Poor old Franks gonna loose some hair on this one.

8.5 inch wheels , 19x8.5 30et , will it work? i can always run spacers, plus if i get these wheels, instead of my LM Reps, they are real 3 piece, that way i can get some bigger lips :)

I talked to a guy at raderworks and he told me that a 30mm offset on a 19x8 would fit fine, so I'm pretty sure it would be fine on an 8.5 depending on how low your car is.

im a risk taker, theres always a way, either spacers or rolled fenders, plus i just ordered stern adj control arms :)

Franks sig say 2.7

Well going to a et30 will actually bump your wheels out farther, so you won't need a spacer...but that actually depends on the design of the spokes. Here's a wheel offset calculator that will help you figure out what the wheel will do and how much. Then just measure on the car to see if it will clear.

HAHAHA, sh1t, my bad, your sig says 4.2 door blades, i didn't read it carefully

sorry

So Franky, if your offset is 43mm also, then 30 will be def. out of the front fender, rears might be ok....i guess test fit is the best, lol

they are coming off a b7 a4 and they dont stick out, and i ran 18x9 with 35ET last summer, so i really dont think 5mm is going to mean much.....plus i want them out to fender if not a little poke. and they are flat spokes 3 piece wheels like LM's

**FrankA6** · 01-09-2009 03:25 AM

my winter wheels, are 18x8 with 35ET and look how much they are in, i looked on the wheel calculator and it says this.

Inner Clearance: 1mm LESS
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 11mm

so looks fine for me, now take a look at how much room i with the 18x8 35ET's on, they are in really far, so they will be in 1mm Less and stick out 11mm More. the back im thinking is going to need about a 10-15mm spacer to look good. front should clear everything, since i dont HP2 brakes im not worried, plus i just ordered Stern Adj Control arms, so the camber can be messed with some to make it perfect and no more premature tire wear!

oh and BTW i put in the size of my old summer wheels, and it says EXTEND an extra 13mm , so im fine, these should be about 2mm less poke then my old setup, and they had a ton of clearance and never had rubbing problems :) so all in all, i think im fine.
