Shep's 8P Audi A3

Picked it up this weekend.

Need to stop the damn thing from rubbing now, any ideas people??

Booked in at Jabba tomorrow for a remap =D

Love this

Is it just the rears that rub? Probably only way to stop it is to have the arches rolled

Fronts and rears....i tried ringing ArchEnemy earlier but had no reply at all, sakes!!

Any ideas where to take it?

looks good!

you tried asking Mik / MV develpoments?

Cheers man!
MV Developments, where are these based mate?

just ask in their section on here mate.

they are based near Royston

nice car mate, loved my old one. dont really like the wheels though.

Bet itll be scrubbing on the top at the top of the front arch for the arch liner, and on the rear where the bumper joins. Rear arches are rolled as standard, so only flaring them will help. i had to do quite abit of dremeling on my old 1.

This is the 1 i saw on fordham bypass. looks sick on the move

The scrubbing is driving me crazy, dont have a clue what to do really??

Its going to end up doing damage i think!!

Nah the gold is not my favourite at all!!

Like the car but the wheels really don't do it for me, imo they're far too large for the car.

They are ridiculous man, trying to get hold of some Bentley splits now.
No adaptors and 9j all round will be much better i think.

Good ol James just had a look at my car this morning, turns out the suspension is little buggery jacked....just ordered up some AP coilovers and had to cancel on Jabba

Nice car mate! I really like this shape A3! But im going to agree with the masses on the wheels!

What are the widths/et's on them? Might be interested if you ever sell!

Not sure on the ET's to be honest mate?
But the fronts are 9j and the rears are 10j

They will be for sale in the near future mate, just got to sort out some new rims first

Off the top of my head they're around the et45 mark. 45 up front 48 on the rears, but I may be wrong

If thats the case, then that'll be one hell of a mission to get on the 1er Jim.
8.5 up front and 9 on the rear would be the maximum you'd wanna run dude. You should know that by now, especially with those tyres!

9's would be a mission at the front as 8.5 is really as wide as they can be without f*****g up the arches but 10's at the rear with that offset is actually spot on, seen a couple of 1ers running that width/et combo with no problem at all.

19's would look mahooosive on a 1 series.

I beg to differ:



But anyway, you got any ideas for new rimmage - these can look fully sick when done well, look at matty's old one!

I think running undersized wheels for so long has faded you judgement

Stinger!

Back on topic, the Audi looks nice but the wheels aren't to my taste.
Bentley's would look nice, especially Matty's style versions.

If you're into monoblock style wheels, how about some TSW Holstens or some Mandrus Emil's?
Holsten's look sick on most newer VAG cars...

this is gonna look sick in the coming weeks
