New Rims fitted today...

[W2 NCC]

Had me new tyres & rims fitted today, they won't be on for long as they are for summer use but just checking they fitted all ok.

Veemann VC7 alloys, ET38 9.5J 19" booted with 255 35 19 Avon ZZ5 Tyres.

I've had to put 15mm spacers on the rears to make them fill the arch better & I think I need to order some H&R springs but i'm going to wait a few days for the suspension to settle down after having the wheels fitted today.

Car is on standard S line suspension set up so can anyone suggest what springs I need so it sits similar to the black model in the pics??

They look sweet, aren't they 20s on the black one?

Thats what i thought originally.
I emailed the company prior to purchasing mine & they said they were 19's.
Maybe because they're on a black car they stand out more than on mine where they don't stand out as much.

must be the colour and drop...

Likely need the -35mm 'Sport' versions to get that drop. It could be on coilovers tho

Do you know how much lower than standard the drop is on an sline?
Am i right in thinking 20-25mm?
If so then it would be 15mm lower with the 35mm sport springs?

Just dont want to go too low as ill not get in my drive lol

Depends what suspension your S-Line has got? 1BE or 1BV?

I've checked tonight & it says 1BE mate.

Ok mate, you have the 'Sport' suspension which is approx 20mm lower than the bog standard model A5 in which case yeah the -35mm H&Rs will lower yours by 15mm. Ride will be quite firm i understand

Well I've ordered the 35mm drop springs now so guess I'll find out soon enough.
Cheers for your help mate....
