RS3 8V Sedan Manufacturer (and member) Confirmed Wheel Fitments

[DanMPower]

Below is at stock height. It’s not a good angle to show how it sits but I can 100 percent confirm 8.5 +43 does not poke. It sits slightly inbound. 8.5 +38 doesn’t clear the brakes in these.

I have a set of the 8.5 +43 available if you like

Hey Paul, FYI for the future.

I have the TC105X in the 8.5 +38 and it clears the stock RS3 brakes by a lot actually. The +38 offset is perfect for the RS3/TTRS, it sits great where as the +43 version kinda sinks in a bit and would require a nice 5MM spacer to look good.

Well dang!

Weds seems to think they do not.

Awesome thanks for the post!!

Great thread, and you guys have some beautiful rides. Thanks for taking the time to post your fitments and specs.

Does anyone have any photos of the WedsSport TC105X in either 43 or 38mm at stock height? I’ve seen several photos of cars with the 43mm offset, but I’m not sure if they are stock height or not. I want to make sure that there is no poke whatsoever at stock height.

Also if anyone has a photos of the TC105X on a Daytona grey car that would be awesome. I’m afraid the colors will be a bit too similar, and that there isn’t enough contrast.

Thanks!

Fabulous thread here! My wife is a bit upset with me reading all of this over the last two days!

I picked up a 2018 RS3 a week ago to replace my 2019 S3 that had the Black Optics Option which includes the nice 19" Rotor wheels which I assume are 8" width. I have always loved these wheels and I'm very tempted to use these and replace the staggered wheels on the RS3. My assumption is they will fit on the front. If I did this, I would run 245/35 tires.

But after reading here that the Audi Sport wheels are often 27 to 29 lbs and that there are many wheels discussed here in the 19 lb range, my question is how much of a difference will that make in the driving experience? Assumption here is I would pick wheels that are 19x8.5 and go with 245/35 x 19 tires for a square setup. Thanks to all for all that I have learned!

Congrats!

Those S3 rotors do not clear the Rs3 brakes unfortunately. Losing weight on all the corners is always a plus but the biggest improvement will be to dump the Oem pirellis. They are hot garbage. Whatever wheel you choose my advice is go square and get good tires that meet you need and goals. That alone will increase performance exponentially.

Shoot me an email I’d be glad to help 👊

[BENDOU]

Thanks so much for the reply, Paul!

I'm happy to know the S3 rotor wheels won't fit on the front as I'm now not tempted to do that. I had suspicions they wouldn't fit. My RS3 came with the Michelin PS S4 tires in the stock staggered sizes. Last week I put on 245/35 19 Michelin winter tires and the car is much more compliant to big cracks in the roads around here. But not enough for my liking. If our roads get any worse, local daily trips will best be done in my 4Runner!

I've been reading and learning more and I'm now leaning to 18x9 - 45 using 255/30 tires to get a bit more sidewall. Still have some reading to do to narrow in on what styles and finishes I'd like. Saw the Weds along with the RSe 102 and an FC that strike my fancy so far. Loving the brushed black finish too.

Will email you as I get closer to defining my wants (although reading what I just wrote I may be there already). lol

If you want more sidewall than a 245/35/19 dont mount up 255/30/18's, those have ~3.01 inch sidewall vs ~3.38 for the 245/35/19. If you want a noticeable difference, you want 245/40/18's mounted on 18X8.5's (3.86" sidewall)

You are right! I did get confused on all this. Tks

Hey Paul,

What is generally the best tyre size to go for on a car running the staggered setup? 245/35R19 ok to run on staggered OEM wheels front & rear? I am not really a fan of staggered if I am honest, so trying to work out what best size of tyres i should go for next...

While not ideal, 245/35-19 is really the only size you can pull off on the staggered Oem. Much better for handling to go square rims and tires though.

[DarkSammy]

Thanks Paul!

A couple days ago I placed an order for OZ wheels (ultraleggera) and heard back from the retailer that the wait is 85-90 business days (18 weeks), so I cancelled. How long are you folks waiting for fulfillment?

Hi Paul, I'm close to settling on wheels and tires but wanted to verify fit before pulling the trigger. My car has the carbon ceramic brakes and is at stock ride height. Planning to go with RSe11R's 18x9 +45 with PS4S 245/40/18. Should that be kosher?

[Jtrump]

Paul;

Just wanted to give you a shout out for the help for my 2019 rs3, I think we have the wheel and tire situation squared away. Just wanted to thank you so much for your time and efforts!

Yup that’s solid. Shoot me an email if you’d like to discuss further or would like pricing

You’re welcome! I’ll get everything quoted and sent for Monday processing 👊

[Rod Paine]

Yes this will serve you well. I am running PS4S 245/40/18 which replaced A/S3+ on RSe10 18x8.5 and they've proven to be a very satisfactory configuration. I am currently at 32,270 total miles with 23,234 miles being fast country back road runs and am very pleased with the performance of this configuration. Soon to be 82 years old and have making these kinds of back road runs since 1958, starting in southern California, now in northern VA in BMW, Porsche and now our 2019 Audi RS 3.

Longtime lurker finally joined! Read this thread numerous times. Thanks to everyone for the info especially Paul@SupremePower. Just curious if anyone is aware of a two-tone aftermarket rim like the oem? Looking to go 18x8.5 square in the near future and think the silver/black wheel looks great with the Nardo grey. Thanks.

Neuspeed RSe11R in 18x9 +45 with PS4S 245/40x18. Just enough space between the barrel and the CCB's. Thank you Paul for your help in figuring out the right combo of specs for my car!

Well, i've been browsing and pretty sure this the best thread to ask this. If I bought another set of oem 19x8.5 for the rear would 245/35 square work with CCB? Thanks all.

It would. But whyyyyyyyyyy? You’re adding more weight. 🙃

[Plake]

The horror! Lol. I need more tire for these fine Long Island roads and really like the oem wheels. But again, going with 18's and 245/40 is a close 2nd.

HAHAHAA! I hear ya. I’m from Westchester so I know your pain.

I’d recommend dropping to 18”. You can get the same sidewall meat with 245/40 and can drop 8-10 lbs per corner with the right ones.

[DarkSammy]

Hey all,

100% noob question I apologise, i am very new to Euro and come from a JDM background. When ordering aftermarket wheels for our RS3 Sedans (Saloon) do we need to specify hub centric details say if I were to order a set of Vossen HF3, or will they know hat to give me when i say it is for the RS3 platform? Also what premium brand of lug nuts do most of us use/recommend? I am guessing I will need lugs too so may as well order that at the same time...

Thanks from Australia Down Under ;)

Hey @Paul. Talked to you in the past. Thinking on pulling the trigger this time around on some new wheels and a summer set. 2019 RS3 sedan. I’ll pm you via email to check on prices and availability.

Depends on the manufacturer. Anything custom you can get true 57.1. Some off the shelf wheels have bore choice but many are going to be larger bore and require the use of rings to 57.1. Most places will know what to include if they know the platform it’s going on but it won’t hurt to ask.

Bolts will depend on the specific wheel. Some need ball seat and some cone. For most wheels without spacers on this car you’re looking at 14x1.5x27 to 30mm

Had my eye on these for a set of drag wheels. I am assuming these didn't clear the calipers without the spacer?

[Rod Paine]

Neuspeed wheels such as these shown here at <https://neuspeedrswheels.com/collect...31935762890865> are designed to clear Audi RS 3 brake calipers, such as I am using on our 2019 Audi RS 3. Been using their wheels 40+ years and they've performed perfectly on the many different vehicles I've used their wheels on.

Here's a pic of them on our Nardo Gray 2019 RS 3 fitted with Michelin A/S3+ 245/40/18 tires, capabile of surviving our pot-hole rittled back roads, which killed two of the original factory 235/35/19 tires in 3 days!...
