    Hello Everyone,

    I have an A4 97 & I'm planning to buy a new set of rims keeping my stoks suspension. I'm planning to get the 17" or 18", which one is better? need some advice....

    Thanks,

    Noah

    With either of them I'd say you are going to eventually want to lower the car. New rims just always seem out of place if the car is not lowered. The smaller sidewalls of the tires just give that huge gap. I'd say 17" if you REALYY aren't going to lower.

    If budget is an issue, pick up a set of stock OEM sport suspension from someone and go no bigger than 17"s

    get the wheels and suspension done together.....17's will hold up better than 18's...but if you have smooth roads in Sac...then roll 18's...they look better
