Question

[Hacosta]

Hello everyone,
Just bought an S3/2022, car is being delivered to El Salvador, understand that the version that they send to Mexico and Central America (El Salvador); is different to the one they send to the USA. Car comes with 18” rims and would like to install 19”, some people tell me I cant because the suspension is not set up for the 19’s, is that true? What could happen?
Thanks all,
H

I can't think of a reason 19s would not work, the car comes with 18s stock and 19s are offered as a factory option. I have the factory 19s and a set of spark 17s for snow. 034 Motorsports has nice stud/nut kits now if you want to convert to studs to allow easier wheel changes (winter/track).

you should be able to run a 19' wheel on the car with no issues. The only difference is you will have a smaller tire thread due to the wheel being bigger.
