Default Just put on the summer tires!

I had to buy winter tires as the summer tires were horrible in the snow. But it gave me an excuse to get new rims for the summer tires! Love my RS3!

Dang, that's a lot of poke! Hope you don't bang up the body work - what's specs on wheels and tires?

In my area I wait until April 1 to put on my summer rubber. March can have snow in my neck of the woods.

The wheels look good. What rubber are you running?

love the wheel look, but yea, too wide. do you have spacers on?
if you do, consider removing them and going smaller spacers?
if not, you could mess up your body.
and you're going to have an issue keeping the car clean, b/c you're that poke will spray crap all over your car.
and you could get a ticket b/c it's illegal. you could turn up a stone and break someone's windshield, easily.

not hating, just lookin out.
I'll be changing to my summer setup in a few weeks.
cheers

I did on the rear tires but removed them the next day as the wheels were hitting the body. Rear wheels did look a bit odd, but now much better!
