Need advice on Alloys!

[grazal]

Just bought an A3 1.9TDI (110BHP) On 99 V Plate.

Has anyone got any experiance on the change in ride quality i.e. firmness, roll etc on the following sizes and tyre specs.

I have three options over the standard 15"s

17" RS4 Replicas with 215/45/17 Tyres

18" RS4 Replicas with 225/40/18 Tyres

19" RS4 Replicas with 235/35/ZR19 Tyres

I have been assured even the 19"s will easily go on with no mods needed, does anyone know otherwise? Has anyone had any probs with clearance or rubbing when the car is weighted down?

Cheers

Stick with 17"s is my advice.

19"s will ruin the ride and look far too Max Power. 18"s are OK I guess but 17"s on an A3 look about right.

Many will tell you to go large but it`s your choice.

wouldnt go to 19's, with only 110bhp you will be looking at 0-60 in about a year and a half /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_roll.gif Id stick with 17's, 18's at a max. Ive got 18's on my A3 1.8 turbo and ride is good and firm as ive dropped it 50mm. As already said, its your choice but on a car with lower power if it was me id stick to 17's
