Magnet Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hello Jon, What profile are you intending to fit instead of the current 55? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon caveman Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hi Magnet, hoping to fit some 17" 235s wheels and tyres off an A4. what are your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon caveman Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Sorry, forgot the important bit lol, they're 45 profile 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks Jon, Now we need to do some maths relating to larger diameter wheels and lower profiles - thanks for that! I will get back to you. Wider tyres and not fouling anything? Sorry cannot help on that. I guess you are aware that you are going to lose some ride comfort in moving to a lower profile tyre. Are you happy to compromise that for some fancier looking wheels? I guess yes. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon caveman Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Thanks Gareth...we're just contemplating the change at the moment, your thoughts are welcome 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquirrel Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well the A3 S-line wears 225/40/18s on lower springs, and isn't close to rubbing, so I would have thought so. Can you try them on first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon caveman Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Good shout..It's possible I guess, I can ask the guy selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
