18's or 19's on a Audi B5

[Belinko]

If you have 19's do you have to do any fender or wheel well mods? If you have 19's are you more likely to trash your wheel and tire? If you have 19's, would you talk your car into the snow?
If you have 18's do you get the same look of 19's? If you have 18's are the tires any cheaper? If you have 18's is difficult to find tires?

Thanks,
Belinko
(currently on 17's)

I have 18's, no problems finding tires and my front fenders I had to roll. Everything depends
on the rims you choose.

How do I roll the front fenders to fit 18's or 19's? What part of the front fender needs to be rolled?

What part of the front fender needs to be rolled? How can I roll them myself?

mike at pure motorsport rents a roller for $50, or you can use a baseball bat. Of course 18's look smaller than 19's and yes tires are cheaper with 18's, I myself have 19's

s430luke,

Do you take your car up into the snow? Have you ever bent a rim? Have you replaced your tires yet?

[s430luke]

im a avid snowboarder though I havent this year (acl surgery) so I cant tell you yet. I have toyo proxes 4 which are suposse to be good all weather tires. If it dumps up their ill take the fiances car!! My wheels are real new so no bent rims or tire replaced yet.

get 18x8.5 and roll the front fenders they look great!!!

[s430luke]

if your worried about snow etc. get 18s they are more convienient than 19s, almost everyone I know run 18's ecept for myself on b5's

[mario]

yeah, on the b5 run 18's....18's are becoming more and more popular and are even OE on some cars now...that means tires will get cheaper...

i see 19's on b6's all the time but 19's on the b5's are a bit much and look out of place....

[lavetaaxon]
