I bought the wheels used and they came with those tires, they work for now, when its time for new ones i will pick sizing that i find more appropriate.

See above.

I havent measured, now that everything is settled i need to mess with it a little more, driver side rear settled lower than pass side.
Trying to find some time to raise the car up a little actually.

Still funny to see how impractical people get with their sizing and fitment.
There is no other way. Those RS3s run wide, as do many of the competition-type tires these days. Only way is to change tires, have the wheel machined, or dial in some camber.
BLAH! I guess endlinks will have to hold and front camber kit will have to be ordered.
Here are a few pics of the new meat! I am also including a "before" shot when it had the SSR GT3 wheels. I like these soooooo much better! I am on Hotchkis springs, and I did not have to roll the fenders. I had ordered KDW2s, but they were on backorder. So, I went with Continental Extreme Contact DW 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear.
