Hello everyone , i currently have a 2007 Audi a3 2.0t with 19" TSW rims everything fits and is aligned. However I've read that factory recommends 17" to 18". Stupid Salesman told me it would work . I've Noticed wear in the inner tire, that resembles rubbing. This develops after months. i've replaced one tire already and one almost to that point, and that point being worn all the way to the metal. which it wont retain air anymore.

If anyone has any kind of solution Please replay, any kind of help is very appreciated!

 

also i forgot to mention its only the front tires.

 

You're running 19" rims? Geez, I consider 18" rims too big (or more correctly a tire with a sidewall height of 3.5" is too small); drop the sidewall height down to 3.0" and 19" wheels become even more impractical.

So, my advice would be to drop down to 17" rims and 225/45 R17 tires; not only will your tire wear issues be remediated (assuming the rest if the suspension is in good shape and everything properly aligned), but your ride AND handling should be improved as well (to say nothing of the extra impact absorption capabilities of such a setup).

 

Thank you for the advice, however at this point i cant afford to really buy new ones. so i was thinking if there was a way of making the wall higher to not rub against.

 

For example, like when someone lowers the car and they put these huge rims there has to be some way they raise the Clarence inside.

 

Ummm, say what?

 

sorry about the spelling i meant clearance, like raising the height inside so it dosent hit

 

You mean like raising the height inside the fenders for more clearance? If so the I'm thinking that's highly unlikely. Why? The area surrounding the inner fenders of most late model cars, Audis included, are jam packed full of necessary components. Sorry to say it, but it sounds like your car is all "bling" and no "go".

 

19s are fine you just need some work to make them fit. Plenty of people run larger rims.

You need to pick the right sized tire and probably roll your fenders; especially if your car is lowered.

 

thank you very much , rolling fenders thats the kind of idea i just saw a low a3 with fenders widened
