and on the front? i'm not worried for the rear.

 

[N8]

I'm glad you like/dislike. They are just OEM colour Mart, I'm not changing the colour. I'd love the 9s off the RS5 to go on the rear, but 9J + ET27 + A3 8P isn't going to happen! They were just put on as a customer has my TDs at the moment, they'll be going on in May before Worthersee

Nope, so so sooo slightlyyy when it bounces while turning..

 

[iamwhatiammomo]

N8 are there no speed humps where you live? thats some serious drop :O

 

[N8]

It's on air ride dude! Speed bumps are no issue. But that's the joy of running 20"s anyway, you can run lower but usually okay anyway as you will have more ground clearance underneath!

[Paul_S3]

Pics from the BBS CH ET-44 8,5Jx18. Fits easily while is was a bit concerned if it would rub. not al all. I changed these wth my original S3 wheels which I a was rnning for the winter, so this is the new winter setup.

 

[N8]

[MartayMcFly]

wheels in the bedroom. i LIKE your style

I'll get some poor phone pics up in a sec, but the garage is cold and dirty, and my bedroom is right beside the door! They were just there this morning waiting for the tyres (also pictured in my bedroom).

Here we go

Before:

Offroad style

After:

No spacers on, just 8.5" ET48 all round. Once I get the caliper carriers they'll be getting stepped out at the front (8-10mm), so going to be close clearing the arch but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No rubbing at the back with 225/35s and the 4 standard wheels in the boot so happy there too.

And I know, they need cleaned (still have the tyres grease stuff on). Going to get the old wheels nice and shiny for storage, and give these a wipe in a while. Away tomorrow though, so not going to give the whole car a clean until I'm back.

 

[RicoS3]

Superb Martin. The silver outer pics up the mirrors and breaks the black. Likey a lot.

2009 Audi S8 For Sale in Cary, North Carolina - WAUPN94E19N005473 - (a27969)

Are these a 19" version of the facelift S3 wheels? I guess S8 offset wouldn't work on an 8P anyway, and might even be wrong bore? Would be good to see how these look on a A/S3, the pre-facelift versions (also from S8s) look a lot bigger than just an extra inch over the standard S3 wheels.

 

[N8]

They are 20" on the S8:

20 x 9 ET46 iirc that TT is wearing 235/30s

 

[MartayMcFly]

Hubba hubba, not keen on going up to 20s though. Maybe that's why they look so big.

 

[N8]

I can't remember if they do that style in a 19" or not, I'll check on ETKA tomorrow and find out on your carriers!

 

[tcardio]

My new alloys. Off the new A6 20x8.5 ET45 wearing 225/30/20s

needs more low !

Just when I think "no way it can be done" N8 knocks it out of the park. Nothing else to say but jaw DROP
