Default Wheel/Tire Question?
I'm looking at getting some 18" RS4 reps. What size, tire combo should i get to maintian the same overall diameter as the stop sport 17s? And what difference will ET35 make over ET30, will they stick out a little more? thanks

Default An ET35 won't stick out as much as an ET30...also, you'll want a 235/40/18 to keep diameter.
IMO, I would go with ET35...I have ET35 RS4 replicas with 235/40/18, and the offset is perfect. Even room to drop more from stock sport if I wanted to. Hope that helps.

Default ET30 have a very nice aggressive look
A bit wider stance compared to stock...see my pic poster...I have 18" ET30 RS4 reps

Default ET35 still sticks them out nicely...if you go ET30 your going to rub if lowered...
I rub a bit at an ET32. cheers! Mike

I've asked this question too. If you're lowered an offset between 32ET and 35ET seems ideal.

Default with a 235 tire, you should be able to do up to ET33 in front, and ET28 in the back, and still lower
lower maybe no more than .75. Looks great.
