Default TT RS wheels on a 17 S3???

Hello all newbie to Audi and the forums. This is my first Audi '17 S3 with stage 2 APR ECU, carbon fiber intake, turbo muffler delete and AWE downpipe with switchpath exhaust with remote.

Now onto the wheels... I purchased a used set of the BBS CH-R wheels from a guy who had them on a 13 TT RS. I tried them out on the car last night and they fit, but just worried about the long term. Looking for some feedback from all of the Audi experts here. THANKS!!!

I should note that the TT RS wheels are 19x9.5 with ET of 45. The tire size is 255/35R19.
Thanks again!!!

Congrats on an awesome car. Not crazy about those wheels. The stock S3 wheels are great looking.

Thanks. The stock wheels look like flowers to me... I was going to get the stock wheels powder coated gloss black and then get spacers to push them out some. I like the stance of the BBS wheels inside the wheel wells.

Any potential rubbing issues aside, I think the car would need to be lower to pull off those rims.

Are you on stock suspension? It seems lower than stock to me, but that might be a function of all that sidewall rubber making the gap appear smaller.

Since everyone seems to want to give you their opinions on the wheels versus what you asked, I thought I'd just jump in and say that they look like they will be fine. You shouldn't have any long term issues with them, as you really haven't moved the center that much. If they fit and you like them, stick with them.
