Hi, I'm looking for a set of 19" RS6 OEM wheels for my summer setup. I prefer the Titan/anthracite finish (4B3 601 025 Q 8AU), but silver (4B3 601 025 Q 1H7) will do too. PM me if you have a set for sale! Thanks.

Thanks, Daniel! Shipping across the pond would probably be crazy expensive, but it's worth looking into it. Are you willing to sell me just the wheels?

FYI, I just had a set of wheels with tires shipped from Florida to Utah. They weighed 59lbs each. Knowing the weight, on many websites you can calculate shipping. For me it was $300 total, $75 per wheel/tire.

Considering what the wheels cost new...still worth it...hope to hell i never damage one of mine beyond repair.

Thanks for the info! I'm actually expecting a higher shipping cost since we're talking shipping from one continent to another. Nevertheless, like mmaturo pointed out, it's still worth it.

guys ,, I was wondering if I can use 275/30/19 on 19"x9 wheels? like MTM bimotos without any spacers on C5 RS6.
Any problems with rubbing in the fender wells with this setup??

It depends on the offset. Assuming it's ET35, you will very likely rub on the inside rather than the fenders. IIRC, quite a few C5 RS6 owners have reported rubbing issues with the stock 19x9 ET35 OEM wheels on 255/35/19 tires for which Michelin came up with a different model of PS2 specifically for proper fitment on C5 RS6.

Beat me to it by that much... I have bought 3 1/2 sets of these things and every time 1 or 2 out of 4 was the wrong one so you still have to look at them when they show up to make sure they do not have the inner lip as they even screw up at the Michelin distributor. The RS6 version is clearly listed in the actual Michelin order guide so make sure your tire person looks at it.
When the wrong ones show up they can work on the back temporarily, its only the fronts that rub immediately. I had one of the wrong ones on the car and didn't know it till i tried to rotate the tires several thousand miles in to them.
And the tires are worth every penny. Excellent.

This was just 255/35-19 but i would think wider would be worse as it would be even closer to the links/suspension components.

Ok, I have a question here,, Is that ref# (Michelin Order No. 892888 255/35 19Y XL) is know for Michelin dealers worldwide as a part number or its just trierack order number? as I need to check Michelin dealer over here. can I use this order# as a part#? & how much the avg. price for each tyer brand new?
I want to know also if the same issue with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup or not? as I heard its much better than PS2s.

There are so many PS2s at Trierack!! I don't know which one to buy as I can't find also that Order number 892888 to search for. Could you please help in giving the link to the right one you mean.

I have a '03 RS6. Looking for best recommendations to upgrade to 19" tires/rims.
1. What size tire would you recommend most
2. What offset is required for 19" rims...?
As I stated in another string, my CT dealer is strongly recommending NOT to put 19" rims on this car.
Looking for NE owners who deal with older roads where sub-par smooth conditions exist, like CT. Let me know if you're willing to discuss this live with me. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
pumaRS6 :addict:

This should work. See the MTMs in 19 x 9.5. Take a look at the sidewall. Only you can make the decision on risk vs reward. You drive your roads every day and only you know how hard things get pushed. I cant make that call for you.
The Euro RS6 came factory equipped with 19" wheels and 255s. Uhhhh, I have driven on Euro roads.... and cant imagine the roads in CT are worse. Thus, my statement that your dealer is on crack. Not to take it wrong but I dont know how many folks at your dealership have owned a RS6, have driven roads in Europe or even realize that Euro spec RS6s were equipped with 19" wheels.
