Wheel Fitment

[Cowen99]

Looking for some advice on alloy size, width, tyres etc...

I have an Audi A3 8p sportback Quattro which is lowered 30mm. I want to put 19s on it but what width like 8.5 and what offset can I put on?

hahaha loaded question as most will say you can put anything you want on as long as you make changes like camber, fender rolling and such. My sweet spot is 225/35/19 on 19x8 ET 45. ET change be changed with hub centric spacers

I’m looking at rotiforma which are 19x8.5 et 45, would I need spacers?

You shouldn't need spacers for those wheel sizes but you may need 225 tyres instead of the recommended 235 to prevent rubbing on the arch, 225 on an 8.5 rim will give a bit of a stretch look

Thanks, so 225/35/19 sound good?

 

[T8DPR]

Yep. If you get the opportunity, trial fit them just to be sure, you may well catch on rear arch screws but at 30mm you may be just fine

I’ve just fitted 19x9j off a A5, fitted 225 35 19 and lowered 25mm and it only catches on rear screws on some corners or if I floor it (stage 2+ S3).

You can fit ET42 easily with 225 tires.
