    New Wheels!! Offset Help Please!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey Guys, just bought some Rep Porsche 20x10 ET55 wheels and 275/45R20 Michelin Premier LTX for my mother's 2012 Q7 TDI Premium Plus...



    Haven't had them mounted yet, but I'm curious as to if anyone has a similar wheel size or diameter, and what size spacers or offset they went with for a reasonably flush look?
    It's on stock suspension, but I just wanted to make it look as good as we can without going too crazy. Not a huge fan of the tuck.
    I (think) the stock Audi 20" wheels are 20x9 with an offset of ET60, so I'm having a hard time trying to calculate this without measuring them on the car.

    Any help is much appreciated! I think these wheels are gonna look great.. I'll post some pics when they're installed!

    The wheel is 1" wider (25.4mm), half of that (12.7mm) is going to be added to your (poke) offset. Plus the 5mm you're getting from the et55 vs the et60, you're going to end up 17.7mm more flush. I found in my research that that is perfect for the front, but the rear needs 30mm to be flush, so throw on a 12mm spacer in the rear and you're all set

This would help if I knew how far I needed to go in order to get there, the post below shows 30mm so that's really what I was looking for. Thanks though! Seems like a cool site.

    I gave the link, you can use the offset calculator on there to know what you'll need.
