they are 18x8.5
would there be any fitment issues on a 2003 a4 with the factory sport package if i used 245x40 tires?

thanks

 

I don't know about the tire size, but make sure you get the hub centric rings for them.

 

ive gotstock wheels 17swith 245 40 and they dont rub somebody said 19s will

 

I'm not a huge fan of the polished rim, but that's just me. Otherwise I think they are rather sexy.

 

those are the EXACT rims i have. im pretty sure im rollin on 235's with it lowered. So 245 w/ sport suspension should be fine

 

you have good taste

do you have any pics of your car you could post or send me? and what did you use to lower your car? im putting the rims on first, but *may* decide to lower it if it looks like it needs it. im hoping the 245s will be ok if i decide to lower the car.

thanks man

 

haha thanks, i thought so!

I am at work right now so i dont have any photos readily available. but i can take some later on today and post em. Ill post on here when i have them up.

Yeah i did the same thing, wheels first then the drop. I just ran out to my car to check real quick and i am runnin 235's. I have the tein S-tech springs for my drop. Im not sure if 245's will be a problem or not, so i would definitely call up a shop and ask them if they think you could get away with it ok. Oh and trust me, the drop is a must. Even tho the sport suspension is a lil lower than stock....it makes a WORLD of difference just in the look of the car with the springs on there. Not to mention taking turns is a bit more fun but yeah, ill get back to you with those pics

 

thx so much for your help....

did you notice much of a difference in the ride quality with the rims/lowering?

im sure bumps are a little more harsh due to the thinner tires, but is it still a decently smooth overall ride?

 

no problem

yeah you definitely decrease the ride quality with the thinner tires and the drop. But for the look/performance i am glad to sacrifice it.

 

any pics yet?
