With the wheel set came 12mm spacers(if they dont work I'll get new ones). What tire should I run 225 or 235? I notice quite a few of you guys are stretching the 225 on the 9.5 wheel? Curious to see everyones opinion based on experience with these 18x9.5

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Your answer is in this very thread. Some like stretch and they do 225 on 9.5. Personally I run 255 on my 9.5. All depends what you want. Plenty od posts about 9.5 width on here. See what you like.

So i have a tire size question, will 205/40/17 fit my stock 17's? Seems a tad small to me.

Way too small. Stock 17" size is 235/45/17. Which is 30mm wider and 23.75mm shorter per sidewal. Which means total diameter is almost 2" too small.

**mic_detonator** · 01-23-2014 07:56 PM

Thats what i thought, i have a 235 on there and got a nice flat today. So time for a new tire i think.

**Brooklyn67** · 01-30-2014 09:13 AM

For a 2002 S6: Will an 18"x8" wheel with 245/45 tires fit under the front/rear fenders without rubbing? I know that the stock size is 255/40 R17 and the diameter is 25.03". The diameter of the 18" wheel with the 245/45s is 26.68". The offset on the wheels is 45mm.

Besides speedometer error and additional ride height, will this tire/wheel combo fit without rubbing the inner fender liners?

**Korben007** · 01-30-2014 09:23 AM

^Might want some spaces. Gonna be quite a sunken setup

**stef2.7t** · 02-04-2014 03:46 PM

Would 20x10, et29 run into any problems on a c5 S6.

**Racin2redline** · 02-05-2014 08:30 AM

Stock wheels no spacers will be adding 15mm soon. Yokohama Geolander ATS 225/60/17 (27.6in tall) max is probably 28in

FYI this is about the biggest you can fit without rubbing lock to lock I also took Into account airing down for beach use.. So even if a bigger tire was possible it would probably rub the upright.

Also there is slim choices for an allterrain tire close to stock sizes. Fortunately the Geolander is an amazing tire!

A 16in rim with the right lower offset (ET32 or lower) would yield better tire results like a 215/65/17 general grabber AT2 and Bridgestone revos ect.

Hey! Consider 20mm spacers on the twin spoke wheels, rather than 15mm. I found that 20mm gets the wheel arches nearly perfectly flush with the face of the wheel, but keeping all tire tread inside the wheel well.

LOVE the meaty tires btw!

**Joelgrin** · 02-14-2014 01:11 PM

This is the initial setup with H&R Race springs and Continental 235/40/18s

The wheels are VOXX MB5 Mercedes replica wheels 18x9.5 with an offset of 30

Only had to slightly roll the front fender lining and remove one of the upper screws for the inner front fender

Then I Plastidipped the wheels black

And then I decided to Plastidip the roof

Gonna need really big spacers, but should look good. I have 255/40/19 on mine. My net et is 16. I could probably still push them out further, another 5mm or so, maybe more. Any less and the large "curb protector" bead on my tires hit the rear bag. Tire was fine, but these Continentals have huge lips where the wheel sits..

I think most A8 offsets are in the 40's. Like 43-45..

They are ET 46 so I was thinking of either a set of 25mm or 30mm spacers, the 30mm spacers would bring me to ET 16 like you. Here are the wheels in question.

So my car will look like this soon

just a quick question for the masters on here. I've gotten everything figured out on my b6 s4, but this allroad is an entirely different beast. got a free set of 18x7.5 wheels from my buddy to use on my 2001 allroad. what size tire should i be looking at? they have 225/40's on them now, at only 7.5 wide, i don't want to get too wide of a tire and have that balloon look. will the 225/40's be ok (strictly summer setup) or should i be looking for a different size? any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated. pics will be coming soon. THANX FELLAS!

**$teady$upreme** · 03-05-2014 03:40 PM

x7.5, size 225 is the perfect set up. 235 will be too wide and ballon already.

**milkycereal** · 03-05-2014 06:12 PM

Thank you so much!! Thats what i was figuring, but i thought id ask those that may have more experiance with this platform. THANX!!

Do you guys think that 8Jx19 ET35 255/35/19 will fit on my A6 3.0q S-line stock suspension and without any fixing the fenders?

A6 rick. Thanks!

No spacers on those voxx wheels. I was going to space the back 5mm. Never did. I just got new mercedes wheels though! I'll post specs later but here is some pics.

Nice. You lowered it though right? Coilovers or springs?

A6 Rick.
H&R Race springs. I can't believe how little body roll it has for being a big car. really tight.
and with the right wheels and offset. it sits soooo pretty.

I love seeing everyones setups by the way. being new to audizine I can't wait to see it all.

Nice. How's the ride in comparison to stock height? I sometimes hear it's a bit hard. Also im thinking about doing a 1.5" drop. Nothing too crazy as I live in pothole infested NYC.
