    Wheel Offset help..

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I promised myself I wouldnt mess with this audi, but after ordering H&R's I am gonna need wheels.
    I want my car to have deep dish look like this car, and not a staggered look either..but I am wondering the offset is to get this and what spacers I might need.
    I am looking at Tenzo M2's in 19x 8.5 right now..I really wanted wider rims but the dont make them, so I might consider another style. The problem I run into is I think most companies list a single application for the 2.7T and the 4.2 even though I believe they are different, and I dont want the wrong fit.
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    wheels in machined black..

    First link doesn't work. I want to see what you have in mind though, as the rims in your other link look very similar to what I have. My car is at stock height though.

    I have 18x9 on all 4 with a 3" lip, and 35ET, no spacers, and the car is lowered and no rubbing issues at all, heres a few pics so you get a good idea, how 9" wide with a 35ET looks.

    Sorry about the link, I checked twice but they must have just changed it....try this again

    Machined Black style..

    I appreciate the pics as well. Its just with the wide wheel arches of the 4.2 I want to make sure these look the part and are wide enough to fill all that in with a rim thats 8.5 with a 45 offset.

    thanks again for the help.

    My 4.2 has Borbet VM-2 18x9 et 35 with a 10mm spacer. (Final et25mm) They fit without the spacers but the 10mm fills out nicely. I could even go to a 15mm spacer and not have any issues.

    Dropped on H&R coilovers.

    This pic is without the spacers, so et35mm.




    With 10mm spacer (et25)

    Re: Wheel Offset help..

    Thanks appreciate the pics..I think i might have to go with a different wheel. The offset is 45 so I dont think it will look deep enough, or have a big enough lip to it...thanks for the advice though
