Wanted? Thinking about 9-spoke 20" D2 S8 FE wheels
I guess you just get there eventually.....
Now I've got the winter wheels on I'm looking at refurbishing the summer ones (standard FL 18" Avus) and getting at least 2 new tyres, maybe 3 depending how I play the spare. Which got me thinking - why not look for some 20's for next summer then move the winter tyres onto the FL18's leaving me a set of 5 allegedly still desirable PF Avus 18's to sell on with some fairly decent tyres too. I see A8parts have a set of 4 on eBay but they look pretty rough round the rims, does anyone else have any available now or in the near future? Also, for anyone who has them now, do you normally have a full set of 5 or is the spare something different?

So no problem with the spare wheel well? I wondered if the lower profile tyre might be a bit "squarer" so not fit properly.

I'm the same as Jim - full set of 5 on both the 18" winter set and 20" summer set (plus the original 20" diamond cut set for special events
). The fit for the 18" wheel is fine in the spare wheel well, since the overall wheel+tyre diameter is practically the same for both the 18s and 20s, due to the deeper sidewall on the 18" tyres, though the 20" is a slightly more "snug" fit.

Oh dear, 3 sets, I can't compete with that.
 I can feel my wallet getting ready to open already, but does anyone have any for sale?

Can someone tell me what width the FE 20" wheels are and what the "standard" tyre size is?
(The closest 20" equivalent to 245/45 R18 would be 245/35 R20)

I'll post the full spec details later for both d2 and d3 fit if nobody else does
 am on route home from Birmingham at the momentBasically d3 rim is 0.5" wider and a slightly larger tyre size. From memory the d3 rims fill the arches slightly better so I wouldn't rule out a d3 set as they're likely to be much newer/better condition A diamond cut set will be fairly hard to find as only really a couple of places that can do the refurbs. It's easier to get them powder coated and painted which is what most do. Can thoroughly recommend Michelin super sports for summer tyres if they come without

OK, precise wheel specs:
D2 8.5Jx20 ET45 4d0601025ae 255/35R20 97 ZR(Y) XL D3 9Jx20 ET46 4e0601025af 275/35R20 102 ZR(Y) XL I would say the extra width isn't a major issue. Details on the fitting here: http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...et2=46#content Sticking out an extra 5mm will fill the front arches quite nicely, although the rears on mine (8.5") are spaced out 20mm! The higher load index of the tyre intended for the D3 won't help the ride quality - if fitting new tyres to 9" rims on a D2 finding some in 97 load index would be beneficial. There's a 98 available for Super Sports The change in rolling radius will help the gearing at motorway speeds, although not by very much!
