    18x8 Front, 18x9, Rear Fitment Q.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Tork Revo Rims
    18x8 Front 1.75 lip
    18x9 Rear 3"lip

    Tires
    225/40/18 Front
    255/35/18 Rear

    Offset: 38
    Hub Bore: 73.1

    Question:
    I know the front wheels/tires will fit just fine with no problems. Will I have any trouble with the rear setup?

    Will I need
    A.) Spacers?
    B.) Roll fenders
    C.) Any rubbing?
    D.) Other issues?

    If anyone can answer these questions I would greatly appreciate it.

    Little off topic, but does anyone know the wheel weight of these rims? I searched and found only the weight for a 19" staggered setup.

    I've done 19x8 with a final ET of 28 after spacers and no rubbing in the rear, but it depends on how low you are as well.

    You should be fine unless you are dumped.

    Make sure to get those hub centric spacers! 73.1 - 54.1 to be exact.

    Your Audi uses a 57.1mm center bore, your wheels you have a 73.1. Which means it is larger. Using a hub centric ring centers the wheel on the hub so there is no vibrations while driving, especially at high speeds.

    Thank you very much for helping me out. Much is appreciated. I have one last question if you wouldnt mind answering. I plan on getting Stasis SS coilovers before buying the wheels and I was wondering how much I could drop it to have no rubbing for daily driving.

    Unfortunately i have no clue. We dont do any staggered fitments for Audi's.
