I always say lower first !
 
Slam it first.

Ha ha Umodz you just cant catch a break with these coilies eh? id straight have them if they'd fit and I had the cash. would love a set!
 
Yeah... I thought they would have gone by now, especially since I only want £350 for them! :)

I found this on Audizine...

Quattro & FWD use the same suspension, b6/b7 are interchangeable, 1.8,2.0 and the v6 should work as well, v6 has different spring rates based on engine.

s4 and a4 are interchangeable, only difference is the front spring rates, based on the s4's heavier engine.

Looking at them, I really don't see why they wouldn't fit. The only difference is that the Quattro needs a bit more clearance.

When my AirLift B6/B7 struts were fitted (they're designed to fit all models), they had to notch the rear strut a fraction to clear the Quattro, so the other way round should work with no problems.

Sorry to hijack the thread!
 
Well that sorts that, im moving into a new house in 6 weeks and if i spent £350 i'd be in trouble even if i had it to spare ha ha, women. they just dont understand do they?
 
i was gonna have them
but i checked with a good few places and the answer to me was fwd and quat did not fit eachother
pity cos iv had to shell out near enough a grand on some
 
Im currently working a RAF Leuchars in Scotland and there is a black sline B7 Saloon in the town on them rims and its slammed. It looks like a drawing. (Fantastic!). It must scrub though as it looks tight in the arches front and rear.

Well in mate.. there a nice colour.:)
 
hey guys,

there just sat in the garage at the moment, had to wait till pay day which is 2mo, so ive got thurs and friday off work to get some tyres sorted out! will get pics and that up soon enough :)
 
im going for 235/35/19 not fealing the stretch tbh, will this still be ok?
 
Could be tight on the arches if you lower it. there streched on the one i've seen while working away.:)
 
I know yeah, but somethings parting me from the stretch idea, my bro had stretch on his lupo and took the tyres off as he said made it handle dodgey, but obvs the look was great!
 
I appreciate they look awsome but I personally would avoid wheels were you have to stretch tyres on. I know were your coming from. But the wider wheel the limited space. Good luck with it all. Im sure it will look awesome when its done mate:)
 
audi upgrades
cheers mate, well im going for 235's i rekon and there will of cause be pictures uploaded as soon as there done!
 
Stretched tyres can play havoc with handling, but having big rims with normal tyres doesn't mean you're gonna have rubbing issues. If you were serious about handling, then Eibach uprated anti-roll bars would stop the back end 'wallowing' about so with coilovers fitted, the ride would be firm, but you wouldn't get rubbing unless you slammed it (which in most cars wrecks the handling too).

Awesome rims... I was looking for a set of these, but think they're a little out of my price range right now - must get myself a new job and get saving :)
 
100% I wouldnt go for a 235's, I went for 225's to ensure I had no rubbing issues. Guess it depends how low u want. They look good & had no problems with the stretch.

Good luck tho buddy!
 
100% wouldnt go 235? How cum mate?

Do u have any pics of your set up

oh yeh i get you mate, thanks

seeing this makes me undecided and confused coz the look is mint!

how does tyre pressures come into the equasion pal? normal or do u have to over pump them?
 
Are the rims Tyrell has; and the ones you've got the same width?

And also 'daily' means different things to different people. The roads round here, mixed with my driving means stretched tyres wouldn't be suitable for me, although they do look awesome. I would never risk stretched rims on a track day though - I've seen the outcome of that!
 
i was thinking of bentley alloys but was put off with the stretch look and i do tend the drive the car hard was the point of having 220 horse n not using it lol and the handling issues put me off slighty too going for a BBS CHR's in black now cant wait to get the funds sorted n get them on the car asap
 
got them on
