    Anyone running 20mm spacers on the stock A3 multispoke wheels? the wifey's car is lowered on Neuspeed springs. I was looking at 15mm but if I can run 20, even better!!

    id have ran 20 rears, 15 fronts if i went that route...
    you have to like the look, and depending on suspension adjust your dampening/height and/or stretch of tire...

    the car has week offsets for sure...et45 8" is discouraging, but at the same time people are too pussy when talking about "fitment" as if a normal 5x112 application (aka et35) wont fit...well it will, if u make it happen. and your not a bitch about "rubbing"
    its not that big of a deal, and sometime a proper look/stance is worth the effort. not EVERYTHING is plug n play...so i say go for it! spacers, tho a minor adjustment, can REALLY have a huge impact on the overall look/stance of your car

    go for it...if u dont like it, trade em for a downsize

    see the thing is...u can fit ANY et granted there is enough inner clearance with frame/strut
    what it is, is how much do u wanna poke with the particular et/width configuration. its YOUR call.
    its taste/style/goal of for the application/project...as long as its 5x112 and clears your calipers its an option
