Fitment questions

[Jrhoads]

I'm wanting to purchase new wheels/tires for my 18' S3. I'm wanting to get a concave wheel with a wider tire. The look I want is in the picture attached, also attached is a pic of my ride. Question being, what is the widest wheel/ tire size I can do without making any modifications. The vehicle has stock suspension. Please feel free to rep your ride with pics! Thanks in advance for any help!

255/35's are the largest I've seen but with a different offset. https://www.fitmentindustries.com/w...50/2015-audi-s3-rotiform-blq-stock-suspension
I've gone 245/35/19's on the stock offset but I think that's about as far as you can go with the stock rim offset.

Here's my thread when I wanted to go bigger https://www.audis3.org/threads/trying-new-size-255-35-19-will-they-fit.1615/#post-6621

I didn't want to swap rims and offset so I think you can get away with more if you're changing rims.

Awesome. Thank you for the quick response. Soo, may be a stupid question but do you think a 18x8.5 with +32 offset wheel with a 255/35 tire will be fine to slap on without any modifications?

No problem
It looks that way from the guy on fitmentindustries.com I don't know anyone personally that has done it. The tire/speed shop you go to should be able to test one before committing to a full set.

Also you could use a offset calculator to get a general idea of how the offset and tire size will affect the positioning https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ Nothing beats a professional evaluating the custom setup in person though.

You'll have to let us know how you make out and post some pictures. I'd love to see what size you wind up with.

 

[Jrhoads]

Most definitely, will do.

I was just looking at http://www.rotiform.com/ the other day if you scroll through all of their car pictures they have some wild looking audi's. Shame they don't have links to specs and sizes on the pictures.
