DGS4

The Spec on the wheels are:
21 x 9

Purchased from ABT Sportsline America

Tires on order Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265 / 30 / 21
These seem to be the only tire available in this size.
I am a little concerned with the 30...any one have any thoughts on this? Was considering 265 / 35 / 21 which gives me some more options...like the Continental ContiSport Contacts.

Here are some pics

Are these wheels directional wheels meaning there are right side and left side versions?
If not, one side will look wrong.

To keep the rolling diameter as close to stock as possible, the 265/30/21 (or a 255/30/21) tire is the best option. You could try a 35 series tire, but your speedometer will be off by greater amount and you may encounter rubbing issues.

What is your concern with the 30-series tires?

How much do those bad boys cost? ABT usually isn't does things cheap.

Thanks. 30 just seems so thin. I have 35 right now (stock) and just worried a little that it will have a big impact on the ride quality.

They have a bunch of info at www.abtamerica.com in the audi A6 section

I don't think the 35 to 30 series tires will be a significant decrease in ride quality, especially in the OC. I drive my car all over Los Angeles and it hasn't been an issue. The ride comfort is much better (less harsh) than my old S4 on KW V2 coilovers + 255/35/19, and I attribute a lot of that to the S6's air suspension.

The only time I really notice a difference from my 255/40/19 stock wheels is when I drive through a construction area or hit a pothole (which you do have to be careful for when running lower profile tires).

Here is the final product with iPhone pics. I have some work to do with the H&R module.

I like it. Good contrast between the wheel and car color. Something different than what most owners go with.
