Maximum Size of alloy? Will RS8 Alloys fit?

class37 · 30-01-2006, 18:50

Got the chance of getting some Audi Rs 8 Alloys, Will they fit think there 18”.?

**mannyo** · 30-01-2006, 18:57

Genuine ones, no they wont as the PCD is wrong. However replica ones should but it depends on wheel size. They must have a PCD of 100, not sure of the offset. For 18's you will need very low profile tyres, consider the effect this will have on handling.

Im running on 18" x 8" RS8 Alloys, on 215/35/18 if that helps. Those tyres you mention may catch.

Look in photography and photoshop for my two recent threads, so you can see how they look.

**mannyo** · 30-01-2006, 19:22

The 40 profile tyre will introduce quiet a large speedo error, you really need 35as already mentioned. The 40 will be fine for an octy/golf though.

Do you know Brian Fletcher?

Torben Paw · 31-01-2006, 08:29

u will newer get them on a fabia they are 11,7% bigger than the original and i know we tried my m8`s 18" octy wheels on a vRS

(hmm i think i have a pic)

u should go for the 225/30-18 tires made by BF-goodrich they fit....

furthermore u must newer put new wheels on that are more than 3% bigger than ur original size as it will **** up ur ABS system...
