The bronze-Imola combo definitely looks nice though

I agree, it took awhile to grow on me. I think a et30 would have been better than my current et20, but the more I look at it the more I like it.

It only says rota which is a company that makes hundreds of wheels plus theres like seven versions of the grids

**McGovs2.7TB5** · 03-07-2012 01:34 PM

Well if you know there's 7 different versions of Grids I'd imagine you know what they look like... Post 144 says they're 18x9.5 et 20 with 225/40/18 lots of camber in the back and rolled fenders. The only info missing is the bolt pattern, can't help you with that.

**Blake2423** · 03-07-2012 02:03 PM

They don't make them in 5x112 to my knowledge thats why I was asking I also wanted to know how they were mounted

Sparky made a thread like 2 years ago with full specs, I believe there 5x114.3 and he's using wobble bolts.

i see you have pss9's, what settings r u running? reason i ask is mine are set pretty soft (8) and am thinking i need to stiffen em up (2) to help with rubbing issues...
you r pulling off the 19's very well imo

Highly doubt wobble bolts are going to "correct" 5x112 -> 5x100.

LOL. They could also be reps in 5x100.

haha. Could be. I ran adapters when I had OEM S4 wheels on my GTI.

Nice! That is what my GF wants on her Mk4 GTI also. I'm debating throwing my VMR V710s on my MK6 Golf TDI now, but I think it would look funny at stock height.

5x100-5x112 adapters (20mm front/25mm rear), the wheels are off of a B6A4 I once had.. (the gti makes for a better DD)
Yeah man I really like the look. I get a lot of compliments. Hate trying to clean them though. Dirt sticks to plastidip like none other.

**034Motorsport** · 04-19-2012 01:17 PM

All this talk of flush and such, I figured I'd post my setup since I'm not a tucked kind of guy;

My S4: 255/40/17 on 17x8 Rota Torque (Work reps), ET35, on Ohlins Motorsports

My A4 with the same combo, my other set of 17x8 Rota Torques;

And my race car A4, with the real thing. Work Emotion CR Kai in 18x8.5, ET32, with 235/40/18 tires

**ThirdStrike** · 04-19-2012 01:19 PM

That A4^ looks like an S4?

**034Motorsport** · 04-19-2012 01:25 PM

Looks like, but is not; built 2.0L and you can see that it is a Pre-Facelift A4 by the trim and lack of shiny window trim. Has a full S4 body kit.

**Korben007** · 04-19-2012 02:03 PM

255 ah yeah!

I regret getting 225/45's.

Remind me of the fender work done. Rolled and pulled, or just rolled?

I have run those as well. Some pulling is required with the rolling, and careful offset. It's more of a track setup so can't expect to be 24" fender to floor or something.

I run 245/40/18 race tires on my track car now; they are larger then a 255/35/18. I expect to do a bit more pulling or just go to RS4 fenders.

Minor rolling in front, no pulling, nothing in back. Obviously I'm not slammed, I'm 25.5 fender to floor.

You have no idea; I had to pull over afterwords because it hurt my head so much. Someone blinded me with their brights and my old house had terrible terrible roads. The Rota Torque are basically the strongest wheel you can buy; anything else would have been destroyed. Unfortunately, the tire therefore absorbed all the force. They are indeed incredibly strong tires, love em. Conti DW Extreme FTW.
