Vehicle: A4 2002, quattro, sport,
Current stock sport setup:
235/45 17" rim width 7'5, offset 42
I like the looks of wide tire, wheel cambo.
Thinking of getting either:
245/45 17" on 8'0 or 8'5 rim with 35 offset
or
255/40 18" on 8'5 rim, 35 offset
(speedometer 2.8% too slow, no biggie)
or
255/45 17" on 8'5 or 9'0 rim, 35 offset
(speedometer 2.8% too slow, no biggie)
Tire that will be put on is Yokohama ES100.
245 - 9'8" tire width
255 - 10'4" tire width
Rims that I will get, will be lighter than my actual 26lb stock rim. So I can say weight of the wheel will not change much.
I have searched and read all over for the answers but did not find much.
Questions:
1. Will all setup fit ?
2. Any rubbing under the load ?
3. How will my drive quality change if I go 18" rim ?
4. With 18" will my ride be rougher ?
4. Will stering response suffer ?
5. Will it be harder to drive ?
Thx
Sorry for spelling mistakes

The widths you are proposng for youself are fairly agressive & would need modifications to the car if you can acommodate them.
Feel free to call me to discuss your fitment/questions if you like.
