Wheel fitment

[jsws3]

would this fitment 8Jx19" ET35 bore 57,1 or 66,6 alloy wheels fit my S3 8P

it'll be VERY VERY tight and you'll need to run a 215/35......

 

[jsws3]

do you think they would rub n8 when i put h&r springs on as well

 

[N8]

Hard to tell man!

My ET45 8.5J rims used to rub when lowering on Eibach's, so safe to say ET35 will rub.

 

[N8]

But did you run stretch Pete? My Helios when I had 10mm on the back were ET35 with a 215 and that rubbed, with no arch liner either! But thats a 8.5 and not an 8J. Hard to tell...

No, I'm too old for that stretch malarky I misread the original post, I thought he'd said 8.5J. With 8J I'm sure it'll help, would be surprised if it doesn't rub at all though.

Depends how low he's going! Good lad Pete.

might, just MIGHT get away with ET35 on a 8" wide wheel, best to trial fit really. I had 9" wide on ET41 and that did rub, but only sligthly.

It will rub for sure!!!! Especially when someone will be sitting at the back. You can slightly fix this buy grinding the screw that holds the rear bumper on the sides.

You had 225s, mine didn't rub with 215s Terry.

What if i dont lower it . the wheels are R8 V10 replica

 

[Lee_R]

You can get R8 V10's in the correct 45mm offset mate, dont buy the 35's! They definately sold them here

I just had a look and i cant see any R8 V10 replica wheels mate

 

[N8]

They do have them, JSWS3, as I've been in the shop and seen them! I know another place in Manchester that sells them as well.

http://www.mswuk.com/contact.html - The Manchester Branch has them, as I saw them when I picked my tyres up!

 

[jsws3]

I see them now thanks mate . what do you think they would look like on a S3

 

[N8]

Replicas! OEM = FTW

 

[jsws3]

What does FTW mean

 

[V6Pete]

What does FTW mean

For The Win.

It's what guys like N8 say when they're trying to be hip and cool
