TT_big_wheel fitment
Just wanting to get a jump on this before anyone else tries how big they can
go...
If you want to know how big a wheel&tire will go on a TT Coupé, I can tell
you that 245/35R19 on an 8" wheel go quite nicely with Eibach springs for an
A3 1.8T. The wheels in question are O.Z. magnesium race wheels (16 spoke)
with a centrelock, complete with a titanium retaining nut and special
adapters to fit the standard hub. The cost of this fun is a measly USD 15
000.00 if you're interested. This effort was completed last night at
Lehtonen Motrsport for the Helsinki Motor Show taking place this weekend.
Looks absolutely astonishing, as if the car was designed for the wheels, or
vice versa. There may be downsides as no dynamic testing has taken place as
of yet there may be a clearance problem yet. At least I can assure everyone
that the car will ride like crap. Oh well, that's not the issue I guess??
