On the road I struggle to believe the majority of it will tell any difference, I've driven both even if 3 months apart and there is nothing striking.
The biggest advantage to the 255 front's is the way they look, really cool if running Pirelli's. But also Audi want £295 a tyre, I got 2 online for £345 delivered.
If you want it for the driving experience, I'd give it a miss unless you are a manic track expert haha.
I think the majority will back me up... It has to make a difference, but one you'd tell even remotely adhering to the law.. nope.
Haha exactly I wanted to say this.. So he has rs3 and he fitted 19s???
Those are for a3 or s3.. Rs3 should take 20" exactly
I agree, I have driven both. Couldn’t tell difference between Mag Ride and standard in normal driving but when pushed Mag feels good. As for tyres I bought x2 235 19 P Zero A0 in France last month for £220 . Getting a couple more next week!! ****** Brexit is screwing import costs.

Because imported products are 25% + more expensive now due to the £ being at a low of 1.11 rather than 1.40 in 2015.....and that's before WTO terms.Why keep mentioning about B****t in every post...........

I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm sure the few years prior to Brexit, the average FX rate against the euro was 1.20. So not a huge difference. And when Italy goes bump, expect that trend to reverse.Because imported products are 25% + more expensive now due to the £ being at a low of 1.11 rather than 1.40 in 2015.....and that's before WTO terms.

Currently running staggered setup with pirelli’s. Front tires are shot and want to go for a square setup on Michelin ps4s 245/35/19 or 235/35/19.
Stock rims, tires size.
front: 19” 8,5j ET53, tires, 255/30/19
Back: 19” 8j ET49, tires 235/35/19
So i’m asking if I go with the square setup on stock staggered rims, what size recommended and are people going for.
I read somewhere that the Michelins are wider compared to other tire brands.
Many in Australia run 245/35 on The staggered rims, works well. They do run wider, will probably be a tad bigger than your pirelli 255s.
I have the standard 235's all round on standard 19" wheels. Can I just fit the wider 255 tyres at the front or will I need different (wider) front wheels too?

I was under the impression that rims for 255 were wider, fitting to same size rim as 235 seems odd!! Will probably compromise your Insurance too!!Recently switched to 255 (from 235) on the front and I am very happy. There is a significant improvement when pushing the car around corners in the dry. I stayed with the 35 profile which meant switching to 18" wheels. The OEM staggered setup goes to a 30 profile tyre.
It is a mystery to me why a driver cannot notice a change when driving the staggered setup instead of the square. Perhaps drivers are getting caught up in the change of profile between OEM staggered and square and missing the benefit (better performance in corners) of the staggered setup.
fitting and balance for 2 is £30 all in so £230. Pre Pandemic I regularly return from France with room in car so easy really and typical save £75 . At an exchange rate of €1.40 there would be even bigger savings £190 for 2 fitted .Is there any point? How much is fitting? Paid 295 for 2 rears fitted and also got £20 worth of love 2 vouchers.
The Euro U.K. £ exchange rate in 2015 was €1.40. Currently €1.10 . It does indeed vary. In 2009 it was 1.16 but generally on the up until Cameroon announced a Referendum under pressure from the hard right. Facts not spin as always.I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm sure the few years prior to Brexit, the average FX rate against the euro was 1.20. So not a huge difference.

That’s why I used the average rate since the creation of the euro.The Euro U.K. £ exchange rate in 2015 was €1.40. Currently €1.10 . It does indeed vary. In 2009 it was 1.16 but generally on the up until Cameroon announced a Referendum under pressure from the hard right. Facts not spin as always.

Pressure from the hard right for a referendum? Well, turns out he was right to call one, because LEAVE WON!
Yes, you are correct. Since I changed to 18" wheels (OEMs were 19s) I had to purchase new aftermarket wheels. For the front I got 8.5 inch wheels (for the 255 tyres) and 8 inch wheels for the rear (for the 235 tyres).I was under the impression that rims for 255 were wider, fitting to same size rim as 235 seems odd!!

Leave cheated says High court judge. Fact. It also seems like we’re not properly leaving now anyway.That’s why I used the average rate since the creation of the euro.

Thanks @steve111b, I generally try to be correct in my analysis!Yes, you are correct. Since I changed to 18" wheels (OEMs were 19s) I had to purchase new aftermarket wheels. For the front I got 8.5 inch wheels (for the 255 tyres) and 8 inch wheels for the rear (for the 235 tyres).
Hi guys
I want to ask is it ok to run 245 35 19 on front and 235 35 19 on rear ?
What do you mean?
I realised after I had no idea that 245 will be higher.. Thought it will be just 10mm wider.. I supposed to get 245 30 19 right ? Becuse I have 235 35 rears255/30/19 vs 235/35/19
245/35/19 vs 235/35/19

Yeah but you don't use this calculation based on existing ... becuse existing varies.. on a3 you can go from 200 to 255 on front and 200 to 235 on rear..
but since everyone says quattro audi needs all 4 wheels the same why rs3 has 255 front and 235 back? it is still based on a3 chassis all same..
Because it is a special 255 that has very similar height to the 235 on the rear.I realised after I had no idea that 245 will be higher.. Thought it will be just 10mm wider.. I supposed to get 245 30 19 right ? Becuse I have 235 35 rears

Look here please I managed to put 245 35 R19 on the backYou need to be close to the OEM 255 or 235 specs hence the pictures above to guide you.
