I was concerned that 9.5 would stick out or stretch 255 too much but it looks aggressive and still has room under fender and with stretch the gap filled in and car dropped about 1/8" and it looks lowered now and from front the wheel width Looks more aggressive and Lower stance
Very nice! I usually don't like the look of many aftermarket rims for the Audi's but I have to admit I think these look good.
Nice choice.
Thank you! I was concerned 19 would look big enough. I was Looking for more sport with clean lines. I like the black and silver too but on my last Infiniti they looked more classy and pimp then sport and 20" ruined the ride and tire wore much quicker and louder with 30 or 35 side walls
I like these rims in person but still don't totally wow me on car but the fit and stance is awesome I will ride them a little and maybe see if I like more after I paint the calipers or keep same size and look for different style
I will post later today. I was concerned as well. Even tire guy was too. Since I have 10k miles on my Pzero I figure drive them anyway then replace in another 8k-10k miles.
But we both agreed after install, with the 9.5" and ET35 the stance was perfect. The rim design is flush with the fender lip and the tire about the same. Plus the tire fits right under the gap that the 8" rim had. I had about 3-4 fingers space before with stock 255/40 and with same tire on this rim the gap is gone less then 1 finger. the Car actually appears lowered and the stance from the rear & front looks much more aggressive and tires appear wider.
The tire has a slight buldge to the rim lip almost flush really with very little stretch appearance. My concern on a 265 or a 275 is the tire will have no stretch and buldge out a little like an OEM look which will look odd on aftermkert rim and with the 255 being flush that buldge on 265-275 will sitck out past the fender a little.
And a 255/40 is 102MM of height. a 265/35 is 92MM and 96MM on a 275. That can be another 1/2" drop in height and with a larger gap in the wheel added back in and look off. I think I would need to go with a 20" rim to have the right look on a 275 and maybe ET38 to keep stock suspension settings.
