How about a pic from the rear showing the tire width? Also another one from the rear but showing the drivers side of the car so you can see how well the wheels fill the fenders?

Like the stance, but I couldn't run those tires on my roads! Still running DRC?

The look is ok but 255s look stretched on 10s and running different height tires on Quattro seems like a mistake to me.

Also putting wider tires on the back only makes understear worse.

Personally I would have gone with 275/30/19s all around.

I was on the track last Friday on this setup, car holds crazy. No understear. H&R and DRC rocks. I tried different tires (have my own tire shop) including 285/35/19 and 275/35/19 and 275/30/19. They look and different. 265/35/19 came to be the best on the rear.

The car looks great accept for the tacky graphic on the rear door and fender LOL....

So the different width tires are ok? Earlier posts on this were not promising for handling.

Enjoy!!

Matching Tires on Four-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive Vehicles -- http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=18&

Near bottom of page ... "Audi As published in their vehicle owner's manual, "rolling radius of all 4 tires must remain the same" or within 4/32-inch of each other in remaining tread depth."

According to the calculator I used the the difference on your setup minimally exceeds this recommendation. But it is not like you will be voiding the warranty.

DITTO: Except I used 5mm spacers up front only. Rears fitted and looked fine without them. Also used 275-30-19's all around. H&R coilovers at every corner. Coral Springs AUDI did the 4 wheel alignment. Amazingly with the 10" wide rims and the aggressively lowered stance there is absolutely no wheel rubbing at all, and all factory alignment specs were attainable. . I am extremely pleased with the outcome. As a matter of fact while I was at the dealership even amongst a few V10 R8's my car was the show stopper. Everyone complimenting the wheels and the overall appearance of the car.

Looks great! What is the ET on these wheels? Also do you know what they weigh in at?

I don't remember the weight of the wheel itself, but the wheel tire combination weighed less that the factory wheel tire combination. My factory combination weighed in at about 56lbs. Whereas this combination weighed in at about 54lbs. The ET is 35. The tires are Hankook Ventus V12's. Very wide and aggressive looking tires.

Thanks. I am waiting on a set of OZ Ultraleggera HLT 10x19 ET32s with 275/30/19 PS2s that should weigh in combine around 48lbs per corner on the car. Running stock springs on DRC.

ETA -- 8 days plus shipping .............

If your lucky with that ET you might get by with out spacers. Otherwise you will need at least a 2mm spacer to keep the rim of the Wheel bearing housing. The OZ's are very nice rims, good luck with them.

Don't know. I am looking into it. A set of OEM caps would be nice. I will let you know what I come up with.
