Does anyone have pictures of...
...Black Sport Edition A7 rims 8inch on all 4 corners with 235/40/18 tires. Prefer E92 M3 but any E9X is fine.
Ordered them a few days ago, waiting on arrival. I'm thinking if I should have gone with 245's all around. Hopefully they don't look TOO bad ![]() Thanks guys ![]() |

Based on the tire size and wheel width I'm guessing these are winter wheels - a narrower wheel is better than a wider wheel in the snow because it will tend to plow less thru the snow. Now, the car certainly won't be great to drive in the dry with a narrow tire with soft tread blocks and side walls - be careful!
Not sure if you'll find someone with pictures because I think the black A7 was just released this year. Time to photoshop... |

What are the offsets on the wheels? Did TireRack recommend running spacers or are the offsets correct? |

235 is the factory spec winter tire
so if you trust the M engineers, you should be ok with what they tested, and preferred

I'm use to driving with dedicated winter tires (PA3) on my previous E90 non-M so I guess it should be the same principle. I purchased 18x8 et20, with Bridgestone WS60 235/40/18, all around. These offsets are good for the ///M, I was thinking about spacers to make them sit a bit more flush, do you think that would be a good or bad idea or no difference. Perhaps 10mm all around.. Quote:
