    RS4 Tiggy

    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"?

    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?

    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!!

    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.
