New wheels.

[Somejace]

2015 Audi A3

I need help with what I should do or if these will even work

19x9.5 ET35
19x8.5 ET30
18x9.5 ET 22

What tire sizes as well.

I’ve looked around but results show multi pages and doesn’t really give a answer. So please don’t tell me to search. Just give me your opinions. That would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

Currently on coil overs might switch to springs soon as well

Attached is what I’m looking to do.

My car was the guinea pig for running a 19x10 square setup without stretched tires. We learned that et35 is the lowest you can do to clear struts, and a 275/30 pushes what can fit


I current am on 18x10 et35 running a 275/35 which I believe is the widest wheel tire setup and offset I’ve seen on any S3 so far.

Im running 18x9 et30 only recommendation is go et 35 if you plan on neuspeed springs. I had to raise my rear about 1/2 inch to stop rubbing because i didn't want to pull fenders

How is the ride with them? I’ve heard people saying certain setups like that suck and ended up switching

So basically the 19x9.5 will work: I love the copper chrome setup with a black car it makes the rims pop. Black on black is nice but I wanna change it up

And tires would be the next I don’t wanna rub at all of course I can adjust right now but like I said coils I have I really don’t like them. I did for the first month and they just went to shit. So springs would be the second option or keep the ones I have and get the front struts replaced.

Thanks for the quick response. So the 18’s are out of the picture then. Only come in that size.

I’ve loved it since I got the 10’s. And he 275’s are amazing. However I’m the only person running that wide due to having to pull fenders and what not to make them work.

The wheels are brushed rose gold and the car is Merlin Purple audi exclusive.

I’d go with a 9.5 et35 with a 255/35 to be safe. A lot of guys have run this set up with no issues.

I am selling my 19’s if your interested in a 10”.... and I have to refinish them anyway so you can pick the color

If your deal was better then what I’m getting ;)

So 255/35/19 will work with the 19x9.5 ET35 without any issues. Ride quality will be fine as well.

There is a chance that you may rub slightly. I would go with 245/35/19s with 19x9.5 et35 to be safe.

I definitely want to be on the safe side.

A little under 1/2 inch space between sidewalk and fender. This is 19x9.5 et40 with 245/35 tires.
You will be 5mm more aggressive and may rub. 255 wide would push it even further by another 5mm and yeah you will have to roll/pull fenders or raise ride height.

Would a 19x8.5 et35 work on the stock mag ride suspension? Thinking 235/35/19’s for a 19x8.5 wheel. Does that sound right?

I might be able to work something out if you want some good aggressive wheels
Downfall... they are a straight fit and no rub rub

No fender pulling for me.

So 235’s? Wouldn’t that be stretching the tire now.

Yeah the rear is where it is tight and nothing to roll there. Maybe trim liner, but it’s close. 235 is a bit stretched. I would try for 245 on et35. Camber a bit will help.
