Anyone running a 18x8.5 with a 35 offset on the front of a B6 A4?

I used to think ET35 was perfect, but after putting on my Alphards which are 18x8.5 ET35, i want a 5mm spacer to make them flush

yeah if you shave it, its + offset where as spacers make them closer to zero

I could be wrong, but i believe if your wheels have a 37 offset and you shave off 5mm, your new offset will be 42, not 33....

you are right. i was actually thinking my 9" wide wheels that we shaved down. my 8.5's are actually 37. my bad.
