That'll look fine if you don't want stretch.

I don't want a ton of stretch. I don't want too much tire either though. Would 215s for the front be better?

Does your A3 have quattro?

If not staggered tires will be fine. I know on Rory's car he has 215/40s and 225/40s, and its a decent stretch, upping by 1 size from there wouldn't be much of a stretch, so I mean depends on how the wheels fit as well (something alot of people skip over).

Nope, it's not quattro, so I'm not worried about the staggered setup.

Since I'm just gathering stuff now I'm trying to get it all figured out. I don't want to just throw the stuff on. I need to figure out if I need an adapter for the hubs. If I remember correctly MB hubs are larger than Audi hubs.


I like that right there. So 225 it is for the front.

That's a 225/40 on the 9.5, the stretch up front is pretty similar 215/40. I think its ideal for not a crazy stretch but still looks good. And definitely allows the wheels fit.

Even if it was Quattro, they're good +/-3-4% of rolling diameter difference.

Meh still something I wouldn't want to risk.

Oh ok. I will start looking for tires then. I need to get the car up in the air so I can test fit the wheels.


EDIT

I broke a hundred posts.

That's directly from the manufacturer of the AWD systems.
