switching wheels from 18" s line to 19" black edition alloys

[Nabeel1231]

Hi everyone, first post here.

I've got a 58 A3 s line sportback with the standard 18" s line alloys. I've found a guy selling some 19" black edition rotor alloys, but I'm not sure whether they'll be a straight swap on my car.

The 18" I've currently got have tires sized 225/40/18, the new 19" alloys will be 255/40/19.

Would really appreciate some help!

Cant say for certain, but there's a good chance the tyres will rub bodywork at full steering lock or full suspension deflection.

You should have a label on the drivers door showing tyre/wheel options and tyres, normally if you increase rim size and keep width you would need to reduce wall height also have you checked offset.

so the guy i was planning to buy off no longer wants a swap, so im holding out for another set to pop up online. Anyone know any good places to look for these? other than eBay, gumtree etc...
