tyre selection HELP PLEASE!
 

hi, i have a Audi S8 2000 D2, i have replaced my avus wheels with 19" bbs lm reps, currently i have 235 35 19 tyres all round, with these tyres and wheels the cars sits too high, what would be reccommended tyres that i can put on that would give me a wider stance look (EURO Style) and if lowering would still need to be done reccommended suspension or springs etc??

thanks

Have you got any pictures you can show of the car with the wheels on?

Thanks,

Oli

You could go to 285/35 - 19. Much fatter. Fill the arches better and proper rolling radius.

yup heres a pic link below

And agree with Conan on the tyres size!

would 285s 35 allround sit right without no rubbing etc issues and fill the arches?

thanks

You already have the lowest suspension on the 8 series. Next is a set of coilovers.

What ET are those wheels. You may consider a set of spacers, but do the tyres first and then see if you need spacers.

Nice colour. +++

the suspention is untouched, no idea wat the offset is but i know they are the correct fitment. how wide will 285s bring out the wheels i wonder

Won't bring them out, but will make it look wider.

I assume your wheels can take 285s.

they are 9j allround, i would of thought so

The 'correct fitment on our cars is anything from ET 35 to ET 48 a difference of 1/2" in old money.

As yours are 9J, Audi 9J wheels were around the ET45 area and could easily handle a 275 tyre, 285 would need a 9.5J wheel. Have a read through this thread.

i think i will go for a 275 tyre all round once theses 235s are bold, thanks for all the help!

thanks
