8x19" wheels on A3?

[Stanley]

Ive been offered a set of RS6 wheels with fitment as follows:

8x19
5x112
ET45
235/35/19 tyres

I have coilovers so ride hight shouldnt be an issue as i can raise/lower as i see fit.

My main concern is the offset once i get some PCD adapters?

The thinnest i can get a set of adapters is 15mm, making an offset of 30.

Anyone tried this before?

Please no comments on ride quality. Ive been down this road before on different cars and lived with it.

As usual, sexual relief for sensible answers.

On an AJ rim, you want 215s really, or 225s, certainly not 235s.

I expect i will experience bad scrubbage then?

Nah you should be ok, the 8L has huge arches, just no need for HUGE tyres.

Grand!

I'll be having those then!

Two tyres a getting near the markers so ill swap them for 215's when theyre due.

Cheers

You lowering the car @ all? Having narrower tyres will give you more clearance

As I said, I have coilovers so will be keeping the car as low as I can get away with.
