Nij, thanks for the pics - car looks great - do you get any rubbing or clearance issues at all?? Does it rub when you are on a fast run on bumpy roads under compression etc??nij wrote:I went for the 9Jx20 ET38 winter option with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. 265/35/20 94Y Continetal Sport Contact 3

Re: RS6 wheels?
I don't want to start messing round with spacers, think I'll just refurb my OE 19's 

Current - 2017 Nardo RS5

Whats the reason for that thought if you do it properly with decent spacer kit (hubcentric) there will be no issuesgilford wrote:I don't want to start messing round with spacers, think I'll just refurb my OE 19's

I'm just not keen on the idea for some reason, I'm sure they are fine, but I would always be thinking what if..........AKA-K3 wrote:Whats the reason for that thought if you do it properly with decent spacer kit (hubcentric) there will be no issuesgilford wrote:I don't want to start messing round with spacers, think I'll just refurb my OE 19's

Correction, I’ve got 265/30/20 94Y tyresHoopsRS4 wrote:Nij, thanks for the pics - car looks great - do you get any rubbing or clearance issues at all??

Yes and no. I had other things done to my car since putting the RS6 wheels on.
I went for the 9Jx20 instead of 9.5Jx20 because the tyres sit better on the rims and I took a chance on 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers (its equivalent to 6mm and 11mm on the OE wheels). Also, I chose 265/30/20 instead of 255/30/20 was because all the 255’s I’ve found was 92Y load rating (which I thought was a bit too low compare with the OE’s 96Y) and to correct the under read speedo.
At first I didn’t have any problem until one night where I had 4 big lads and a full boot in the car. The rears were catching when going round corners. This only happen once as I don’t usually carry passengers, so I left it as it is.
Then I had lower H&R springs put on the front and wheel alignment done. This has cause rubbing on the nearside front during corners even with only me in the car. I later found that the tyre was catching on a fixing inside the wheel arch (12 o’clock position), so I simply took them fixing off. I now don’t have any issues.

Is there only one fitment option for the H&R springs? If not can you tell me which ones you went for so i can look into ordering the same?

Re: RS6 wheels?
I think there's only one option, but you can order just the front springs or a full set. If you just want the fronts then it'll take longer as nobody stock them in the UK. I brought mine from Revolution.HoopsRS4 wrote: Thank you for the info Nij.
