RS3 and spacers

[klauster]

Has anyone fit these yet, does the stance need improving?

I will try and show you picture of the standard set up. Not my car but another rs3. Looks like it could go with a bit at the rear but lowering would improve the look if that is what you fancy.

Eventually I'll put spacers on the rear as the front with 235's on looks OK to me but first I'm going to see how having 235's ont he rear is going to look as I'm likely to be going Goodyear 235's all round once my ARB instal is done.

Stupid question but RS4 spacers fit an RS3?

+1 for the 235's on the rear.

When you see it in the flesh, the rear rim sits almost flush with the arch, the 225 width on the 8 inch rim makes the tread area of the tyre is much narrower than where the tyre meets the rim. 235's would probably cure the slightly odd appearance this gives.

235's on the front fill the arches perfectly IMO.

I also think ride height is spot on both in feel and look.

I was following dks today,and I would say you defo need spacers..just looked like an a3 tbh...a bloody quick a3 though.
The front looks stealth looking I must add...

I've bought 225s for the rear already, ill pop some spacers on

235's plus 10 mm spacers rubs on the rear

[klauster]

what about 225, and how much rubbing? Only when fully loaded up or all the time?

Rubs on say speedbump at 25-30 km/h alone in the car, no passengers
Dont know about 225 with spacer. Could be just ok
