Since there are so many of us out there with this conversion on our C6 I thought I would start a NEW thread. Since there have been alot of questions regarding the part numbers and number of pieces in the kit to doing just the back half to doing the upgrade on a convertible I thought let's keep it in 1 thread and possiable making it a sticky.
I only did the back 1/2 of my 05 A4.
Rims: Forged Black CCW 500's 18x9.5 and 19x13
Tires: Hoosiers R6's (grooved) 245/40/18 and 345/30/19
Brakes: Stock Z06 Calipers and Rotors with Stoptech brake lines
Here are a few pictures of my set-up.....

My quarters are from Caravaggio and the rest of the parts from Gene Culley. The Tires are GY Supercars in 245/45 front and 325/35 rears on OEM C6Z wheels. Z06 brakes to be installed soon after Powdercoating by Mike the Powdercoater.

Love your car looks great. Question what's up with your gas cap lid; couldn't tell from picture and how much for tires and to get them grooved. On tires I have heard of there capabilities on the track how do they do on the street, cold weather, did you heat cycle, do you have to warm them up before they grab?
Thanks ahead of time.

Hey Cya,
Thank You, The tires grab well as I made a thread on "Tires vs RWTQ" and posted pictures of my twisted driveshaft in there. I'll have to take a look at the invoice for the pricing on the tires for you and I'll shoot you a pm later. Thanks agains, Charlie
Oh ya, The gas cap has a decal on it.....

Widebody infomation (pictures too) to help those that were considering adding this upgrade to their car. With this upgrade you can now run 345's in the rear and help get your RWHP to the ground. That is why I did this upgrade to my car. It was a performance upgrade for me. Looks great too.
