I really quite like these Alloys but it is just a pity that they only come in the RRS size the 275 x 40 x 20 ……

So what is the difference between RRS and FFRR rims, is it the PCD or ET? |

The ET number is the amount of offset the wheel has, which is more important than the wheel width |

there is only 4mm difference between the RRS rims and the fullfat ones , so nothing to worry about, but the 255/50/20 fullfat tyre size is only recommended to fit a 8.5j rim so you'll have to find some bigger tyres ie 275/45/20.. ... - .- -.

Just read on the net that 255 will be fine on a 9.5J rim |

The Audi has a 9J wheel and a 255 section tyre. |
