I've never really liked the the standard wheels on my RS3 (staggered black/polished alloys) so I've just bought a set of 4 used Neuspeed RSe102 ET45 8.5 x 19 alloys and also about to lower the RS3 on springs.

I am unsure what tyre size to go for as I am switching from a staggered to square setup and running 19x8.5 all round. I have seen a few threads but still not sure what to go for as I don't want any tyre rub or fouling the arches.

Currently running P-Zeros and these have been ok, so not really fussed whether it is Michelin or Pirelli I end up with.

Suggested setups I've seen so far:
  • Michelin PSS4 - 235/35/19
  • Pirelli P-Zero - 245/30/19
Any recommendations or guidance welcome. Thanks.
 
In the end I played safe and went with P-Zeros in original 255/235 staggered sizes. Perfect height on H&R springs and no rubbing issues. (just need to wash the car now!)
