Tyre Size- 18" > 19" ???

Post by TinTin1201 » Fri Apr 02, 2010 7:12 pm

Hi guys,

i gonna be swapping my Standard B5 RS4 18" alloys for a set of 19" B7 Rs4 alloys soon(when i get the tyre's)

#Question is about Tyre Size- My 18" tyre size is- 255/35/18"- the original tyre size for the 19" is- 255/35/19".(Audi B7 RS4)
Now i was going to stick with this size for the 19"..... until a mate mentioned Rolling Radious( he states if you go up an alloy size you must come down a tyre size ,or the speed clock-,fuel consumsion etc,...will be out ?
He thinks the tyres should be 255/30/19"

Thoughts on this before i buy the tyres!! :?:

Or 255/30/19 if you want the rolling radius to be exactly the same. But a dearer tyre to biy than the 265/275
