You guys are killing me

Your car is a S4 Greg? No rub strips, no front markers, GTS mirrors and C3 rims.........superb.

How did you get those 295s on there?

Malcolm,

I am going to be removing my side markers, and rub strips soon too....

The mirrors are a little more than I wish to spend for now.....

If you are interested in a set of them we may be able to make a deal. I have I think around 10-12 sets of rims for my cars

GTS rear quarters on a S4 made putting 295's on simple.

Thanks for the kind words about my car.

You missed the GTS rear fenders. But it is possible to fit 295/30-18 in the rear without them.

I had the front markers replaced with black lenses and I removed the bulbs.....can barely see them. I have GTS mirrors and would love the rub strips to be gone...........another project

Lets talk after the holidays Colin then I can save for rubber before spring.

I too want to move to CIII's and get the Michelin Pilots back on the car -- those were the best tires I've ever put on this car. I guess I need to start saving (again)...
