I found a perfect set of wheels for my car BUT!

**romansoldier100** · 11-10-2008 05:20 PM

They were from an A3.

So the size is

19x8.5
45et OFFSET
5X112

My currant wheels are 35mm offset.. this is 10 more mm.. But I dont know to which direction. Will these work for my B7 A4?

if you're worried about it, then you can order wheel spacers.

The lower the number for the offset the more the wheel will stick out, so with 45ET you will need 10mm spacer to get back to the offset you have now and yes they'll work.

So I have 15mm Spacers with longer bolts for the front, that will get me to my ideal position. Now I need to locate some spacers for the rear in maybe 20mm spacer? Does anyone even make that?

With those numbers ur gonna stick way out, our cars look great with 35ET wheels, but it's ur car bud do what you like.

I dont want to make my wheels stick out.

I already bought tires.. 245/35/19 pirelli.

And I was looking for LM REPS. I found a set but the offset is 45..

Can you please guide me through what I would need in order to make them fit and look flush? Im sorry I just cant understand how offset works no matter what. I have been looking at offset calculators for an hour now and cant figure it out.

Thanks again.

No prob, just get 10 mm spacers and you'll be fine. The wheels should be flush with the fender then. Hopefully some else chimes in so you can get a second opinion, but they'll tell you the same thing.

10mm front and rear.

Make sure to get longer bolts too, just in case.

With 245/35/19's, a 10mm spacer will be perfect.

If you were running 235's, you could probably switch to 15mm spacers and get your wheels even more flush. I ran a set of et27 and now i'm running et35 with 5mm spacers and I'm not rubbing with only a finger width gap.

Stick with your 245's, pick up some 10mm spacers and you will be good to go!

12mm spacers will give you the perfect fit with a 245 series tire.

Like they told you, the lower offset, the more your wheels will stick out. 35 offset is the "ideal", but you can also go for a 32 offset. This means, 45 offset + 10mm spacers = 35 Offset. Of course, get longer lug bolts, or you will be in trouble.
