19's on S3

[ton246]

Anybody fitted 19's on their S3 ? Do they go on without any clearance,handling problems ?

You wanna get a 19x8 or 19x8.5 rim with an ET of 42 or higher and you'll be fine. Go with 215/35/19 or 225/35/19 Falkens from www.camskill.co.uk and you're laughing!

i have 19x8 et50 BBS CHs with 235/35/19 tyres. i'm also lowered 25mm

no rubbing, you feel bumps in road a little more but no negative effect on handling. I actually prefer how it handles with the slightly wider track and tyres and it looks so much better

You'll be fine with 19"s - as per S3-N I'm lowered with no issues on 235 tyres

Yeah I heard that wheelbase are doing a set of 19's with one of these for the driver as a freebie:

Wait for it, N8 & his coilovers rant to follow, lmao

i was expecting 19"s to be much worse than they are, they're really not that bad

Gggggggggggorgoussssssssssss

Get black optics and black mirrors saf.

 

[Tommy]

You dont have to lower it much on 19's to lose the gap between the arch and the top of the tyre, im very suprised!

30mm looks fantastic

 

[S3 SAF]

Get black optics and black mirrors saf.

optics sitting in my garage and side mirrors gonna get soon too mate.

 

[Tommy]

What is the lowest you could go down on 19's?

I know it depends what et and what not but just the general idea?

Sorry to hijack a thread, i ideally want no gap between the tyres..

 

[phil76]

BEAUTIFUL !! looking cars people cant wait to get mine now even though not S3 just 2.0ltr quattro,sorry for jumping thread but have no ideas on mods for these what are the mirrors everyone speaks of they are going to put on?
