Paging CarbonLord - Any issues with you running 255/40-18 tires?
They seem to be about 5% or so larger than the standard size. Besides the speedo reading a bit slower, any noticable performance (acceleration, cornering) cons?
Thanks

I'm running them too, no issues....
I rub only on really large dips where the entire weight of the car comes back down all at once.
I'm also running 30ET's, ContiExtremes.

Speedo error is off by 4 mph on the upside.....
if the speedo reads 60, the car is going 64mph.
Doesn't really bother me at all, but something is in the works to fix that as we speak.
Summer setup is on its way baby!!!! I wont even discuss it until they are on the car, but I will say this: its gonna be saweet.

There are no cons with a wheel that comes standard on a RS 6 ;)
No cons.

Oh sorry officer, it said 100 on the speedo, didnt realize I was doing 104, ya know?
