RS4 Tiggy

[Pullstarter]

Did some photochopping and below is the result. About a 3-4" drop and some RS4 rims, what size do you reckon they would be? I'm thinking that's probably bigger than 20"?

Yep, thats pretty much what I've been thinking all along ..... Need to see the upcoming VW Sports bodykit urgently now ....

Just think about it Jason, 2.0T (Stg 3) + AWD .......

I'm thinking with the scale in that photochop the wheels would be above 20", maybe 22"? Don't think I'd want to go above 20"s personally. I think the right drop with 20"s will look pretty damn sweet though. H&R do a 30-40mm drop spring and ABT about the same (35mm-45mm I think?) but the ABTs are HIDEOUSLY expensive, roughly twice the price of the H&Rs. Coilovers would also be an option, I beleive H&R already do some of those for the Tiggy but I'm not really convinced if I want a ride that firm. Think I'm getting too old for hard a$$ suspension

I guess the only other thing is are you going to lose your warranty when you start stuffing around with lowered suspension etc?

Bought those same wheels in 18" today..... It will be here by Tuesday and waiting for the Tig to arrive.

Dude!! That's not fair!!! LOL I enquired into some rim and tyre prices today, suffice to say I don't think I'll be going 20"s. The tyres are so damn expensive!!

What size and brand? I got quoted $420 a tyre for Falken 452's in 245/35/20 I think it was and $250 a tyre for Maxxis in the same size.

yoko's, Mich's or Bridgestones - all around the same price.

Tyres for the 18"s are 235-50-18.

The sidewall is thicker and a bit more absorbent on road imperfections than 19"s or 20"s and much much cheaper.

You can get Goodyear F1 DS-G3s in that size and IMO they are simply the best performance tyre out there .......

Plus they look awesome. I'm getting them before the 4-for the price of 3 deal runs out.

What's the regular price on those Sharkie?

235-50-18 - Priced at Bob Jane

Yokohama Advan STs $397.00 each http://www.yokohama.com.au/ourtyres/tyre.aspx?tyreid=70
Goodyear DS-G3 $540.00 each (I don't think they wanted to sell me these so made up a ridicilous price.)
Falken ZA912s $354.00 each

I'm likely going with the Yokies (Std fitment to top of the range Porsches and BMWs) but still need to get a price from Goodyear and Bridgestone themselves.

Bridgestone would have to be RE050As http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/treads/re050a.aspx

Not sure if Falken make that size in the 452 but they're a damn nice tyre
