From Audi 100 to urS4 in a week

Anything with a larger rolling radius will raise the gearing, i.e. lower the revs on the engine. You may not notice os much on a V8 with all the torque available from low down, but with turboed and NA multivalve engines you end up labouring them, and your speedo goes out too.

Usually the speedo reeds higher than the GPS so that is not an issue.
I did notice a decrease in acceleration on my 2.8 cabby with 235 45 17 though, but then that (Bolero) wheel/tyre combo was much heavier than the 10 spoke Speedlines with 205 60 15 tyres.

Anyone know the name/OE number for these?

[quattrostyle]

Bolero, as in my post above yours.

Cheers, what sizes do they come in?

[quattrostyle]

From memory, 7,5 and 8J in 17'' and different ET's as well.
I believe there is a set for sale on here at the moment.

Sounds good, I think they look very nice on C4s. Found two sets both are 4x108, so no good for me.

They are easier and cheaper in 5x112 usually. I bought a set for €250,- incl. good tyres.
I think you should be able to acquire a set if you open a thread in the wanted section.

Will do once I sort the important things out. As always, juming ahead of things

Thanks mate.

I believe the UrS4 ran higher tyres than an S2 from factory anyway?

225/50/16 v 205/55/16 so wider but the diameter.

17s are a halfway compromise.

[quattrostyle]

I see, diameter is about the same. Still I think a higher tyre won't do the looks much harm

What was the original size on the V8?

They look very good, I think 225/50/17 is the way to go

[quattrostyle]

I believe the original 15'' wheels on it came with 215 60 15 tyres

Seen them yes, but I dont have spare cash now. And first I need to get the car on the road and sort the important things out. And might even stay on 18s with 225/45 tyres.

Jumping ahead of myself as usual.
