I'm curious more about the 18's on these cars. are there more pics you guys can post up? maybe of different angles.

thanks.

BobMar suggests not exceeding 235. might depend on the suspension package you have. also keep in mind that 245/40 will also increase height of tire. so depending on what you're coming from and your suspension, it could start becoming significant. but just guesses from me

neither of us have them yet. convince score 0412 to get them pref in 18 w/ dwso6 in 235/40

I suggested not exceeding 235 because that is widest that is offered OEM. There is clearance for those at least. The 235s are offered on 19 inch rims with either standard or sport suspension. The aspect ratio of the tire in combination with rim size determines height. The 235 indicates width. 235/35 on 19" should be same height as 235/40 on 18". They should also be pretty close in outside circumference otherwise there would be a difference in speed shown on the speedometer.

Ck Tirerack charts for Rev/Mile on different size tires.

taller? I'm keeping the profile at 40...would wider tires really make car taller? The A3 will have the sports package that includes sport suspension.

HAHAHA; seems 2017 wheels will be different for Premium Plus and Prestige which may be to my liking (may not go aftermarket); will wait and see.

Different angles of my chrome 18" aftermarket rims.

The 40 represents the difference in diameter between the edge of the tire that connects to the rim and the outside edge of the tread. For the same car, bigger diameter wheels will usually be matched with lower aspect ratio tires to get the same height and circumference. Otherwise there could either be wheel well clearance issues or speedometer error. The 225 or 235 represents the width of the tread.
