    Looking for pictures of 20" rotors on spacers from behind

    I did a little searching yet figured since people enjoy pimping some pics I'd ask for some fresh pictures. Looking for rear pictures of 5's with OEM 20" rotors with spacers. If you post, please spec what size spacers you have and what size tires.

    Disclaimer: I had a friend drive my car over the weekend so I could follow and observe from behind. I was really disappointed with the look of the small 275 tires, and how sunken in they are without spacers. I'm afraid with spacers it will just look like I have tiny tires pushed out to the edges and it will look "lame" for lack of a better term.

    My other set of wheels are 10.5" ET27 with 285's and look very nice and substantial from behind IMO (see below). I was really surprised how much smaller a 275 is versus a 285.

    275's on 9" wheels? sounds like major tirewall overhang? In any case, from behind it should really only make 10mm difference which is about 3.5%? It probably looks so small because they are placed so far inwards.

    Link to my a5, with OEM RS5 wheels and a stiffer tread set of (275/30/20) Bridgestone Potenza. No spacers or drop
    Maybe this might help, idk.

    Thanks for the pics, not exactly what I'm trying to get a view of though.

    Here is a quick MS Paint diagram of what I'm looking for:



    I'm trying to find pictures of the setup in the top right and lower left. I am hoping that with spacers it does not make the car look like this from behind:



    No offense intended if that's someone's car on here, but I think that looks terrible. It's like the difference between these two mustangs: (I know, I know... mustangs, but it shows the example of what I'm trying to avoid.)

    IMO good:



    vs. IMO bad:



    I suppose at the end of the day a set of spacers is cheap and if I don't like it I can always have my rotors widened to 11" and put 305's on them (which I am considering.)
