Rolling diameter needs to be the same front and rear. By fitting wider tyres at the rear, you would be adding to the S2's handling woes, so it's not worth doing really. 245s would fit on an 8" and 9" rim, if you did want to do that but at about £1500, it's a big gamble. Better off using spacers to sort the stance out IMO.

your right I will buy 8x18 but want to have the wheels as far out as possible

What ET ? 30?

Tires 225/40? 235/40?

Thanks for all the help

the cyclic argument that occurs when spending lots of money

What size of tyre? With 225 wide, you could run ET30 but wider tyres might hit the outer arch under heavy load. ET32 should work (based on Error's experience with 245 tyres.

ET35 and 225 tyres are tried and tested to death and will give you cheaper tyres too this is undoubtedly the safe option.

You could run 5mm or 10mm spacers and see how you get on, with the option of going back to a safe setup for track days or hooliganism.

So... what tyres are you looking at running?

I will go for Yokohama Advan A048. ?

Is 245/40 not wide for a 8" ??

If you go 245 on an 18 you need to get 245/35 to keep the rolling radius correct. 245 is wide, you'll need to run spacers on ET35 to clear the steering arm on the front.

stupid me

Think I will go for ET 32 and 225/40-18

[Error404]

That will look great

I forgot to say I run 15mm hub-centric spacers at the rear with mine so effectively ET20 on the rear

Should I buy ET 20 to the rear ??

[Error404]

Personally I would buy the same fitment all round, but you could use a lower rear offset, it will definitely fit. As standard the rear track is 12mm narrower than the front.

How low do you plan to run the car? Mine is on KW V1s but not a low as many people seem to go.... if it was much lower it would probably scuff the arch liners at the rear and the arches at the front

I also drive with KW V1

That's just painfully

Swear i've seen it before and I love it

[audi rs2 1995]

I just think, that they are too big and too heavy even though they are orignale lm.

maybe I'm crazy

[Error404]

You are running very low compared to me, so I would be careful with the low offsets and 245s - or you could raise the car a bit, and have better handling as a bonus
