Can we set the circumference in the menu

[doncecone]

After a few week of thinking and measuring i went for staggered setup - 275/35 19 Y 100XL rear on OEM 19" and 245/40 19 Run Flat 98XL front. This fits perfect, doesn't rub anywhere. No modification. Very satisfied.

Very curious setup. I'm sure others would like to see this.

Here it is. I did a manual swap, a didn't drive the car much with the automatic and what i felt is that the back was wheelspining too much, Not with the 275 at the back, that is not so severe. I pus Michelin Sport and after warming up, the car is very stable. Drove it with this setup 1000 miles alreade - highways, twisties, city and it handled brilliantly, very stable and way more comfortable. Maybe a bit more clumsy, but very little. As i live in Sofia, Bulgaria and here the roads are not so good and it was cruitial for me to have 98 or 100 XL tyre. I put Runflat infornt, as the car is heavier there. Yes, they are heavy and not so comfortable, but not damaging the tyres is more important to me.

I like the look of those on the RS6

I have just read this lengthy but very informative article & appreciate all I've learnt so I thought I would add my details & setup in case it gives someone a perspective they're looking for. This is my machine, and it is on its original wheels 19 x 9 ET35 which I believe is the European set up even though I'm way down in the antipodes, Christchurch, New Zealand which just below & to the right of Australia in case your wondering,... think All Blacks, Rugby, & the Haka etc. I have had the failed DRC replaced with Bilstein adjustables so that allows me to set the ride height how i like it, which is quite low compared to some others I see here. The only issue I've got is slight rub on inside of front guards when turning full lock, but no issues any other time even when driving to the limit on tight winding hills. I to was wanting to change my wheels & have been wanting a very nice set of RC10 Rohanna's from the USA as I'm very keen on a very deep dish look with wheels set to the outer edge of the guards. I was almost going to risk 20" but this article has convinced me to stick with 19 x 9.5 with a ET31. I hadn't realised the ride & drivability compromise, this car needs every bit of help it can get to go around corners at pace. Not sure when budget will allow this but once complete I'll post some pic's.

Nice set up! do you have it on PSS9 correct? This is the set up i have and i don't think i can get it that low... I have more adjustments to make but i will see. I am also still trying to get the dampening adjusted correctly, it feels like the car wants to sway a little bit in hard corners, really do not like that, the back end seems to want to do that, same on yours?. I also have a similar wheel size set up as yours, that is the reason i am asking you those questions

Like it ! What is your tire size ? If its 255/35/19, I wonder if we could go with 265 just to give it a fuller look?

Staggered with AWD is OK? I thought that I read somewhere that is not OK?

As long as the outside circumference is the same, there is no problem. Porsche, Lamborghini, Mercedes, etc., all do it. I'm looking to try out a 255/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear set-up here shortly.

I know its been a while but do you have any pics?

I have 19x10 Rotiforms, tried both ET 35 (MIA) with 5mm spacer. Now running same size wheel with ET25. Very aggressive, but no spacer, and most of the time no rubbing. the Michelin 275/30 R19 Super Sports are not the widest tire and stretch a little, so it helps with the rubbing issue. R888s are very square and wide, and would for sure rub on this config.

[RSSIK]

any more pics of the 5 spoke setup? specs?

I have no issues with 10x19, previous owner had these 10,5x20.
