Hey mate,
I'm on 255/30 all round on aftermarket wheels. 19x9.5"
Current - 2018 RS3 Sedan
Past - 2016 RS3 SB
Or go 245 michelins, they would be a better choice than 255 pzeros for sure.Those 2 above would never fit the sport back,
My Michelin on front is rubbing on hardlock (255) but the Pirelli doesn’t so need to stick to the Pirelli’s

Haha true, the 245 michelins are pretty similar size to 255 pzero so you should be fine. I think once u have all 4 michelins on you will see how good they are!You think? But then If I tried them and they still rubbed I’d be stuck with 2 useless tyres. At least I know P-zeros don’t rub
I'd probably gor for 245 up front and 235 rear. But be best to check if they 100% will fit first.Ahhh very good to know lads. Not sure if I should try the 245 Michelin’s or Play it safe and get the 235 Michelin’s

How much do you want for them?No doubt in my mind now. 235’s on the FL SB. I’m running HRE 8.5’s, ET47 with 3mm spacers on the front & the 255 MPS4’s just stuck out too far for my liking. I now have four, new 255’s for sale as I know I’ll never use them. I should have listened to @Kristijan on his Revo thread.

What you got?! (Not for me, but someone I know who has one...)Sorry, already gone. Jesus, things move fast around here. Anyone want to by some RS Focus bits?

Not anything of interest as very few will be breaking bits of them yet. I’ve got a gearbox with 480 miles on it. Don’t ask.
OEM turbo back exhaust, front diff and a few small bits.
If it's rubbing it's probably on the arch liner screw on the front. If you take that out and trim the plastic tab it shouldn't rub. Mine doesn't rub at all on the front but my wheels are ET37 and i think yours are ET35 aren't they with the spacers?
With one of my previous cars I used a hairdryer to bend and adjust the plastic trim for more clearance. They are generally a flexible piece of plastic with space behind. The other option is to redrill the one of two of the mounting holes on the trim so you can reposition it a little.Yeah you can see exactly where it is rubbing, like. It’s the inner plastic trim. So can’t exactly take that out or would be left with a big gap
And yes I’m ET35

BC forged 19x9.5 with 255/30 ps4s tyres all round.Great! What wheels are you running?
I do still wonder how well the Haldex system copes with the staggered setup. There is a 2% difference in rolling diameter between the 235 & 255’s. ( calculator here https://tiresize.com/comparison/). Also The fronts will wear quicker so the difference will increase a little over time.
I know its not much of a difference but the traction control / haldex still has to compensate.
For tyres to be same rolling diameter in staggered setup yiu would need 275/35 up front!! Ideally I’d like 275s all around.

I had the ps4s on my pfl as well. No issues at all.Thanks, how did it affect the handling? Any issues with traction control interference?
