Question might have been asked but me and Pdubs can't seem to ever get a straight answer, even from multiple wheel vendors....So here's my question will that set up fit on the B7 A4 without spacers, and if I do need spacers what spaceres? Pads are new also if that matters. What about rubbing? 235/40/18 run if lowered on Koni/Eibach pro kit? Seems pretty straight foward but can't seem to get a straight answer, or people just put spacers to do it. I'd rather not spend the $$ if I don't have to, since I'm already buying new wheels, tires, and pro kit. Thanks for the help for whoever comes in to leave some quality answers. If you think I should have searched more, well show me the thread that answers my question lol.

Brake clearance depends on the specific wheel but as long as they clear the brakes you should be ok with an 18x8.0" ET32 wheel and 235-40-18 tire.

Yeah I'm not even interested in the 18x8 lm reps. Plus just because one 18x8 +32 wheel fits doesn't mean another 18x8+32 wheel will fit if it's a different design. It could be a flat faced wheel (like the lm reps) that will hit the brake caliper where concave wheels will bolt up.

exactly what I was thinking Pdub so a spacer might be needed......

and then lugs....I wanted to order them by today, but im not the type to do it without knowing itll bolt right up or have whats needed to do so.. I don't like wasting money lol work to hard for it

For 18x8, our wheels will range between ET35 and ET45 depending on design. A spacer will make things worse (especially if lowered).........

It all depends on the shape of the wheel. I have run 18x8 et45 that fit with no issues, but have seen et30's that hit the caliper just because of the spoke shape. There is no definite answer.
