Need help!

[Coletti]

Hello all, I have just bought some bbs ch for my s3 that are 18/8.5j et30, they currentely have a stretched 215/40 tyre on which fits the car no problems at all but I'm wondering what tyre I can put on when I need to change as I don't really want stretched tyres. Was thinking maybe a 245/35/zr18 but I'm unsure as to weather they will rub the arches at all :/, has anyone on here got the same size wheels fitted to a standard s3? If so what tyres are you running? Any replies will be greatly appreciated
cheers

I thought bbs ch originals where 8j?

 

[Coletti]

Just had a read up and apparently originals are 8.5j et30 and fakes are either 8 or 9j

 

[S3featesV9]

Oh yeah. I just did a little search too. I stand corrected

 

[S3Steve]

Yeah original CH's are defo 8.5x18 et30, and you really need 225/40/18 tyres mate

 

[Coletti]

Are the 225/40 stretched much when on?

 

[S3Steve]

No mate, fit perfectly
