Stretched Tyres

[greyfloppyhat]

Im running 215/35/19's too! i have mine right down at the back witht he adjuusters out so the arch sits right on the wheel, i get no scrubbing or anything though as my wheels arent spaced. the front sits about 10mm off the tyre.



^^^^^^ you running that low on coilovers? are your arches rolled?

Yea just coilovers Noel, that picture makes it look a bit lower than it is but it's not far off

Running this low at the minute, it's only ever me really in the car and admittedly I've not been far in it like this but no issues what so ever with rubbing in the bends or anything though I'm not a fast driver by any means.

Your tyres must be a fair size as I've always thought there a decent enough amount of room in the leons rear arches

Hi mate you got anymore pics of the car with these wheels on

Cheers

loads of them in the original silver if that helps and you want some straight away. Otherwise I'll go out this weekend and get you some

Any chance of a close up with the tyres?? Still debating the stretch!!

Thanks

Sorry mate, I thought I had but looking through it I was obviously thinking of the ones I linked in, which probably weren't as close as you were looking.

What' your concern about running the 215's?

Really depends on the rim mate, I've seen pictures of Noels car and the tyre appears to sit perfectly flush, on mine there's a slight lip....what alloys do you have?

Audi S5's (Which from your signature is the same as you).

 

[greyfloppyhat]

My signatures wrong, I got the Y spoke A5 wheels mixed up with the S5 alloys, like yours. I'll post pics of mine up when I get a chance anyway to see what you think

Views - I don't like stretched tyres visually or for safety reasons.

Thoughts - get smaller wheels.

Humm ... not an issue with the wheels ... it is an issue with how low i have the car.
I will slightly agree with the safety aspect 235 rims running 215 do add a slick edge to the tyre.


But ...

Booked in for Front & Rear Arch Rolling on Saturday.
This will sort out the front, sadly i am going to have raise the rear by 5-10mm.

This is what we need to know!

How WIDE are your wheels? not diameter..

 

[M6TT F]

he said it in his post.... 9 and 10"
