Default A8 Wheels

Anyone know if an 18x8.5" wheel with et35 backspacing will fit on a 99 A8? Thanks!

Default As long as the bolt spacing is correct, and you use the correct tire, yes it will fit.

Check out RYoung's table for wheel/tire sizing here:<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html">http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html</a</li></ul>

18x8.5 ET35 is no problem.

Tires would be

245/45-18
255/45-18

See mine with 20x9.5 ET30 with 255/35-20 all around. (by the way they are for sale)

Default Since you have 9.5" wide ET30 wheels ...

Do you think a 265/40-18 would clear the fenders and front upright on an 18x9.5 ET30 wheel? There are some great tires available in this size, like the BFG KD and the Pirelli PZero Corsa.

Th OD of the 265/40-18 is about 0.3" smaller than the S8's OE 245/45-18, and about 0.6" smaller than the 255/35-20.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html">Audipages A8/S8 tire options</a></li></ul>

<center><img src="http://www.colour-tuning.de/galerie/audi/images/a8003-03-gr.gif"></center><p>265/40-18 will not work on the front. 255/45-18 is allowed all around.

Here a picture of an A8 we modified.

KW V1 Inox Line Coils
Tracer Tech1 3-piece rims
Front 18x9,5 with 245/40-18
Rear 18x11 with 285/35-18

More info contact me
