Hey guys. A few of us have scraped together the wheel specs for Dynamic package on the incoming RS3s (US), and I thought some of you might also want to get a head start on your wheel planning before your car arrives. So here's the details that we have gathered... and are waiting to confirm as cars start getting sold:

Front is 19x8.5 255/30/19 ET46
Rear is 19x8 235/35/19 ET42

Stock front fender to wheel gap is 13mm, rear is 20mm, so that's the space you get to play with to make it flush.

Good luck! :-)

Thank you for the specs, now i have a rough idea what sizes I can look for my summer wheels next spring.

Thanks, since my car will likely be here this winter, I'll have to start planning winter tires and spring wheels

bipedcreature - are u gonna put 255/30/19 front winter tires?

Don't know what to do ... on my side I still have 4 X 235/35/19 sottozero winter 240 series II almost new from my S3, ... 4 new wheels for winter I guest? ...

I'm not sure. I haven't done much research yet, but when I did look, I couldn't find any that were 255/30/19, but I found 255/35/19. I think since I'm buying new, I would probably do 255 in front. But I don't know if tire width should match for snow tires, or if it doesn't matter. My old BMW 135i had 4 tires that were the same width, even though the rear wheels were wider. I didn't mind it, the rims did stick out from the tire more in the rear, but it didn't bother me since the setup was only used in the winter.

Hey guys would you happen to know if these wheels will work? Planning to use as my winter setup, my main concern is brake clearance.

Front 19x8 235/35/19 ET45
Rear 19x8 235/35/19 ET45

I think the rears should clear the brakes no problem. In theory the fronts should give 1 mm more clearance?
TIA

I dont know about the clearing for the brakes iron or ceramic
but the offset??
