? about rims size for Audi V8
 

will FIT or NOT this size :
8,5x19 5x112 57.0 ET35
I think tyres should be
235/35 or 255/35
???
I will be very appreciative for the concrete
answer from persons, who knows for sure.
Please, help me :-)))

1st off why 19's? They will fit... but why? I'd go with the 255/35 for tires

Re: 1st off why 19's?

No doubt that looks great. Is that your car finished?
 

&amp; just a suggestion.... but I'd put that 4.2 badge thats on the front grill &amp; put it were it's supposed to be, on the rear deck.

Re: No doubt that looks great. Is that your car finished?
 

This car on the picture is somebody's from Germany, I found picture on internet......
For mine, at the moment, I need rims, coilovers
are in place, but I still nedd to do few small
things....for exsample sport fron seats from S6(C4), maybe something else....And I think, that for winter time I will use 18" rims, will be enough :-)))))) 19" - for sumertime.

So you want the same exact rims in the above pic then?
 

&amp; one of the best things I've gotten for any of my V8's were/are the //s4/6 (C4) sport seats!

Not that I'm one to talk...... but whats the weight on the 19's you wanna get?
My Rep LM's weigh with the tire bout 45lbs. Not the best.... since I dropped so much weight when I went to the coilovers. But I have a set of Urs4 fuch rims. They are 16 inch.... fit under BBK's..... &amp; weigh bout 32lbs with the tire for a dedicated Summer setup. I use the LM's for shows, ect......

I'm not driving my V8 in the Winter.... it's way to stiff &amp; I just slide around... not the best feeling.

Re: So you want the same exact rims in the above pic then?
 

I have quattro cars exactly so I CAN drive 'em around on winter's slippery conditions :~)

Comparo
 

I run 17x8.5 ET 30 with 255/40 17 on my v8. Your tire height calculates out to be 25.4mm taller diameter, and your rims will sit closer to the steering arm by 5mm. I have around 15mm clearance to the steering arm with HTRZII tires. Sure seems to me you can do this.

just my V8's suspension is too stiff.
 

But I do have a 200 20vt for Winter ;-)

sooo, in the end I have bought 8,0x18 ET35 with 225/40 and 20mm spacers at the front and back, (final ET15) and at the back I have problem: when the car is full with passengers sometimes tire is touching wing (plastic wheel housing).
Before this setup I had at the back 8,0x18 ET38 with 225/40 and 15mm spacers (final ET23) and was no problem.
I think I will go for 10mm spacers (final ET25) and this should solve my problem.
