Hi,

New user of this forum as I've just put money down on a k plate audi coupe and need some advice on wheels and tyres.

At the moment the car sits on the standard alloys for that model but I haven't the foggiest what size, stud pattern and offset these are. Looking at them the massive tyre wall insults my creative juices so I'd be looking to increase the alloy diameter and reduce the tyre wall.

The car is sat on standard suspension but any advice on what has worked well for others out there. I'm looking for a little lower and stiffer but it's an everyday car and not a track weapon. Comfort for the gf is important too!

I'm not really after what wheels to go for, more what specs people are running to give me an idea of what wheels I can be looking for. For example can 18s be done and still get performance out of the car, or are they going to be too heavy? Would 17s offer better handling?

Hope you can help, and I'll try and get some pics up to show off the new car soon.

Many thanks in advance
