20” rims give little comfort regardless of suspension set up from factory although I did find comfort made a difference in my previous TTS with 20” rims.

A cheaper option would be to look to swap for a genuine set of 19” rims + cash ?

Hello, new here and the proud owner of a 21 plate TTS Quattro BE, 320BHP. I am sure from what I've seen this has been posted a million times, so apologies but I cannot cope with the 20 inch wheels, yes I test drove, very aggressively and for a good period of time, however real world driving these are just too course on UK roads.

My car has the mag-dampers but it makes little difference in Comfort.

Has anyone dropped to 19 inch wheels with a 255/35/19 tyre profile? If so I need to know if it has improved the ride quality? I was in a 2016 MB C Class Coupe Sport with 18 inch wheels and like was like a magic carpet (I miss that comfort now!!!)

Please let me know real world, UK experience and if it vastly improves the ride on 19s as I have money to spend, so its a costly decision - Looking at gloss black Romac rims which look the closest to what I have on the car today. Great car which I love, but needs to be a but softer for my long term sanity.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have a set of 19” original rims with tyres that you could have. They look like this,

They are located in Basildon and i am open to sensible offers for them.

Hi yes, interested if they are in good condition with good tyres...I'm in Essex too.

What are you planning to do with your old wheels - if you are selling them I would interested in either a part ex or cash purchase

Hi, i am open to sensible offers for them including the tyres and centre caps. They can be viewed by appointment if you want to see them.

Ooooooops just realised you were talking about the 20s from the OP lol.

I'm on the 19s on my TTS and the ride quality is good, i did have a drive in a car with 20s and it was too harsh for my taste.

 

I have a feeling the 19s might have a tyre size of 245/35R19, not 255 (at least on OEM 19s). That's the size of the 19s on the TTRS, so would assume the TTS is the same. I believe this is the size that keeps closest to the same rolling radius between the 19s and 20s.

 

correct

I had the 20s on my black edition and 19s on my other tts. I never thought it could make so much difference but the ride was so much better on the 19s.

Shame the 20s look so much better though 😆

 

Thanks. How do I Pm. New to this App also?

Keep the 20"s and put on +5-10 profile? Will fill the wheel well a bit more and raise the height a little, but probably have the clearance. You could go with a slimmer tire too as the profile is a % of width. Your speedometer and mileage will be off somewhat (a few percent). Will They Fit and other wheel/tire calculators can tell you the deltas.

 

I keep banging on about this. I swapped the 255/30/20 tyres on my 20" alloys with 255/35/20s and it's made a world of difference to the ride quality and road noise in the cabin. Speedo is out by a couple of mph, but other than that minor niggle, its the best thing I did with my TT.

 

Just changing the tyre to a different one in the same size can make the world of difference, some have much softer sidewalls than others.

 

The wheels are at Dub Customs in wickford and can be seen at any time. If you can advise me when you will be to see them i can make the arrangements for them to be available.

We can agree on a price after that.

Ok so I could call them then describe the condition etc?

Hello

Had a 2017 TTS with 19 inch wheels on and I know own a 2022 TTS with 20 inch wheels, and find the ride is better than on 19 inch. Have you checked the tyre pressures as this can dramatically effect the ride. Also changing wheels might effect your insurance as your car will not be stock?

 

It’s a valid point and I’d always check. But good to hear 19s solve the issue. 20s are fine when the road is like a sheet of glass, which is rare in the uk.

I’m still looking for a set of 19s for my 2021 TTS. anyone…?

I have a set of 19's from my 2022 S-Line, but they're alloys only without tyres. They're on Gumtree if anyone is interested.
