Back to OEM+

Finally got the new tyres delivered this week, so took my new wheels in to be tyred up. Only time to take a quick pic as the light was fading, but will get some better ones tomorrow. (suspension will have settled back down by then too!)

Wheels are 8 1/2 x 18 genuine Audi parabol with 225/40 tyres and 20mm spacers on the rear axle.

I like that, nice clean lines and the wheels suit the car well.

What rubber you running?

one of my favourite oem wheels...

...have you left it on axle stands in that pic? :/

225/40/18 eagle f1's, they've got a small stretch but are one of the widest tyres due to the thick rim protector band.

Penski, it's sat higher than usual due to just coming off the jacks but coilovers are on order now I've finally got the wheels I want (unless I fall across some 19" Helios or someone happens to have 4 gallardo front wheels!!)

nineteens would be complete overkill.

as much as I love gallardo fronts, keep them to rs4s and 6s.

205 rubber would let you wind those coilovers right down too
