Ok I was driving down a local street and saw a set of 4 yok's for $75 with barely any wear on them, so I decided to jump on them before someone else did. I currently have the stock tires (215/45/17) sitting on S-techs. The new tires are 235/45/17. I was wondering if anyone was running the same set up and if they will fit without rubbing. It looks like it will be close but before I go through the trouble of mount/balance I figured I would ask...

 

your rim offset might go into play on this one and how wide your rims are? could roll your fenders also

 

assuming this is for your RS3 on oem rims, 235s will not fit

 

thats not what i wanted to hear lol...bump

 

True! While a 235 can be installed, it's not really safe, they're too wide for a 7" wheel.

 

235 is mad wide. I thought 225 on my 7 was wide.

 

If you upgrade to a 17x8 wheel with an offset of 40 or higher, you can put those 235 series tires on your ride.

 

Technically, it's a bit too wide (although lots of people do it), as 225 is optimal for a 7.5" wheel. 225 is fine on 7" wheels when using a 50 or greater aspect ratio.
