Avant wheel fitment

Picking up a set of 18 x 8.5 with et 35 was wondering if i will have fender clearence problems.

only if you are really low. my wheels are that size and the face of the wheel is exactly flush with the widest point of the fender

Yours are +35, Alan? I'll have to look closer next time I see you.

[Jibberific]

pretty sure. my old black wheels were +38 and they were tucked in a few more millimeters than my rs4 reps.

it doesn't say the offset anywhere on my rs4s but they are flush with the fender just like my old +35 fliks.

Got a set of Moven's that are 18 x 8.5 w/ ET 35 and no probs at all (stock suspension also) - as long as you don't go too low, you s/b ok w/ your wheels. BTW, this wheel width & ET results in a great stance. G/L and enjoy!

You will have no problems as long as you stick with a 235 series tire and don't slam your car to the ground.

Flush to the fender would be ET32 so ET35 gives you 3mm of clearance which is huge.

235 seems kinda thin for an 8.5? Maybe 255?

235 is perfect for a 8.5" wide wheel.

the 255 will be way too wide and you'll rub with an ET35 offset

mounted them today and they look great ...when i lower the car i will have just enough clearence from the wheel well..a 225 will fit also on the rim if needed,but im happy with the 235..
