Default S8 to Tire Rack in South Bend ? Hartmann Wheels ? Help needed !

Still looking for a winter wheel/tire option for a 2007 S8. If anyone can get to Tire Rack in South Bend you'd be helping owners throughout the midwest and northeast to keep there cars on the road this winter. Audi doesn't seem to be able to help. Suggestions ?

Default Bucky, have you used their sight yet? By phone or internet

they are easy to deal with. The only problem, if there is one, is that the S8 is too new such that tests havent been finished yet on the tires for the car. If you wish, give me your tire size, wheel size and what size you want to run for the winter and Ill find ya somethin`!

Default I just noticed that Gary from TR posted what seemed to be

a rather lucid answer to your question. Why would you post this again?

Default Bucky, just look at the Audi Germany website. IMHO the answer is there

The car comes with a 9Jx20 rim and can be fitted with other 9Jx20 rim designs from quattro GmbH. I am almost certain that these are all ET35 offset. I have a set of the quattro GmbH 20 inch 9 spokes.
The winter wheel options in Germany are:
a 235/45 R19 tire fitted on an 8Jx19 rim or
a 245/40 R19 tire fitted on an 8.5Jx19 rim
Again, I am almost certain you will find that these are ET35 offset.
Isn't this the answer you are seeking?

I think he is asking an S8 owner to take it over to Tire Rack for measurements.

Default He is. Unfortunately for me it is 3 hours there, "a couple of hours" measuring ..

and 3 hours back.
No really practical. Plus, the answers are on www.audi.de and use the S8 configurator
