blix Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 rs4 alloys will look great make sure you find out what offset will fit your car and whether they will need spacers or not www.rochfordtyres.co.uk have a wheel guide good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirMax Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 thanks im new to the world of alloys so forgive me being a little slow, ive seen 19 inch alloys on a3's before so im presuming they fit ok..is there a specific offset that is needed for an a3? i dont really understand that, to be fair before i buy anything im gonig to go into the shop here and talk to the staff, just doing some preliminary research thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Is it not worth just sticking to 18s. You know they'll be okay and still a huge difference to wht you've got. have heard of 19s rubbing on arches at full lock from a few people. Ride will be really comppromised. Would look daft if you didn;t lower it as well (on 18s or 19s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 18's will definately suit it better. A3's on 19's tend to look like they're on stilts especially if its running standard suspension... not good plus the ride suffers and you may get a small amount of rubbing. If you do decide to go that way you need PCD 5x100 ET35 fitting wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiGhT Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yeah stick to 17`s or 18`s at a push if your gonna lower it and vere towards something from the Audi range or replicas of them.. Too many issues with the 19`s and perhaps 18`s too. Stilts, ride, acceleration all compromised. Its not worth it for the extra inch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirMax Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 ok guys im gonna get 18" replica rs4 rims, can anyone recommend a suitable lowering kit? how far could it be lowered with 18s also cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Get the RS007's mate, they're very similar to the MTM Bi-Motos, and look the business IMO. www.rochfordtyres.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
