I have also heard of removing this nut and think i will have to remove this when i get my 19's on. Has anyone got any picture of this?Is your car lowered??? Are you planning on lowering??
IMO, A3s on 19 without a decent amount of lowering look like moonbuggies.
But then you've got the potential issues with rubbing, which someone will come along and give you all the indepth avoidance details about shortly, because I haven't got a clue. Something about removing a nut from the wheel arch but that's about as far as my limited knowledge stretches.
it will only look bad if you dont lower it, have a quick look at the last page of the rims sticky, there is a black SB on 19's and it looks fantastic! just expect a tiny bit more bump and thump due to the decreased side wall height
with the bentleys as they are massive youll have to lol
if you look at the inside of your rear wheel arch, where the rear 3/4 panel meets the bumper, just on the inside you can see and feel a screw, thats the one you have to whip out, a 30 second job when your changing your wheels
Cheers fellasIf you look under your rear arch, you will see the screw, its easy to find
It's all about that extra inch!
19s will ruin the following:
ride comfort (massive reduction in tyre side wall size will have a big affect)
handling (bigger, heavier wheels stuck on the end of the suspension have a massive affect, and minor changes in contact patch centre line affects scrub radius, having a big affect on how well the spring/damper pushes the wheel into the road)
wallet (tyres are fooking expensive at the best of times, let alone 19" rubber bands)
your appearance to everyone else in the world (lets face it, big wheels has been done, and its surely not cool any more.)
