    Looks really good - colors of wheels and your car mesh really well. For spacers, maybe 10-12 mm, doesn't look like you need much more than that and you don't want to go too wide. What size wheels & tires you running?

    Rides:
    '06 S4 Avant, silver/black w/ alcantara, w/ V8 goodness - new DD (finally back in an S!)
    '07 A4 Avant 2.0TQ S-line & Ti, I-white/black (unicorn?) - w/ APR goodness, old DD, now beach-mobile
    '93 BMW 850ci, FE Red/Black - major garage queen

    Previous:
    '01.5 S4 Avant, Silver/Onyx (Sold...miss it a whole lot )
    '98 BMW 328ic, Cosmos/Grey/Black (Sold...miss this one a whole lot, too)

    Love em. Tons of grip and no road noise. Was upset last year when i had trouble getting car to slide out with them............ but they are really good tires, a few of my friends are running them, and the price is good too. I don't believe in "snow tires" with quattro, just good all-seasons.

    Re: My winter setup

    Glad to hear that - I was recently deciding between the Sumi HTR's and Falken ZE-912's for my E36 BMW 'vert in a staggered set-up - went w/ the Falkens and am quite satisfied based on 1st 400 miles w/ 'em. But glad to know the Sumi HTR's would have been a good choice as well.

    i dunno about spacers in the winter. the further out the tires stick, the more crap that'll get thrown onto the sides of the body.
