Well after picking my new rims up yesterday from SIXONETWO in Luton i got back to my workshop and fitted them up with new tyre then had to call it a day, this morning i met up with my brother-in-law at his workshop as i need my spacers modified to cope with the new rim width and offset that was simple took 1mm off the rears so they are now 19mm (need that 1mm to stop rubbing) then came to the fronts which actually needed more adding 3mm so they are now 18mm fortunately my brother-in-law knocked them up:
Then the next little issue was that my extended wheel bolts were designed for OEM radius fitment and the new wheels needed 60 degree taper so he sorted that out too:
once all this was done i was ready to fit the new wheels.....
Last pic of the RS6 reps:
Here is a one new one old wheel looking at this pic you would never believe there's only an inch difference, the new one looks more like 20"....
Here's one of the reasons i wanted to upgrade my wheels in the first place, to show my brakes off
Here's a pic showing my caliper clearance 3mm
Finally some stand back and admire pics.....
