Anyone running a 18x8.5 with a 35 offset on the front of a B6 A4?

[BIG EYE]

Courious about how much it will poke (or not).
If you have a picture to show, and can comment on any fender modificaitons that where required, that would be great.

TIA

Zero poke.

"Perfect" fit up front if you want to run 235s, but you'll want 10mm spacers in the rear for the sake of looking good.

i have 19x8.5 35et
no poke, looks good besides 4x4 status

"Perfect" w/ 235s if you're not stupid low as well.

i have 35 offset and i think they are perfect

Here is et38 on an 8.5" wheel.

[CleanA4]

going 205's next year roughly 8mm front and 15mm rear spacers....b5 content i know but gives you an idea

[BIG EYE]

Awesome. thanks for the replies.....

Do you think a 30 offset on a 18x8.5 will work, or will that 5mm make too much of a difference?

[unknowna4]

How low are you?

[BIG EYE]

How low are you?

This is a pic of a friends car that has a very similar ride height as me. (i dont have any pics of my current ride height) but i am on coilovers so i can adjust.

Is your car in your avatar? You'll almost definitely rub a bit. Seems like if you're really low, ET32 on 8.5 width wheel is about as far as you can go with 235 tires. I've never rubbed once with ET32 on 19x8.5 but I'm about 24 3/4" all around. Not as low as what you just showed.

[BIG EYE]

That is my car in my avatar, but i am not that low. That was from the day i installed my coilovers. I cranked them all the way down before putting them in to see how low i could go...

My daily height is pretty close (maybe a tad lower) than the Dolphin one posted above

It will look ah-maz-ing! Depends on your ride height as to whether you'll rub. Are you running 225 or 235 tires?

I'm not running anythign yet, because i have not purchased the wheels yet. I want to find out if they would fit first.
I would probably run 225..

That should work then.

[BIG EYE]

That should work then.

Cool
now one more question. Using the same size and offset in the rear, any idea what size spacers should be used to match the "poke"

[Rommulus]

I wouldn't add more than a 5mm in the rear. Overall et30 all around. Just my personal opinion.

[BIG EYE]

Thanks for all the help

[BOPOH]

et30 is fine. i had fat tires 255 and it was good

[grndzro26]

What suspension are you running?

[Boosted3.0]

Just adjust so you don't rub. Should be damn close to the fender and lookin sick! (18's look small if your lowers are painted tho)

[BOPOH]

lowered on TEIN coilovers

Second picture doesn't look ET30 to me, you're sure those wheels are 8.5? I guess they must be since a 255 tire on a 8" wheel would overlap the lip more, but still, doesn't seem right to me. Maybe its the angle IDK.

Edit: I saw the same wheels for sale in your sig. Still doesn't look quite right to me, strange.

Do you know what your fender height is set at?

[BOPOH]

Not here to thread jack but for all you unbelievers
these are OEM RS6 wheels 18x8.5 et30
im selling them because i got RS4 reps that show off my BBK much better

[BOPOH]

here you go i found it

RS6 18x8.5 225/40/18

[Ill 3.0]

here you go i found it

RS6 18x8.5 225/40/18

Ah cool, this explains it thanks:

Dont get fooled, i have -2* front and -3* rear cambers, otherwise it would stick out. Fenders are also rolled, minimal rubbing does exist, BUT not as much as my 245/35/19

19x8.5 ET33 is flush to the fender with no rubbing.

With ET30 you will kiss the fender lip every so often. That is why I shaved 3mm off the hub on the Keskins shown in the pics to make them ET33.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

I had them on my NS race setup with 245/40 tires and the offset was perfect at 35

[FORCE_FED_DUB]

i had 18x8.5 et40 with 245-40-18 NT555 and ~1.4* camber front and rear and they rubbed! went down to a 235-40-18 and no more rubbing.

[Sablea4]

my et 30 sit flush in 8.5

What size tires are these?

[Sablea4]

those were 235/40/18 bfg kdw 2's
I currently run 225-45-18 bfg g-force sports

didn't rub with either set except with ALOT of weight in the car. Like 500lbs worth of steel plus tool boxes.

[BIG EYE]

Nice....any pics from the same angle of the 225/45's?

[romell]

some pretty sick cars in here =)




had to put some useless info.

18 x 8.5 ET30
235 40 18 Toyo S Drive

[doublezero30]

245!? yikes. i wouldnt be ballsy enough to run that big of a tire on my NS race springs. 235 MAYBE but to me, my 225's are pretty close.

i am running 245-40-18's on 18x8.5w/ 37 or 38mm offset (VMR) Fits flush and no rub.

18x9 (RS6 reps) were shaved to 33mm. No rub with the button clip on front wheel wheel removed.

i am running 245-40-18's on 18x8.5 w/ 33mm offset (was 37mm prior to wheel hub shave). Fits flush and no rub.

I could be wrong, but i believe if your wheels have a 37 offset and you shave off 5mm, your new offset will be 42, not 33....
