I am considering fitting the European 19" rims to my RS6 - Has anyone upgraded the tire size on their RS6- either in 18" or 19" rims? I'd like to bring the size up a few sizes but definitly do not want to get into clearance issues.
Any suggestions, recommendations and experiences would be most welcome
Thanks

I have BBS LMs in 19s, 19X8.5 all around and no clearance issue whatsoever.

Did you stick with the stock size tires? I would like to bring the tire size up to 275/40 -19

You will def. have problems with that size. I went with 255/35/19.

Do you have pics of the LM's on the RS6? Would love to see it.
Anyone know where to get the 19" 5spoke rims in the states?
Thanks
