You are welcome. And don't forget to write. :shock:
RS4 B5. Where it all started.
RS6+ Never to be replaced.
Replaced by: 997 Turbo. Didn't like.
Replaced by RS6. I like(d).
Land Rover Defender. Not as nippy.
Back with C6 RS6
And again C7 RS6

the tyres might be more of a problem - b7 are 255/35/19 which is exactly 1" extra diamater compared to the 255/35/18 of the b5

options are to use the 255/35/19 at 4% over size (they might not fit at the rear - the upper suspension arm is close) or use 255/30/19 or 265/30/19 but these are twitchy and a bit hard on the b5

Michelin has 265/30ZR19 PS2... and I'd need some spacer... but I think it worth trying.

i currently have 265/30/19 ps2 tyres on mtm bimotos and was toying with either 255/35/19 tyres on existing rims ( i dont know wheter they will fit yet, i need to try this) or going back to oem 18" wheelst to remove the twitchiness/hardness.

continuing with 265/30/19 isnt really an option i want to keep
