^^^ if you could post pics of the poke if any that would be great!

im about to have wheels built and I’ve been wanting to order 22x10.5 et25 and wrap em in 295/25. My only question is I’ve been going back n forth between et30 or staying with the et25.

These are oz superturismo lm 21x10.5. Et28. Michelin sport pilots 285x35-21. Tikore 35mm two piece titanium wheel bolts.

i had zero tire rubs at the track today. I was surprised it cleared.
i has the fastest radar trap speed for the day and won a 50 dollar gift card. It was a wet track all day long.

It's good to know 285/35-21s fit without rubbing on 10.5 in wheels. I didn't think they would fit. Let us know if they rub. Have a good track day!

$650 wheel lugs is baller status!! Nice

I'm looking to buy winter tyres and have to decide on size. Currently running on factory setup of: 21” x 9J ‘5-arm Rotor’ with 275/35 R21 tyres. I found some cheap 285/30/21 tyres and it looks like there will be 3% speedo. Would they fit?

--------
To answer my own question: Tyres from RS6 model fit nicely in A8: Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D 285/30 R21 100W XL NST RO1 with rim protection.

Default Hope hope the fit

I just test fitted vossen CV 7 22x10.5, seeing this and many other threads it should fit but it looks like super poke, Hopefully it's just because the car is hoisted, having turbo's and downpipes done. You guys think it will sit in after she gets on the ground I guess? See pics. tires are conti dws extreme 285/30/22



above looking down

looks nice, hope she sits in.

285/35 on et 30,31,or 32. Or 295/30
275/35 on et 27, 28, or 29. Or 285/30

Using 30 series will stretch the tire more than a 35. So you can run slightly more et than above if going 30s.

Yeah once you get it back on the ground and it settles you should sit flush. That’s what mine looked like when I put em on too.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share some info on the fitments we've done on the A8/S8

+32 offset will work and be flush, but you have to also take into account the profile of the wheel. Our wheels are very concave so we know they will work.

Here is a gallery of a staggered set up on an A8 with 22x9 +32 / 22x10.5 +40



We have also done many square set ups both in 22x9 and 22x10.5 both running +30/32 offsets

S8 w/ 10.5s all around +32
