RS6 style 19" wheels on S3 2017

you have to click on the little + next to the tyre size 255/30/ZR19 to get the rear size to come up

nope they are coming off an rs3, i got the dimensions off this website...
https://www.wheel-size.com/size/audi/rs3/2015/

and the owner is delivering them to me on sunday and has confirmed the sizes i have mentioned are the sizes that are on his wheels....

As an RS3 owner and i'e had both 8p and 8v the ET you quote/on that site is incorrect

As above its ET53 on 8.5j and ET49 on 8j rims (8v RS3)

The wider wheel/tyre is 100% fitted on the front axel on the rs3. Designed to reduce understeer I believe

If I had to run a staggered set up, then yes I probably would. Not sure I'd choose to go down the staggered route though....

There may well be S3 owners out there who have ran this staggered set up with good results?? In which case, my opinion would count for nothing.

I'd worry about front wing clearance (especially if you plan to lower it) as I'm sure the wings are wider on the RS3....

It will look very similar to fitting a 10mm spacer to your current 18" wheel but will also be 15mm closer to the suspension strut.

thanks for that, i think i have an 8mm spacer on the front now, so wen i swap wheels i will do away with the spacer and hope it clears the strut i guess

thinking about it that should clear nicely, alot of people run 19x8.5 et45 so my et43 should be fine
