Hi all,
The wheels on my S3 need replacing. I understand the Chim wheels will fit, but the rears are larger - do any adjustments have to be made to the vehicle to accommodate them?

Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions for replacement wheels??

Like these do you mean? Why not just get 4 "front" ones?

I run my V8S on a set of ex-Griff Oz split rims, which are the same size as Chim's.

You need to use a slightly lower profile tyre on the rear to maintain the rolling radius.

I use Dunlop SP9000's Z rated all round. 225 x 45 x 16 on the rear and 205 x 55 x 15 on the front.

Good tyre wear too.
