Widest 18" wheel i can fit on my Allroad?

[98M3rdracer]

Looking into buying some wheels for the Allroad. 18" only. Was wondering what ya'll would recommend running. I really liked this set of 18x8.5 BBS CH's but I am confused if a 35mm offset would work. I want to try and fit the widest wheels possible, but nothing staggered. Thanks

All the 18" fitments we have for the AllRoad are ET24 or lower. ET35 would need a spacer that is thicker than most would be comfortable with.

+35 is going to be really sunken in with your allroad. You need something around a +25 which is going to make it come 10mm farther out from the +35 BBS's you wanted.

Thanks for the quick responses. Running "almost" to wide is acceptable as i'm running an 18x8.5 up front on my M3 with a 10mm spacer on the street and they are flush with the fender and stick out of the lower part of the front bumper and give the car a very wide looking stance that flows perfectly with my lip that sticks out...

Which you can see here..


I want to achieve that same look with the allroad except with no spacer. Any good rec. for a wheel tire combo that arn't well....M3 CSLish reps? I love that look but I feel i'd have to paint them black which I don't want to do on the Allroad and well...i've already had them on the M3.

Then if you want to achieve that look without spacers, then your going to have to look for a manufacturer who offers low offsets for Audi's.
