will 10"x18" wheel fit on the back of an S3??

[leecs3]

Thinking about fitting a set of porsche replica wheels, Offset is very high so spacers are no problem. But car the car physically take a 10" wide rim??

My friend has 9,5" rims in back and there is much space with those. So i don´t think that there are any problems with 10".

thanks

Why would you do that?
You'll kill the limited handling it has...

Just get 2 pairs of 8" rims with the adaptors.

10" would look good but will add more understeer

I think 255 section tyres is optimum on an 9.5" wide rim, maybe 265 for 10"?

Im running 10x17 on the back of mine.

Think the tyre profile is 215/45

Yes it doesnt handle great but its all about the streeeeetch lol!

that is a stretch, i'm running 225/35/17s on my corrado's 9.5x17's

trial fitted a 10x18 wheel with a 265/35/18 tyre. No problem's at allPics below.

That looks mad with the 10" wide wheel.

man, they look way too big. 8's with spacers has to be the way to go.

if ya tight. 10x18 with a 255/30/18 is the perfect wheel size for an S3 rear arch.

Dont like that at all especially the first pic, looks well weird... nice rims tho!
