That is on the A2, the A3 is taller. Some guys run 16.00 x 20 at 53" tall, the 14.00 x 20 are 49.5 tall. I will be cutting up my A3 i a couple of weeks to bobb it, all ready have the tires.
I have put 2,300 miles on my A3 now and i push 2,900 to 3,000 rpm to get 52 to 54 mph, it sucks. Going to 14.00 x 20 tires, ( from 43" to 49.5") will drop it 350 rpm.
Made it home 470 miles with only one stop for fuel, no problems. Got in midnite to awake this morning at home to, Richard - ATTENTION ON THE FOB - - ATTENTION ON THE FOB, i swear that is what i heard. We all love a wreckerman.

It is the outer seal (on the rear) that gives up first and the oil is in the hub, the inner seal is unable to keep the oil from getting past it. The inner seal is good at keeping everthing out but not the oil in. That is why i made these for the coal mine cars. With this seal you do not use the...
Man i am still saddle sore from that drive from Kansas to Florida, i got in at 9:45 am sunday. I did overnight for a new brake light switch, need to put it on, change the oil and filter and load all the stuff up. I am really trying to be in wildwood about 7:00 am wednesday.
Yea it would be a 4X4 for that tire. This truck will need alot of small parts, the brake light switch quit, the pass side door latch stripped inside, the air assist steering does not work, the air valve is on.
Not sure what fuel milage other A3 owners are getting but it looks like 9 miles to the gallon at 3,000 rpm wide open. 10 miles to gallon at 2,700 rpm, i think i can get 11. Looking at 14.00 x 20 tires. This change would drop 348 rpm at 50 mph and 60 mph can be achieved. I believe 12 miles to...
There is someone that makes a 4.90 gear sets but by the time you do 3 chucks you have spent $5,700.00 for gear sets and labor. Most guys go to the 16.00 x 20 tires.
All the wheel weights are in place, in southern AR. stopped and aired up the tires, the rear were 35 psi and the front i had aired to 50 psi. Went to 65 in the front and 60 in the rear, made a big differenace. Was able to get up to 54 mph rolling down a hill, but still shaking. Did well at 2,700...
left thursday morning about 8:30 am, got there at the same time friday to pickup the truck. Drove it just down the road to a large parking lot to hooKup the pickup and get ready for the road. I thought this truck would do 55 mpg, wrong - 50 mph at 2,800 rpm and tires would shake your teeth out.
