if i get 15" rims will they fit the stock tire or do i need new tires also

superjeer

depending on how wide the new rims are, yes.

Desnudate883

well what size will fit or what is the width or the rim

there is a sticky-FAQ on wheel fitment, right at the top of this forum. it has this info in it. just inches away...

Sid_xBicious

it will still fit on 15x8(see Stylis box).

15" wheels will fit stock tires. Everyone seems to have a different idea as to what width to go with. I read a lot about it on this board before I bought my 15's. I ended up with 15x7, I think stock is 6.5 if I am not mistaken. Some seem to think there are safety comprimises when you try to go to wide. Not sure how true that actually is.
Got these bad boys from discount tire for 90 a piece....not bad.

I forget who has them, but someone has a thundercloud with rewinds that look really slick. I think those are pretty affordable as well.

i have my stock tires with my 15s.

Do you mean these?



They cost about $100 each and weigh only 14lbs each. They are extremely easy to keep clean - the easiest rims I have had yet.

mattxb

Yes indeed.
Did I read somewhere that you switched back to stock springs?

Regardless........ Those wheels look great.

Dude those are exactly the rims that I have been looking for. My wife and I both like them. Is their any chance you can post a full side view of your ride. We are expecting to take delivery of our RS3 in about two weeks.

Yes, I switched back to stock springs. I like the look of the stock ride height better with 15" rims - YMMV. I also did not like my car bottoming over speed bumps.

I also put some Koni rear shocks on - that gave a hugely better ride. The rear is still a little stiff - I am going to put on XA springs next. The XA springs are slightly softer, but have the stock ride height.

Here is a side view of my car:

Since this has turned into a 15" showoff, see this thread for lotsa 15" pics.

I kept my tires, 6.5" wide wheel.

Awesome. Those are definately the rims for us. The only thing that we might do is run a spacer on the rears to even it up a bit with the bodywork. Thanks for the side shot, good looking ride btw.

too bad they dont make the other version of the wheels in 4x100 they look so much better low offset too
