definitive tire, wheel, and offset thread

[hahnmgh63]

What Nubcake said about the bearings having no extra load, that is why you are using the spacer to get closer to the OEM offset. I do agree with you that the extra long wheel bolts might be a weak point but I don't have data to back that up, I'm too lazy to search. I've been running BBS RS-GT wheels in 19x8.5 et32mm but using 10mm spaces and 45mm longer Cone bolts. With the BBS's wheels, the flange is thicker and just adding 10mm to the stock bolt size (27mm I think) wasn't enough, I had to go longer.
Just got a good deal on Titanium bolts, Cone 45mm from ECS tuning for the RS6, and Ball 27mm from USP motorsports for the RS5. I imagine it will take my 0-60 down by a whole second....right???

Thanks Muggy, Alex, hahnmgh63

So here's what I am currently running: Vossen 19x10s ET50 with 275/30/19 which is what the car came with. I also have a set of OEM Euro 19" rims .

Car is lowered to the max, and I think on spacers but I need to check on this. Not sure about hubcentric rings though

So I have a huge offset...

Looks like I have 30mm spacers on there!

20x10.5s 255/30 15mm spacers up front 30mm rear

So out of the blue I stumble across an OEM set opf the rims I am after, 19x8.5 40mm offset, from an S4 B9

I have a set of 255/35/19 Contis - will these be OK? The factory 19" Euro RS6 rims I have waiting to go on are 19x9...

So will 19x8.5 be OK?

And any idea on value of a refinished set of 19x9 Euros, never seen the road since being refinished

Thx!
