      The TTS from about 5 years ago had 225 on the front and 235 on the rear, now that's legal
      No its not!!

      It is illegal to have different sizes on the SAME axle, front and rear are irrelevant. Why would it be illegal?

      It is normal to have wider on the back sure, because cars that normally do it are RWD, there is no law about it!

      My car has wider on the front than rear.

          its not doing it for me - unless we rip the heart open and start unleashing its true potential...........

          would be interesting looking out for crashed RS3's to transplant the guts into an S2/4? 340bhp is nothing really although I bet it feels quick in this format!

            Why oh why do they have to use the pig ugly Sportback as the prototype? Don't they want to sell any???!!!
            Sportback? No, A3 estate. Simple.

            A3 = 3 doors. End of.
            Sportback, my ****.

            RS3 will be nice in the 3 door frame though.

              RS should be wagon/estate (or sportback in this case). That was the original concept, and they should stick to it.
