I didn't plan to be. And I have one set of wheels so rs3's in 285 square will have to be it.

5. And alignment...

... any advantages to setting up alignment for 19" when you are running 18" ?

Shouldn't matter anyways for alignment? You can even do alignment on those metal stands that attach to the lugs in place of wheels.

What wstar said. Wheels don't make the alignment. It's the same at the hub as it is on 22's.

  1. its LOUD
  2. needs time to heat up
  3. near useless in rain

maybe if i lived in southern california where theres hardly ever any rain or below 60 degree temps i could run it as a DD tire. but we get 30-40 degree mornings up here for half of the year
Have you driven the latest version of the RS3? It doesn't sound like you have based on your description. I don't know about loud, but the current RS3 certainly heats up fast enough and is definitely not useless in the rain...well that could be subjective. Are you comparing the RS3 to a Conti DWS?

hmm i think i got old supply so we'll see. my cars gutted so its loud enough so i might not even hear it if they are.
