You could always Euro look it by fitting the 9.5 with 235/35-19 ?

Think about it logically though....

Standard RS3 has 8J 50 ET 19” rears with 225 tyres.....

You want to put a 9.5J rim on which will need maybe 265/275 tyres on to look anything like sane..

The rim alone (if you adhere to 50 ET) will be 19mm closer to the strut and 19mm further out.....


Carlos Fandango springs to mind.😂

For those of you too young to know wtf I'm talking about Google the T.V. advert.

Ahh they don't make 'em like they used to.🙄

Yes but they don't fit through farm gates and are only sold to cigar smokers.

Haha hardly.  I had to google it.

 

It's a shame Audi went balls out on the fancy composite big front wings then did f*ck all with the back.  If i ever need the rear 1/4's painted in future, bigger rear arches will be on the cards.

The 8P was limited run and came at the end of that chassis life cycle

It was probably more like Audi wanting to shift whatever body shells they had left over along with parts.

On the 8V RS they don’t seem too concerned with flared arches at all, but it’s all extra cost to them and these days it’s all about making as much profit as possible.

Guys do you think a 9” wide rim with et53 will work and not touch the strut which will be 11.4mm closer, I’m not too sure
