Lee551247 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Does anyone know if the Audi 19" TTS wheels will fit an Audi S3 (ie correct offset etc) Is anyone running 19"s on an S3 on here? Does it screw up the ride and handling because at the minute it drives and handles perfectly and i do not want to lose that by going to 19"s. Also will it need lowering if i put 19's on?? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snixon89 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 iv put 19s onto my a3, and iv lowered the car by 40mm because it looked like a 4x4 when they were on but the ride is more firmer and i can feel alot more bumps on the road but nothin that will make me go back, to me its all fine!

Mook Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Which TTS and which S3? If it's Mk1 TTS and Mk1 S3, then yes, and if it's Mk2 TT and Mk2 S3 then yes, but not across the two. The earlier ones have a PCD of 100, the current ones have a PCD of 112. No, you won't need to lower the car if you put 19" wheels on it. You'll get a much firmer ride (there's less of the tyre to absorb the bumps). Make sure you match your rolling circumference of the new tyres to your old ones - you can check here Tire size calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 they should, i think the S3 has a different tyre size to the TT, but wheel stud pattern is the same / ET similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamiekip Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 They will fit I believe, but the offset is slightly different meaning you're running close on the rear arches. There is a screw in the rear arch that holds the bumper sides flush with the rear 3/4 panel. You can ditch the screw and it causes no problems. I think the TT-S runs 255 tyres, but on the s3 you'd need to go 235/35 I've just put 19"s on mine actually: My car is lowered on H&R springs (-25mm) to finish the look. You could just add wheel spacers (10mm at each wheel or 12mm if you don't mind removing the screw on the rear arch) : With spacers only: With Spacers and lowered: Without spacers: Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I really like that S3 wheel... I thin I prefer it to the S-Line wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - I like that version of the S3 wheel - real shame they felt the need to change it as I thought it was great. I also prefer to the s-line alloys, far nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
