- I am interested in buying a set of XXR wheels but they come in 9.75J, 8.75J and 8.25J (weird width dimension). Of course, the concavity of the wheels is different by its width. So would 9.75J with ET20 will fit? (eventually stretched tyres)

XXR 527, 9.75J on front wheels?

I think @JoeeS3 has 9.5J ET23 Rota Grid Drifts on the front with 7mm spacers? He had to space the wheels out for wheel arch clearance. He's also got 225/40/18 tyres stretched over them which will help
You'd have to do the same assuming all else is the same; i guess it'll depend on if/or how much its lowered.
What tyres are you planning on fitting to them? I cant imagine 225s on a 9.75" rim will be the best idea in the world? 225s came as standard on a 7.5J rim and a 9.75J rim is some 57mm wider... you going to stick with 225?
I have 225 on an 8.5J rim and am considering to move to 235 when all 4 tyres need changing

Hi,
I've got 215's: on 9.5 on the front, I'd say the max tyre you could get with the right spacing is 225 for the fronts, then you could always have 245's on the rear providing the rolling radius' are the same on both front and back (if your car has haldex)

oh wow, that's some serious stretch then. Is that for cosmetics or was that also to reduce wheel arch rubbage?
Well, I was thinking to fit 235\40\18 in front and 255\35\18 in back.
I just found this thread with a S3 and XXR 527 but the specs of the setup are not mentioned

XXR527 18" 9.75J ET20 with 225/40/18 tyres on
Haha indeed it is, the tyres were already on there when I bought the wheels, they've been okay for cornering although, I'll be getting thinner wheels on the fronts next time.
I couldn't say to be honest, but it wouldn't surprise me if you got some rubbing on the outside front whilst cornering
I don't want to go too hard, I want to fit some Eibach ProKit\H&R springs and Koni Str. T Orange shock absorbers. And no spacers, I guess the ET is low enough for not needing spacers. Or not?!
Down here is the MK4 in my town that made me change my mind about Rota Grid Drift) I guess he's 9.75 also.

Hi everyone , can someone tell me if the rear fenders of an S3 are the same as A3 fenders?
Thanks

You mean the bumper or arches? not that it matters as the A3 and S3 are different
<tuffty/>
I mean the fenders , if they are wider than the A3 , , I'm interested in this because I want to make my A3 to look as much as possible as an S3 .The front fenders are clearly much wider but the rear ones are they?
I'm looking at the same wheels but not in gold would spaces be need for these? And would they fit over 18z Calipers with that offset
Wheels sizes baffle me
