Winter Wheels on an S8

[1781cc]

So I've been considering winter wheels for the S8, what should I be looking at alloy wheel and tyre size wise in order to clear the brakes (I guess tyres should be XL rated due to the lardy weight on the scales?)

Also, does the TPMS throw a wobbly - if so, how do you get around/fix this?

Thanks

personally i think winter wheels should be easy to clean
and so there is only one choice imo
RS6 9x19's
with winter tyres
i do have a 2 set's if you want to go that way
and yes they fit the S8 ok

tyres??

I can't remember if you've ceramics? The minimum for ceramics are 19x8.5, the set Roberto posted look good, they are 19x9. Steel discs, minimum is 18x7.5.

I agree, easy to clean is important for winter wheels. Also generally for winter wheels, the smaller the better - maintaining clearance for brakes obviously.

That said, if you have steel disks I have a nice set of AVUS complete with tyres you maybe interested in

If I had the money, I'd buy Roberto's wheels in a heartbeat as winter wheels.
