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.

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.

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.

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.
