Tomasz: any update on your wheel/tire fitment? Here's the pic I was sent of 245/35-18 GS-D3's on B5.

LOL...seriously though, you think I'll have any trouble with 245/35 GS-D3's on 18x8.5 ET35?
They are actually the same exact width as many 235's that people are running, and even a bit shorter diameter in some cases. My fenders are rolled and I don't plan to slam (just a minor drop with Streetsports).

They fit fine, but...
Since the O.D. is smaller and therefore the wheel height os smaller, it makes the car look like an Allroad.
Now mine, right now is at 26" high - that is at least 1 inch too high. So you would be looking t 25" all around before it looks good.
I am wondering is 235-40-18 would be a better choice.
Now, they do fit w/o rubbing at 26" fender height.
Sorry, but you will need to wait for the allroad pictures.

the O.D. is only about 1/4" smaller than stock. doesn't sound like it'd be that bad.
26" is a little high though.
do you have the same width/offset wheel as fairenough? without that, your experience and his could be completely different, even at the same ride-height.

Nope. Thought u knew I got em a while ago. Zev shipped some SS to a guy in NYC instead of TS.
Got a good deal for them by going to pick them up myself. Just haven't gotten them installed yet.
