I am looking to replace my 255 35 R19 tyres on my stock RS6 19" rims, but would like to increase the width. Presumably some of you are running different wheels with the 275 width, but what profile are they? I'd rather run a bigger diameter than smaller!

Will the 275/35/R19 PS2s fit the 19x9" RS6 wheels and clear all the suspension and steering bits?

Grant , i run 275/30/19 's on my mtm's but they are 9.5 in's with a bigger off set . I think the 275's would be to wide on a 9 in rim. You could try a 265 /35 /19.

I had a similar query with tyre size on a RS6 C5 and on a set of 9.5 MTM Rims the recommend tyre size was 275/30/19 but on getting an "APP" for that a 285/30/19 was half of the 275's deviation in Spec from the 255/35/19.

I that helps.

I'm sure he's been on the edge of his seat for the last 6 years waiting for that answer. :)

I ran 275/30 R19 on standard rims and it was fine - just have to remove Ol' Knobbly

He only sold the car cause he didn't get a decent reply.
