New shoes

[bigrich690]

So to start things off I had a puncture over the weekend on my NS rear tyre, was the best tyre on the car too I may add, too close the the wall to repair too so that's a scrapper! So the spare wheel came out and went on

Guess what! The front OS has gone too this after noon, so I said sod it! This gives me an excuse to get these bad boys sorted!!!!

As you may have seen on various A4s on here they are 3SDMs, just had the back tyres but on earlier and getting the fronts done tomorrow, these rears are 9.5" wide with 225/40 tyres on and boy do they look stretched in the flesh, just got the odd picture I took earlier.......

Hope you like em, I know I do and can't wait to get the fronts on too, she's gonna look sweet for the Custom Modified Car Show on sunday

What tyres did you go for pal ?

 

[bigrich690]

225/40s pal, unsure what pressure I should have though, anyone got any ideas?

I love these wheels, but they look too small to pull off that amount of drop IMO

It's just my opnion...

I just think the radius of the arch should closely share the same centre of the wheel, if that makes sense?

Love the wheels though, keep looking at these myself.

18's or 19's? Looks nice 'n' low

Edit: Guessing 18's if it's 40/225? Look too big for 18's though.

 

[bigrich690]

Yea they're 18s pal, just fitted the fronts now, pics to follow.........

Liking the grille too, OT but did you make it yourself or have any links, never seen an s-line one without a plate holder and RS4 costs crazy cash.

 

[bigrich690]

RS6 grill pal, more money and alot of work to make and fit but it's clearly possible if you've got the balls to do it!!!

Richardesty was the first person I know to have done it and he pointed me in the right direction, after I did it I then saw it done on an A3 at AITP 2 years ago, and again this year at Elsecar on a black A4 with purple trim on air!!!!!

I think an RS5 grill would also work, but would be more flush and flat to the body whilst the RS6 bulges out and is in gloss black as standard.

0.01 and 0.06's look epic on all a4's IMO 18's on such a big car though look a tad too small. I made the mistake of not getting 19's :/

 

[bigrich690]

I do agree that 19s would probably look better but couldn't afford them, but I still love them
