19inch rs3 alloys

[ds7090]

I have standard s3 alloys on my care and want to upgrade to RS3 19`s, I know these have a slightly lower profile ( 35 instead of 40 0 but was wondering if this would effect the speedo calibration with the bigger wheel ?

 

[Rob2k68]

The 235 tyre is 10mm larger diameter than the 225 tyre so it shouldn't effect the speedo that much - maybe 1mph at 60.

would putting these on effect my warranty ?

Also as these are et49 instead of et46, is this an issue ?

 

[Rob2k68]

Not sure about the warranty but try this to see the effect of a slightly different offset :-

thanks, these are original rs3 so shouldn't have issues

Some RS3s have the optional 255s on the front prob best to check they're not those.

Is yours a Sportback ?

Standard S3 alloys are 7.5 J wide, 19s are 8 J. May be worth having your wheel alignment checked with them fitted.

Might be wise to tell the insurance company.

If you were to have any car troubles put your old set of wheels back on before taking it to the garage.

Yeah as @RichardT says it's a wise move

Are you talking about rotors?
Would spoil the look IMO.

Can you not get the S3 wheels in 19"?

 

[ds7090]

yes silver rotors, not staggered

mines a 3 door,

I can get 19`s in s3 style but just don't like them, I prefer silver

 

[Forbzeeee]

I have the 19's that came with my 3dr expecting them to be the same as the saloons 19's but they are different to both the standard S3 18's and the standard S3 saloon 19's. Does anyone know what size/offset these are?

Ye can get brand new 19" wing arm alloys the optional one's for the S3 with brand new contis on them for £1869

Also the Oem grey 19" rotors for the same price this includes P zeros but are 255/30/19 at the front

 

[Rob2k68]

All factory Audi S3/RS3 19s are 8J wide and ET49 offset the exception may be the RS3 option with the 255 tyres.

Wing arms are ET49 ....

 

[Rob2k68]

For comparison standard S3 18s are 7.5J ET51.

heres mine on 19s

Very Nice !!!

Is that mag ride or not ? Std or lowered ?

 

[lenny151]

Thanks mate

Its standard without mag ride.

 

[Rob2k68]

Thought so mate ride height looks good - mag ride looks like it's on stilts so would have suspected non OEM springs.
