DundeeDub 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 the audi rims are only 6 inchs wide so you'll be losing width and thus grip, i wheel spin enough on the 6.5's let alone using 6's, its not much difference but it will be noticable when you drive the car Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 and you'll be paying alot more than Link to post Share on other sites
B6MFD 0 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 the existing are 6.25 wide aint they? and if using the same tyres wont i have the same amount of grip? same width tyre? Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 the standard's are 6.5", i'm 99% sure of it, yeah if you use the same tyres you'll have the same foot print on the floor but due to the tyre being too wide for the alloy you'll feel it when you go round a corner, not a nice feeling at speed, thats why high performance cars use lower profile tyres.
