:jump_clap: Admitting you have a problem is te first step... well done!

Saying that, i'm not sure I want to be 'clean', I love being a wheel whore!
Sweet, is that just the rear? Knowing that it sounds like I could run a 19x10 +24mm offset pretty safely (Not that I want to but if that's possible I know for a fact a 19x10.5 +20mm offset would be perfect) Are you at risk of rubbing your tires on the fender lip? Would rolling the fenders fix that?

Caliper clearance is very tight on the front, not a problem on the rears, and they seem to be approx 10mm away from any suspension parts front and rears. The slight stretch enables ne to have extra clearance for the fenders, think if you went 10.5 rolling them would definately be required, aprt from that, shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Fronts have a plastic guard behind the fenders, and if anything the tyre may catch on this on occasion i.e. when taking bends and corners at speed. No issues anywhere else, so I am a happy chappy!

Sweet, as I understand it changing the offset and width won't change the caliper clearance on the set of wheels I'm getting. I'm going to be pretty close though too I would imagine with 14.5" rotors and 6 piston calipers..

That white one is running 19x11's. Found the thread on rs-quatro last night after poking around a bunch more. Does anyone speak German?

Samstag Mittag ist "Roll-Out" ... Hoffentlich ist schönes Wetter ... Dann bekommt meine EOS wieder was zu belichten
TÜV Eintragung dann nach Ostern. Von den Traglasten her GAR KEIN PROBLEM. Gutachten ggf über Lamborghini, mein Tüv´er ist aber "gut drauf"

I have a whole bunch more pictures of this car if anyone wants them. I think from reading it with the spacers it equates to a 19x11 20mm offset and 15mm offset. I'm guessing the front is 20 and the rear is 15 just by looking at the difference in poke. I'm thinking now that 19x10.5 20mm offset might be a better bet with a 275/30. The rear has to much poke for me.

Wish I did speak German!

I used a online translator to try and convert some of the text, bits of it make sense...

Saturday midday is "rolling-out"... Hopefully is nice weather... Then my EOS gets what again to expose
Safety standards authority registration then after Easter. From the loads EVEN NO PROBLEM. However, certificate if necessary about Lamborghini, my Tüv'er is " well on it "



That white saloon looks mental!
Can't believe he's running 11 x 19s, ride must be vert stiff and drive probably awful, but sure does look the dogs b*!"*"ks!
