Noob Wheel Fitment Question Offset etc

[ahdyuro]

I'm looking to go for a staggered setup and I have a few things to ask.
Currently I'm pretty much lowered on coilovers I have 19x8.5 et35 vmrs all round and I'm tucking some tires as well (tires are 235/35/19)
I've tried to go with some LM reps with 35 offset and had no luck since I needed some spacers in the front to clear those oem calipers (not sure why just regular a4 calipers) [:|]
5mm spacer at least!! which makes it et30 and with 235 tires it just wouldn't clear the fender... too much poke

Now I'm looking at stp-2s
19x8.5 / 19x9.5
ET48 / ET48

Should they fit no problem with some spacers like 10mm-13mm?
Or are they gonna need like 20mm to clear the same calipers, so eventually I will end up with the same output?

I asked Miro guys and they said b7s should go with ET32 / ET40 (19x8.5 / 19x9.5) but I know for sure ET32 +5mm spacers not gonna work in the front.

Rear seems to be okay. Just the fronts...

What are my options now?

Thank you guys in advance! [:)]

I have 19x10 et38 in the rear, so a 9.5 will fit fine.
as for the miro guys, why would you put 5mm spacers on et32? I have et30 in the front and it's flush. 27 is pushing it, you'd have to have a pretty good stretch going...

Because of the inner design of the wheels they need at least 5mm spacer in the front in order to clear my calipers.

Miro guys even told me that b7s need 5mm spacers in the front which I already experienced with those wheels myself already
and they are telling me to go et32 F.. with 5mm spacers.. which sounds weird.

Oh i'm also willing to keep 235/35/19 tires of mine so..

Depending on how low you want to be, you're gonna rub like crazy lol.
I have 235/35 et 30. I'm pretty low, and I rub on big dips.
running et 27 will rub even worse. I would definitely suggest at least a 225/35, maybe even a 215/40.

For the fronts 19x8.5 at ET32 with a 5mm spacer isn't that bad at all. I'm currently running a 19x8.5 ET22 with a 225/35, really no rubbing issues at all. Only big dips.
For the rears however, I'm on a 19x9.5 ET24 with a 235/35. I get some rubbing on big dips, but my wheel lip also kisses the fender because of the poke I have.

So with your setup, you'll be perfectly fine. But yes definitely suggest 225/35 front, 235/35 rear.

oh that's why, you don't wanna know how low i am -.-

[mr shickadance]

its milimeteres here.....5 mm spacer is half a centimeter....its not that huge of a difference

it is if you're low and already flush with the fender

I was just looking at the same wheels Miro STP2s in 19x8.5 et 32 and was also told i would need to run 5-8 mm spacer to clear the calipers

I have an S line not sure if my brakes are different than a standard a4. I never thought shopping for wheels would be so confusing. I did research found wheels

18x8 et 35 and they did not fit my car although i was told they would. i have sold those and am now trying to find something that will fit.

so 19x8.5 et 32 with a 5mm spacer wuld give me a et 27 ?

Yes. Which will make the wheels stick out the fender a few mm

and I can't have that on my car due to the current ride height + 235/35 spec tires i have.

Well, you should start looking for other wheels then. Or get some 225's. Whats your FTG?
