Get those exhausts cleaned man!

lol you do realise they're Black Optic tips don't you? , seriously though the whole car is filthy but thankfully doesn't show too much in the pic! We've had stupid amounts of rain these last couple of days.. good weather forecast for tomorrow so it'll be clean again soon

Yep but they are way blacker on the inside than the out. It makes the outer look just dirty which balck optice look decent when cleaned up.

Just simply, WOW!!

They defiantly suit the car well.

Has it effected the ride much?

Thanks guys

very nice indeed, what tyre sizes and offset did you go for ?

They're 155x30x20. The offset is an ET30 but i still have the 10 / 8mm spacers fitted...

Ok thanks, assume you meant 255 !! What about the load rating on the tyres, I understand it's tricky to get the right rating on the 20" tyres. Which make and model tyres are they ?

[AdrianD]

they are Yokohama Advan Sport 255x30x20 92Y XL....

You have me concerned now, i have sent an email to Yokahama asking them to confirm that they're suitable....

[slowmonkey]

So don't take it from me as I'm new round here

I've just seen some old information that said the load rating had to be 96, but I don't have concrete info on this.

What is the load rating on the 19" wheel with an OEM tyre ?

[AdrianD]

The research i've done this morning following your post shows that pretty much all 20" tyres are 92Y, including Michelin etc... As RS6's run 20's as OEM what rating are their tyres?

From Wikipedia.............. for the C6 RS6

Standard wheels (in the UK) are 9.5Jx20-inch '5-segment-spoke' design alloy wheels running on 275/35 ZR20 102Y XL (eXtra Load) tyres (rated at 850 kilograms (1,874 lb) per tyre), with official supplies being either Pirelli P-Zero Rosso or Dunlop SP SportMaxx GT

and for the B7 RS4

In the UK and Japan, the standard wheels are 19 inch alloy wheels (9Jx19" ET29 "7-arm double spoke") with 255/35 ZR19 96Y XL (eXtraLoad) high performance tyres

Reason being the '6 has the space to run 35 profile in 20s (275/35 ZR20).

That's the reason I've went for 265/30 ZR 20 94Y XL. I couldn't find any tyres with 96Y load rating either!

They look very similar to the VMR 710 - I like them a lot - great purchase!
