Hi everyone,
I suppose firstly I should point out that this isn't in fact my virgin post - just the first with this account - company changes and losing the "modding bug" etc means this is now my 3rd!! (for history, previous accounts were something like "A3 Total Quality" and then "Stuey B" or "Stupot" or something - and I don't recall the passwords) but I've now been bitten by the bug again and I'm also using a personal PC and e:mail account so all should be good!
Back to business.....
My Tax and MOT are due next month - it won't pass the MOT due to front pads!! But rather then just renew the pads, I thought "sod it, I've got the bug again - lets start over" and went out and purchased a Brembo Jr GT kit - 1A5.6007A. I normally research these things like a complete "jobs-worth" but on this occasion I didn't
My cars is an 03 A3 TQS running OEM 17" 9-spokes and is not YET lowered (although YET being the word) and (those "in the know" reading this already know what's coming) they won't fit!!! The diameter is ok, it's the inner curve of the spoke which is fouling. I tried to tempoarilly use 10mm spacers but then the wheel sits too close to the outer arch
My question therefore is (at last I hear you say) what wheels will work?
Ideally I'd like to use 18" OEM Audi wheels without spacers, although I suppose any 18" OEM wheel from the VAG group would be ok.
Can anyone help, some info on offsets would also be appreciated!!
Sorry for such a long post
