what wheels are you running?

I'm looking to have this setup 8.5x19 ET45...do u have any pics of looking along the side of the car and looking down on the arches to see if the tyres poke out?
Hi mate,
Mine is also lowered on H&R springs -20mm and no issues at all, there's plenty room ......

little bit off topic...

why are there some S3 with different front bumpers? US version vs European version?

As example Simon L has one type of front bumper and a J6YAK has the "normal" bumper.

Simons car is a saloon and J6YAK has a Sportback.

Had Rota Grids for a while, but thought they looked a bit too out of place on a fairly subtle car, so have gone for something a little more OEM looking...

225/35/19, but if I'm honest - I'll be choosing 235s next time, as these offer absolutely zero protection, they arent far off being streched like those you see on lowered Polo's with stickerbomb wings lol.

It's drop is from Bilstein B16 Coilovers, which are on the middle height setting. No rubbing at all, in fact they are so good I think I could perhaps go a fraction lower without rubbing issues, but it's about as low as I want to go.

I went for the 235/35/19 exactly for that reason
 
Guys that are running the 235/35/19 what tyre pressures u running with front and rear??
 
I run mine a little lower than recommended at 39 front and 36 rear.

Same here but I think that's recommended for three people in the car. 41/39 ish for 5. I'll post a pic of my label.
