Has anyone tried fitting 10 inch CIII's on the front?

I recently picked up a set of 8's and 11's and have an opportunity to buy a pair of 10 inch CIII's.

I realize it is a lot of tire for my stock S3, but was wondering nevertheless.

Thanks.

There is no way a 10" ET58 wheel will fit properly in the front of a stock 928. Unless you run "truck" ride height, the tires will contact the fenders and damage them.

Holy thread revival.

Just as a follow up, about a week ago I finally bought a set of Carrera III's, 2.5 yrs after I posted that comment above! Ha ha...

thought I would update this thread as a point of reference with regards to spacer size and 11" rears. I just switched to the 11" rears with 295/35/18 Michelin PS2 using 21mm H&R DRM spacers, which contain the studs to mount the wheel. Factory used the same style of spacer but at 28mm.
Its an absolute perfect fit for my factory GTS flared S4.

^^^ this size is what I had on my S4......fronts were perfect, rears great but depending on tire choice you may need to roll the fenders.
