wheel help

[joe19]

hi im getting an s3 and want to get some new wheels for it, iv found some 19" bbs rs866 speedline wheels they are 8.5 wide have an offet of et48 and are 5x112. That doesnt mean much to me but does anybody know if they will fit ok or will i need some sort of adaptors? also any ideas on what size tyres id need to get? the car isnt lowered. thanks

Hi Joe, you'll need to get hub adaptors firstly. 5x100 to 5x112, 25mm hub adaptor will be fine. This will bring your ET down to ET23 (48-25=23), as for tyre size depends if you want a stretched look or normal

Here's mine 235 35 19, 25mm hub adaptors. (the rears have extra spacers on mine though). You will want your car lowering once these wheels are on, it'll look a bit wrong if you don't lol
