    Angry Need help with new 18" OZ canyon wheels

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi,
    I just purchased some new 18" OZ Canyon wheels (35mm offset)with tires (225/40/18) at a Cali shop. For my 2000 Audi S4. I was told by two different wheel places that these wheels will fit my car perfectly without any hassle. Will sure they do, I have an local shop put them are, and to find out the center hub for the wheel is too big for the center hub on my car. So I place a order for hub rings, two days later I get them. Second time I take it the shop they get the back wheels on. When they try to put the front ones on, guess what the wheels are hitting my oversize calipers, the one thing I was told why most wheels don't fit my car. O.k so now what I call the place I order from and I was told I needed wheel spacers now. So they placed an order for a pair of 10mm H&R spacers for just the front wheels today. Which I should be getting end of next week. So my question to you guys is, will the 10mm spacers be enough to clear the calipers, would my wheels hit my fenders once put on, will it cause vibration once it is put on, will I need spacers for the back wheels, or will the two in front be fine for normal daily driving? I don't want any problems down the line once the wheels are put on. What spacers would you recommend that would clear the stock calipers and also would not hit my fender? Also, would I still need hub center rings? So any help would be appreciated? thanks in advance

    If the Canyons are the ultimate wheel for you, and you just have to have them, I'd say go for it. If there are other wheels out there that you like better, then I'd say skip the canyons and go with something that fits.

    That's just my opinion though....
