Hi guys after toying with a few ideas i have decided on the following and i'm hoping i can get some advice What do you think on the following setup for my RS4 Avant FRONT 9" x 18" ET 28 with 8mm/5mm spacer REAR 9" x 18" ET 15 All wearing 255 x 35 x 18 Toyo tyres I have been told that i will get issu...

mine does it too! I'm going to MRC tomorrow for a full health check, as i haven't done one since i purchased the car a month ago, whilst i'm there i'm also going to get them to check out the 'clunk' sound we're talking about, will update you tomorrow as to what they say

R33V-Spec has got some unique OEM ones for sale...

hmmmm interesting, I had Falkens on my LMs, were ok tyres but not very good in the wet i thought, was thinking of going with Toyo's this time, not sure what they are like compared to the Falkens however

LOL sorry mate! Looks more like you have 8 coats of shine on that baby, she's sparkling! You had 15mm spacers in the rear? this would technically bring the ET to 15 right, where exactly did it catch and rub with that offset before you replaced with 12mm spacer? I'm thinking of 9 x 18s on rear with E...

R33V-Spec, the chap with the wide wheels got in touch, see below, as stated earlier, i'm shocked that those sizes work! Hello! You got that wheel size right. Rial Daytonas come only ET 30. I do have 30mm spacers in front and 12mm in rear, no rubbing. Rubber 235/35 and 275/30. KW variante suspension....

I would be amazed if he responds stating everythings ok, and there is no rubbing etc

either way, we'll wait and see, i'll post his reply once i recieve it

This is the car we were talking about, brilliant, cheers Mark

I'm amazed to see it sitting so well on 10 x 19s! i've Pm'd the owner to try and find out the offset etc

tried searching... no joy, would be good to see, i think it's safer to stick with same width all round though, what tyres do you recommend on 9 x 18s? 255/35/18?

After hearing your thoughts, speaking to a few people and checking and measuring...

I have decided to scrap the 8.5 and 9.5 18s, instead i will go for 9 x 18s all round, that way the tyres will be identical all round, avoiding any issues i might face

cheers for all your help guys

hmmmm like i said just toying with a few ideas, nothings really been decided, appreciate all your thoughts however,

ok, throwing the stretch bit out the window, what would you consider to be an ideal tyre size on 8.5 and 9.5 18s?

i'm after a slight stretch, nothing drastic, i had 215 x 35 x 19 on my LMs, they were drsastic!

like i said, i'm not sure exactly how the tyres would effect the RS, going for a bit of a 'Euro' look...

255/35 would just be as stock, no stretch

hey guys i'm looking to 'invest' (this is what i've told my wife!) in some after market rims for my RS Avant, this is the spec... FRONT - 8.5 x 18 REAR - 9.5 x 18 I would like to keep the rolling radius of the wheels as close as possible to stock, any suggestions on possible tyre sizes. as you know ...

i'm considering a custom remap with Miltek system, anyone near London region have this done? would definately be good to see and hear in the flesh before taking the plung...

UPDATE... Firstly, merry xmas to you all I have complete B7 RS4 steering wheel including airbag/horn unit and B7 RS4 gearknob, these really need to go, best offer will secure i guess, i wanted these to go on my RS but other mods now take priority! Ideally would like to sell as set, they will look aw...
