S3Alex is that rule for lowered or standard suspenstion?
I dont want to make the mistake
I think it depends on what you want.
Mine is slightly lowered(and by that I mean about 2cms) but I would rather have handling any day than looks.
The car is a bit towards the far end of what most would do to a poor old S3 but that does make the handling important and I found the limits of that at a recent track day where the understeer was obvious.
If you don't need the most grip and you don't mind it crashing a bit over bumps then the 19s will look good and work OK.
If you want more power eventually I would think about 18s.
As with many times before....
18s for handling and 19s for show....choose carefully first before buying as I know a few who've bought 19s and then moved back.
RS3 has bigger fenders so can handle a 'proper' sized tyre.How come the RS3 comes standard with 19's? Just sayin.

Complete newbie question, why do the fenders make a difference? Just literally because of the size of the alloy?
