Hello all, I am looking for a new set of rims and also about to change tyres and I am a bit puzzled...
I have a (stock) Sportback RS3 8V FL 2019, Front: 8.5Jx19 ET53 (255/30 R19 91Y XL) / Rear: 8.0Jx19 ET49 (235/35 R19 91Y XL)
Almost all aftermarket rims I like, (example the HF-5 from Vossen or the CI-R from BBS), have offsets from 31 or less, to 45 the nearest with the RS3's factory defaults.
- For the front, the diameter is the same (8.5J) but there is 8mm of diff on the offset (53 vs 45). a) will this fit? (Any issues with the brakes?) b) do you believe it will be a lot out with risk to damage the rims?
- For the rear, the offset is only 4mm diff (49 vs 45) which sounds better, but its 8.0J while the market rims are 8.5J.. , will I have issues there, or it's still under the acceptable thresholds?
*Also, do you also know what is the 5x1xx this RS3 model Audi uses? i searched everywhere and it's not mentioned. (i only found that the brake discs are 5x112, so could be that this is also the same as offset for rims centers?)
I also have quick question for tyres, i know too many questions but they go together as setup
I plan to stay staggered and not play with square setup, but I would like to check if instead of 235 on the rear I go with 245. Anyone tried that on a Sportback? And if yes with which tyres? (Heard that Michelin for example is wider than Pirelli. so, a 235 Michelin PS4S will be like a 245 Pirelli PZero?) (I am with PZero now)
Thank you!
