hi guys,

Currently have the 18 inch rotors on my s3 and I've seen some 19's for sale from an a5 will these be a straight swap or will I have to make a few adjustments?

Cheers guys
 
No they will not fit. What is the ET? width? Most likely won't fit anyway. Rotors from A4, A6, rs3 should fit
 
Sorry I might be missing something really obvious but I don't get what you mean by ET? the guy I have been speaking to wasn't sure if they would fit or not so thanks for confirming
 
ET is wheel offset and states how far is the center line of the wheel is away from the mounting face of the hub. My stock S3 wheel is ET54, which is 54mm. I bought TD Pro 1.2 which are ET45, which brought the center out by 10mm, plus the increased wheel width, 7.5 to 8".

Anyway, why would you want to go and spoil your car's handling by fitting massive wheels?
 
Thanks for clearing that up, I just like the look of the arches been filled a little more. Doesn't the rs3 have 19's on? Would it really make that much of a difference to the way it handles?

I have some RS3 8V ones currently on my RS3 8P that will be for sale shortly if that's any interest?
 
Any pics mate?

The RS3 8p or 8v wheels fit perfectly on the A3/S3 without the need for any spacers :)

They sit 10.4mm further out and 2.3mm further in than the standard 18" rotors (235/35 R19 ET50 vs 225/40 r18 ET54 wheels)

EDIT: forgot to add I had them on my A3 with -40mm springs and didn't get any rubbing

Yes they do look nice, they fill the arches that little bit more. Jay when you are ready to part with those wheels let me know If I'm in a position to buy I'll take them.
