    Cool Vossen's 2015 Audi S8 Storyline...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi Everyone,

    I thought I would just share a general thread about the Vossen S8....it was purchased new last year and quickly became a favorite. I don't want to say it replaced the 2014 S550 but that car was sold.

    EDIT Current Mod List
    H&R ETS Lowering Module (overides Stock air suspension and can be controlled through factory controls)

    APR Stage 1 Tune Upgrade

    Pirelli P-Zero Tires 285/25/22 front and rear






    There isn't much for this car but it does currently have an APR tune by our friends at USP Motorsports which are a bit north of us. More pics and info to come!!!

    As a Lexus LS F-Sport owner myself I really love driving this car. It truly has a special feel for a car in this class.

    She's a bit dirty here, would like to swap out to some lower dust brake pads. For 2016 Audi has now given this car more upgrades including it now having 605hp (from 520hp) and the MSRP DID NOT CHANGE!o_O



    Iff I could wing it I would get the new Audi S8 Plus in a heartbeat. I've driven the 7 (yet to drive the new one though) and S 550/S63 pretty extensively and the S8 makes me tingle. It is the one. What makes it even that much cooler is compared to the S class (which seems to be just as abundant as the Camry in Miami, all in black, white, silver) the S8 is as rare as it gets. You have to know about this car to even know it exists.



    It simply it one of the greats.

    Those wheels look nice, but is there something wrong with the passenger side exhaust tips? They seem out of alignment, specifically the outside pipe looks like it is hanging low.

    What did you lower the car on? VAG, lowering module, or links?

    Also, what size 22" tires are you running?

    I was originally looking for an S6 but coming from a MBZ S65, I think the S8 is the way to go...

    That being said...
    Do you have and pics of anything that is multi-spoke, with a symmetrical ~ 1" lip front and rear... brushed satin lip with gloss black or dark grey center....

    looking to buy a D4 A8 L so I'll be following this closely. Tint and Wheels will be the first Mods I do and these pics have all been super helpful so far. sometimes it's very hard to picture a certain set of wheels on a car and the fact that you guys are modeling each set individually is a huge help!

    I did a close up on these tires and they say 295/25/22. Are you sure they're 285/30/22? Which model wheel has the 285/30/22?

    My wheel guy keeps telling me get 285/25/22 or 295/25/22 all around and that 285/30/22 will rub in front with a 30et 22x10.5.

    Hey which car did you see that on? The grey one I am pretty confident is 285/25/22 front and rear.

    Edit...just checked, and edited my first post....its a 25 series not a 30!

    30s will rub a little on a fast turn in if there's a dip... I heard if you take out the screw at the top of the front wheel well then you'll have no rubbing. I'm running 285/30/22 on all four corners.

    So are you running my those same 22x10.5 et30 specs on all corners with 285/30/22? You rub just a little but is it on that bolt or is it fender liner or both?

    I have VFS1 in 22x10.5. Don't remember the offset. But yes, very little rubbing and only at turns with dips while going with speed. I honestly don't know where it rubs because I can't see it. When I lifted the car I could not tell of rubbing anywhere. It was not until others who told me it was the screw in the lip of the front wheel well. It bothers me so little that I haven't addressed the issue yet, but I will once it is time to rotate the tires.
