    Buying wheels, just some questions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys... first time in this area of AZ, hoping some of you can help me out.
    I have a 2001 S4, stock rims on it now with 10mm spacers all around.
    I'm going to be buying some 18x8 Flik Hornets ( got a good deal, real good) with tires. Did a ltitle research and saw that the S4's stockers have an offset of 35, and so do the Hornets.
    Is this true?
    Will I still be able to run the 10mm spacers? or would i be better off with some smaller spacers?
    I'll probably need conical seated lugnuts right?

    Thanks a lot guys!

    Re: Buying wheels, just some questions

    Pop the center-cap off of your stock S4 wheels and read the number beside the letters "ET"... I'm pretty sure you'll find that it will say 45. I'm running the same set-up with spacers to give that 35mm off-set look. Your new Fliks won't need the spacers (in fact if you use them, you'll probably rub the fenders), so you'll need to use the stock length lug bolts.
    The left lane is for PASSING!
