Hmmm...it seems like I'll be OK on the outside with only about a 1/2 inch gain, but inside is almost an inch over stock. I'm gonna need spacers looks like for these to fit.
I 'should' run the RS4 rims with et29 on the ar and the RS6 5 spokes on the RS6.
I appreciate your feedback, thanx. That's a handy calculator, I got to put that link with the tire size calculator now.

This may have been beaten to death but have you seen any difference in your M/T MPGs vs your tip stage 3?

TIP Stage 3 got zero MPG's because of TC code
And Ricam has the S4 trans if I'm correct so the gears are longer, so hopefully it will not be at 3200 rpms at high way speeds, like mine is.

I plan on watching MPG's this week but based on the fact that I am driving it like an old lady to break in the clutch, I am def getting better MPG's LOL
As far as the cruising RPM, that will also be checked out tomorrow since I only really got to drive it on the interstate once and that was the day I brought it home and took the pic. This entire week it will be my daily driver so I will report back.

Hey ricam - love your conversion. As a fellow 6MT driver, I know you'll find it's good value no matter what the cost.
I haven't followed your earlier threads and right now I feel too lazy to do a search, so forgive me if you've already covered this ground: did you do anything to your suspension when you went St III, or is it stock? Any recommendations?
Thanks

Yup...I basically upgraded when maintenance was due.
Gen II airbags, Bilstein revised shocks, H-Sports, all new mounts, Level 1 daily driving and just the 18" wheels and tires. Oh and keep the rear cargo divider net installed as that is like a rear stabilizer bar
