Default mmmmm......fresh meat........
S03's mounted today, 245/45-18. I'll have to put on a few miles and a track day before I review compared to the Rosso's.

Default nice - Bridgestone must like us AW allroaders...
...I think most of the 18" wheel guys on this forum also have the S03's.

Default i can't believe you can get away with that tire on a 32et offset rim : )
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/20356/p3080081.jpg"></center><p>according to tirerack that tire is 9.8 inches wide on a 8 inch rim. that would mean you are at least 15mm inbound of stock tires. i worried that the top of tire would flex inward and rub on that metal suspension part.(don't know proper term, but that thing in picture) guess not, can you see how much room you have between tire and metal part in picture?

Default rim edge to side wall 8mm, tread harder to measure but very close to even.
seems kinda less than I thought it would be, I dunno maybe I'm measuring it wrong somehow....but I'm kinda happy it's not more......

Default I guess you don't care much for the front wheels (face down in the driveway)
