If i go with 19's can i fit a 8.5 width without scrubbing? these are the wheels im thinking about getting.

 

Depends on the offset. I had 19x8.5 with 245s and it was fine (35mm offset). Then I upgraded to BBS of the same size and they rubbed (32mm offset). So, just 3mm can make the difference. I have a B7, btw, so your exact specs will be different. My point is just to pay attn to the offset. Also, looking at this rim, I see them bending a lot. I had a similar type and bent 3 of them before giving up and going with single-piece, forged BBSs.

 

your bbs.. are they the one in your picture?

 

i had those same wheels in 18's on my last car, loved them, a lil bit heavier than i was hopin for but i liked them a lot.

 

bottlecap: were they fairly durable? and what size tires did you have? any pictures?

 

i had 225-45-18s with nexen n3000 tires. they were good for their price. one thing that i didnt like is that i hit a big crack where the ashpalt and cement on the road connect merging onto the freeway and i just hit it at a weird angle and it kind of gouged out the front wheel about 2 inches long. the wheel didnt bend at all but it just looked like i hit the curb and i hated that but other than that it was a really good set. if there was one thing i didnt like then it'd have to be how long it takes to clean the wheels, lots of gaps to squeeze into.
heres a few pics

 

nice. what are you driving now? get rid of the S4?

 

im still drivin my S4, that car was my car before the audi, never should have sold it. im actually sellin my audi though in the next week or so and ill be driving my 74 bmw 2002 instead. you can see it in the background of my sig picture. been workin on it for the past year and finally gettin her up to daily driver status
