For all you tire gurus, I need some help.
I purchased a set of Hart 18" wheels/tires, then discovered what ET means when they wouldn't fit my car ... so I am trying to buy new wheels to go with these tires if I can. (245/40) These are ET20, so there is just no way to get them to fit. I'll be putting them up for sale as soon as I get something to work.
The car is a C5 series 2004 A6 2.7T Quattro. However, it also has S4 calipers up front, and H&R/Bilstein combo which gives it a 1.75" drop from what I can ascertain in my research. (previous owner did all the work, I purchased it as-is)
I am wanting to put 18"s on the car, it has 17" Mille Miglia ET35 wheels right now, with 10mm spacer on the rears. Everything seems to fit OK, but before I purchase yet another set of wheels I wanted to get some expert opinions on the matter.
Here are the ones I was thinking:
