My 2010 2.0TDI 2xS-Line Lim Phantom "Too Low"

**sindresv** · 12-18-2011 03:50 PM

Just bought myself an A4 2.0TDI. Moved over from a MK5 Golf, and I must say it was a huge change!

Some specs:

- S-Line inside
- KW V2
- 19" Rotiform BLQ
- 18" Audi S4 winter
- Xenon Plus
- LED tails
- Xenon fogs
- S-Line outside
- Leather/ alcantara seats
- Bang & Olufsen sound system
- Audi Media Interface w/USB
- Black roof
- Keyless
- Cruise control

First a pic of the MK5:

The new baby next to the old:)

Nice booty

Winter ride height?!

Interior:

Crappy one of the summer mode:

I have to change winter wheels to something bigger, and was wondering what you guys think I should use. I have two options laying in the garage. Give me your opinion :)

These:

Or these:

Welcome to AZ. That first pic of your MK5 is sweet.

**Blake P** · 12-18-2011 08:06 PM

Welcome! Nice ride. Do you realize the B8 A4 has larger diameter hubs than your VW? That means unless those wheels use hub rings, you'll need to have the center bores milled to 66.56mm to fit the A4.

**Calbee** · 12-18-2011 08:32 PM

did you say black roof just for the lulz?

lol, took me a while to get that one. I think he means the inside roof liner.

**sindresv** · 12-19-2011 04:52 AM

It's the roof liner that's black :D

About the wheels: I didn't think about the hub. The Flat Fives are 57.1 so I guess that's a no go :/ The Mam is 66.5 so I guess that'll work?

I'm thinking about changing the summer wheels aswell. What do you guys think about Rotiform Nue? :)

**Highlander1010** · 12-19-2011 08:58 AM

I'd go with the TT 5-Spoke for your ride. Looks good.

**sindresv** · 12-19-2011 09:53 AM

If it is the one in the picture you mean, then it is A8 Flat Fives :)

**tenfour** · 12-19-2011 09:59 AM

Welcome! Beautiful car! Love those seats.

**sindresv** · 12-19-2011 10:41 AM

Thanks! :)

**Sin_city_Rings** · 12-19-2011 05:11 PM

VERY nice A4. You optioned it exactly how i would if we had a la carte options here in the states

**TCHUN003** · 12-19-2011 05:29 PM

The Flat Fives are beautiful. I would even run them as my summer setup lol

**sindresv** · 12-20-2011 04:22 AM

It was originally the summer wheels for the Golf, but then I suddenly bought the A4. My friend will make the hub 66.5 on the Flat Fives so I guess I'll have the only B8 with Flat Fives in the world :D (?)

Anybody got some photoshop skills so I can see how the Flat Fives looks on the car? :)

**phatAvant** · 12-20-2011 01:56 PM

Nice car, you don't have the S-line interior though, you have the same thing optioned seperately (which comes without the badges on the steering wheel and seats).

**sindresv** · 12-20-2011 03:14 PM

You're quite right :) Checked the options list and it says S-Line exterior, but inside he has picked everything that is in the S-Line (plus alcantara) and not the packet. Strange, but I guess he had his reasons :) Anyways, I think it looks more classy inside without the huge S-Line logo on the seats. Good for me :D

To each their own, I guess it may have been a case where he wanted an option that might not have been available with the interior S-line package at that time, so instead the person optioned the black headliner.

**ItsDubC** · 12-22-2011 06:39 AM

I always thought they were called Fat Fives (no "L"). Toe-MAY-toe, toe-MAH-toe

Nice MK5.

Nice MK5.

I know audi makes fat fives AND flat fives, but I always get them mixed up..

**sindresv** · 12-22-2011 04:12 PM

I get them mixed up also, but I was told that these are the Flat Fives :) The Fat Fives are the ones that come with the TT, or so I'm told. Anyways; I think I'll be the only one with Flat or Fat Fives on a B8 :D

And who knows, maybe it's ugly! :)

**sindresv** · 02-13-2012 02:48 PM

Finally something is happening with my ride! I have 205/55-16 winterwheels and started wondering if that was the right size. What I found out was that the diameter of the wheels was 5 cm to small (about 2") wich make my car 1" lower than it should be. No wondering I'm scraping around town :D

So I ordered a set of Continental IceGuard studs in 225/45-18 wich will make the size a bit better. Not quite right, but close enough :) Bought some OEM S4 wheels and think they look quite nice. Not the most fancy wheels in the world, but they'll suffice for winterwheels.

**sindresv** · 02-20-2012 03:46 PM

My car got a bit better looking with the new wheels :D Mounted some Continetal IceGuard with studs 225/45-18 and like it alot!

**sindresv** · 04-21-2012 08:55 AM

Finally got some new summer wheels. Bought Rotiform BLQ and I'm quite happy with that :D

**sindresv** · 09-23-2012 03:05 PM

Just a few pics with the new rims :) The battery on the flash was of course empty when I started taking pictures, so the car is way too dark. Will change batteries and try again tomorrow maybe :)

The only one I got before it got too dark:

Imagine how they would be with a flash :D

One of the city :)

**MKA4** · 09-23-2012 04:58 PM

Wow that last shot is amazing.

Car looks great too!

**Wah** · 09-23-2012 11:34 PM

Best rims so far imo. Congrats!

**sindresv** · 09-25-2012 02:47 PM

Thanks! The rims are the ones i like the best too, and the last shot is the only one I'm happy with :-)

**Lloydeezy E** · 09-25-2012 03:04 PM

Not a big fan of the A8 wheels, but they definitely do look the best ones you have thus far.

**sindresv** · 10-01-2012 09:35 AM

Maybe my next set is even better? :D

**sindresv** · 10-01-2012 09:40 AM

A few more pictures:

**Dubfound** · 10-03-2012 05:29 PM

Those look great!

**Lloydeezy E** · 10-03-2012 11:05 PM

really clean shots!

**downlowmatt** · 10-13-2012 11:23 PM

Hey Sindresv, love the wheels, so much so that I'm selling my 19" BBS Speedlines and stepping up to some myself here in England :)

Did you have to use spacers to get them sitting right in the wheel arches?

Cheers

**sindresv** · 10-14-2012 05:01 AM

Thanks!

I'm not using any spacers. The are almost flush, and I'm pretty sure they would rub if I spaced them.
The wheels tuck perfectly in the back when the car is full. I love how they sit on the car now :)

But it looks like I have to start looking for new wheels for the next season. I just see more and more B8's popping up with these wheels :D

**jlaudio** · 11-11-2012 10:53 AM

apologize for the old thread bump, but does anyone know where to get a quality a8 rep? i can find them online but i wonder being a 20'' wheel the overall strength
Sindresv, your pictures with the A8 reps sold me on them. going to start purchasing parts and put it all together in the spring. 20x9 a8 reps, conti extreme contact dws in 245/30/20 and a set of Kw adjustable springs because my car has ADS
