Hello! Spring almost here in Sweden so I need some new tires for my 2010 Audi A3 Sportback S-Line.

Problem is I have no clue what size and dimensions to get to avoid rubbing.

I will want to lower the car later on with Eibach or H&R Springs but not sure how low.. S-line chassi already down 10-15mm right? whats the perfect mm to make it look not too slammed but more sporty? at the moment it looks like a ****** off road buggy.

235/35r19 is what I've been looking at with 19x8,5 rims ET35.

I want to avoid spacers as well.

Hey guys

Planning to go with a set of BBS SR in Himalaya gray color. wheel specs are 18" 8J wide ET45 on my S3 sportback. you think ill be fine with such wheel specs?
tire size in mind 235/40/18
PS not going with 19's due to very poor road conditions here.

Looking forward to hear back from you.
 
Oh forgot to mention I am currently running eibach pro-kit front lowering springs

Thanks mate. Do you ever consider running a bit wider tires?

I was thinking about going to 235, but on a 8" wheel the 225 is a bit more stretched what i like from an optical point of view. maybe you can go with a 235 continental tyre since they are more narrow than other manufacturers... otherwise you might have a problem with rubbing...

Hi I've looked through the whole thread but can't seem to find any pictures of an 8p with the s8 alloys that look alot like the s3 alloys. I'm looking to get a set in 19 inch if these are available in genuine form. Not really keen on reps as the roads are terrible around my way.

Many thanks

Wasn't sure where to put this but can't find any examples of an 8P on 18" BBS LM's, not keen on going down the 19" route but can't find anything to compare to.

Any help much appreciated!
 
Got another set of wheels on! Lol

Mine on Ispiri CSR1D 18x8,5 front and 19x9,5 rear ET42. Tires are 215/35/18 in front and 225/35/18 rear. KW V1 coilovers (little disappointed in the height but looking for a set of ultra low springs).

Anybody have pics of a 3-door 8p on these mk 1 audi TT rims (18's).

I assume they would be a straight fit ??

Thx
