Anyone have an idea (or experience) of what the most aggressive offset that I can run on my winter setup (front/back) without having to do fender work? Take note of the tire size.
Non-OEM Winter wheels are 18x8.5 ET35 and I'm running 225/45/18 Michelin Alpin PA3's.
I'm thinking ~27 (8mm spacer?) but I would like to hear some other thoughts. Who makes good quality odd sized spacers?
Just got my 19" VMR V708 wrapped in Hanooks 255/35/19. Switched out my stock springs with S-line suspension. I didn't want to dump my car since I drive 40 miles a day for work so I went with the subtle S-line drop. I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit dissapointed. I hope it'll settle a little bit more.

Got my gunmetal VMR 701s on over the weekend. They are 19x9.5 ET45.

^^ You must be really local, I wonder how I've never seen your car lol
A few miles up the road from you... Was out shooting video today on... a road that was recently recommended to me... and I thought I saw you going the opposite direction. When I looked at the video tonight, I realized the driver is a blonde woman and the wheels were silver not black. It had a black painted/vinyled roof like yours and no front plate. Anywho, I love the look on your ride.

Im planning on doing some things to my audi and im wondering if i should go matte black rims or gunmetal rims and should i tint my windows, note- my audi is a B8 frame and its a 2012 Audi A4 black on black. Last thing i was wondering can the orange cover inside the light come off because the guy at my mechanic shop was scared to take off the light cover and not be able to put it back on. If you have any pictures of an Audi A4 with silver or chrome rims and an Audi A4 with MAtte Black rims can u post a picture.

So mysterious.... Lol. I keep the canyon driving to a minimum, only heading up when im with TU crew.
There are definitely some cars around that have nearly duplicated my setup, which was a big part of why I dropped the OEM sports for the 701s... And now maybe something else soon
Damn...I'm gonna have to change my wheels soon looking at this thread. All these GM v701's on Ibis!
The CF5 + BBK combo is just beautiful. Like others have mentioned, 5 spoke wheels really needs a BBK in the back so the gaps don't seem so empty.

Hate to break it to you, but that's probably as low as the S-Line suspension goes. I also bought the S-Line suspension thinking "well...I don't want to drop my car TOO low", and I was pretty damn disappointed when I put them on. So yeah, then I went from S-Line suspension to H&R Sport Springs and now ST Coilovers (though they practically sent it to me for free, partial sponsorship).

It took awhile, but I finally had time to get a photo shoot on my car. The car is a 2009 Audi B8 Avant in s Meteor Grey and modded with a bunch of goodies. Hopefully a new turbo will be around the corner.
I want to thank the guys at VIP Modular Wheels and Eurocode for helping out with the build. Both companies are highly professional and offer top notch products. I would recommend these guys to anyone out there.
Thanks to Mike with Nifty 50 Studios too, for taking the time to the photo shoot!
