Whats the fitment like of the 235's in the arch's? I've always wondered if 235's would fit. Do you have any issues on full-lock?

Fitment is fine  :happy2:
When I had the 19's put on the tyres do catch when you go through some rough roads, like potholes or nasty bumps, so I was even more worried about them catching when the cars dropped, but they are just the same tbh! If anything, having the stiffer springs helps and they don't touch at all on full lock either! So go for it  :happy2:

Interesting stuff. Could you just confirm the offset of the RS6 Replica's?

Basically you've proven that the arch's will take 235 width tyres, possiblity 245 = more grip!

Not 100% sure but off the top of my head I think the wheels are 5x112 and 45 offset, got them from wheelbase. As for 245 width, don't know about that, might be too wide as the RS6 alloys are right on the edge of the arch line!

Cheers Tom, created it using a photo I took at the weekend and some chopping to give it some speed!  :smiley:
...and you may notice that it says GTTDI-R but when I signed up I accidentally put in an extra 'T'!! lol

Thought I'd update this, but after the fun at SC and a slightly improved map, going by stats I've found through various online resources, with the output of my car being at:
189/190 bhp and 315lb/ft torque
this puts me on near enough on par with a BMW 123d (201bhp and 295lb/ft), which has a 0-60 time of 6.8, so my GTTDI must be close if not 7secs, which makes me smile  :grin:
