Default Nope. To see it on a B6

do a search for 'pimpluxa4' or 't3t4hybrid' and check the PP.

I've got 19 x 8's and 19 x 9's. Check LLTek: pictures of the Rieger kit to get an idea of how they'd look (they have 9 and 10's on the silver car).

By the way, 9.5's on the rear would look phat sitting at the car show. However, with the sport suspension and a nice lip they would rub during everyday driving.

But no one else you meet would have that size (envy potential???).

Just my two cents...

Default Bhvrdr - thanks for previous tire suggestions...

I'm getting much better wear out of my tire setup after getting the alignment (last year post).

However, for us non-track-days drivers, maybe a minus on the cornering is offset by the plus on the rim setup (not once have I wanted thinner rims). If you can't afford an S4, maybe it's okay to rock some larger rims and look sportier?

Default For a street car, I wouldnt think a slightly heavier 19 would matter to anyone...

but staggering them (putting a wider stance or wider tires to the rear) will mean worse handling in the rain and snow due to increased traction to the rear in a car that overstears. Glad your tires are wearing better. cheers! Mike

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does staggered mean? What does forged mean?

Default Re: wheel size question... (prolly a stupid one)

..what really is the advantage of having a larger rim?

I know they look cool, too - but how does it help performance?
