end up with too much poke?

Just get them refinished. There are usually mobile wheel repair companies. Shouldn't be more than $180 per wheel.

Won't quite look original though will it?

If you find a quality wheel repair guy you will be fine. Just check yelp. Otherwise call your local Audi dealership, they also have a repair guy that they can recommend I am sure.

I met up with a mobile repair guy at a local Audi dealership the other day. He told me he could basically "touch them up" and that they wouldn't look 100% because the wheels have a machined lip. He recommended another place that could re-machine them so I went there. They quoted me 450 per wheel which seems kinda high, right? The wheels aren't even worth that

Touch up and live with it, or buy new wheels then in my opinion. That's what I would do.

2023 A3 stage 1
RS3 aftermarket bumper.
Gloss black wheels.
Blacked out badges/de-badged.
5% rear tint 35% front tint.
Gloss black wrap on roof and mirrors.

Very happy with how it looks so far. Although, I think the 17" wheels could use an upgrade to atleast 18" or 19".

Borla S Type Catback installed by me.

19x8.5 et38 OZ Leggera HLTs with 235/35s
EMD Springs installed

Rides nice for just springs. Still have to be aware of the road a bit more of course, but overall quality ride for the drop.

Just got these installed.
Enkei TFR 17x8 et45
Vredestein Hypertrac A/S 235/50r17.
I had so much problems with potholes in my area, the stock 225/40r18 could not protect the wheels from bending when you hit a pothole. If i fix the wheels i end up hitting a pothole again and bend em. Cant go past 60mph cuz it vibrates the car so much.
So i decided to get the meatiest tire i can possibly fit in there. Was gonna do 225/50r17 but decided on the 235/50r17. And the ride is so glorious!!! Hopefully with the stronger Flow Formed wheels and more meat on the tire my wheels wont bend from potholes.

What rear trunk spoiler is that?

Recently just swapped for the RS grille and added a front lip. Wasn't sure about the front lip at first but it's started to grow on me. It's amazing the difference a grille swap makes, looks way more aggressive now!
