Wheel upgrade 2014+ S3 Sportback

swlabhot · May 24, 2017

I'm thinking of upgrading from the standard 18" with the RS6 diamond cut 5 spoke wheels.

Would the following fit under a completely standard car without any spacers or modification?

Size = 19"
Width = 8.5"
Offset: 35
PCD = 5x112
Tyres = 235 35 19

Apparently they are a direct fit for A4 and up the range but what about the S3?

AL_B · May 24, 2017

I'm no expert on this, but ET35 looks like quite a low offset and may well push the rim of the wheel out too far. I'm sure one of the more knowledgeable guys on here will correct me and advise you.

I was looking at wheels too (from LDPrestige) and was concerned as to whether ET45 might be too low an offset and when combined with 235/35 tyres, whether tyres might rub the arches - especially if I lower the car 20-30mm with springs. So I'd like to know if ET45 is ok too.

re the standard s3 alloys are et45?

Standard 18" offset I think is 50

Can somebody chime in on what's the lowest offset that u can run on 8.5x19" 235 35/19 without ANY issues on standard suspension

Rob2k68 · May 24, 2017

Standard 18" offset is 51, with 19" its 49.

Lowest I'd go with 8.5" rim width would be ET 45.

Suspension and wheel travel may allow more but for looks and the right amount of poke 45 looks about right.

BTW I have a set of these for sale OEM 19s, forgive the shameless plug ....

Rob where are you based? ****** love the look of these, and I'm guessing they're straight swap for the 18s?

Rugby mate. Yes they go straight on ;o)

jungle650 · May 24, 2017

Can vouch for a straight swap between S3 OEM 18's and S3 OEM 19's.

Dan_G · May 24, 2017

I thought, given how the spec was when the FL S3 was launched - 19" only available with adjustable dampers - that there were issues with clearance for 19" wheels on standard suspension S3's?

I'd love to upgrade to the RS4 type wheels - think they look fantastic.

That said, the ride is pretty damn firm as it is... (looking at changing to SQ5 after the summer).

YESSS! I absolutely love the look of these wheels! Is this on stock suspension? ANY rubbing or issues at all? I'm assuming these are 19"?

Do you know how much each wheel weigh in at? Compared to the standard 18"?

Do you have a side shot of the entire car?

And finally how much is a set and where can I get them?

ET47? When I was looking at these wheels on their website it said ET45. Did you request ET47?

Thanks

Rayner_1704 · May 25, 2017

I've got a set of the same on best wheel IMO flow forged aluminium and only 9.7Kg a piece - having a bit of a sort out so selling my 5 spares but probably keep my 10 spoke titanium's for winter.

Isn't your car an RS3? It might make a difference as to what is presented. Not Sure. But when specifying an S3 8V, the Gunmetal polished rim shows this, ET45.

Schizophonic · May 26, 2017

Mines 19x 8.5et offset 45. And mines slammed. Running 235/45 fronts and 225/45 on the rear.

Front rubs with passenger but just me it's fine. Rears no rub.

They are same wheel but they must have no ET47 stock in Poli Anthracite.......However i cannot see how ET45 wouldn't work the difference is tiny

PFL saloon S3 had mag ride and 19s as standard spec.

I can't decide which colour: gunmetal finish (like standard S3 wheels) or black, would suit a Daytona car more.

At those prices you could have a set of each

That wheel does look top quality. Very tempting, but thinking of sorting out the suspension first.

Boydie · May 27, 2017

Waiting to put my 19" S3 cab wheels on my S3 hatch, just have to get a couple warranty issues sorted with Audi first then the car is getting lowered, spaced and wheels on!! Cant wait!
