I have recently invested some hard earned money and jumped into Audi A4 B5 ownership and canât stop smiling
I have been into modifying cars since I have had a licence but over the last 5-6 years have been out the game and was looking for some advice from some other A4 B5 owners
Right I have my nice A4 B5 1.8T completely standard and I am now keen to begin my modifying of her (nothing too much just a bit to set her out from the crowd)
Initially Iâm planning on lowering her on coilovers and putting a nice set of rims on her
To me the lower the better so was looking for a little bit of advice on what sort of set up I would need to create my desired look first time round
What I was planning was some 8 or 8.5 x 18 inch rims (some standard Audi ones are preffered) either RS4, TTRS, or some flat fives off an A8 if I can get hold of some easily
Not sure of the best offset to go for?? Can anyone let me know what the standard offset is and am I best sticking with that if I want to go really low??
I am hoping to drop her by 100mm all round or as much as practically possible so probably not quite that much on a set of 18s but ill see. I was hoping not to have to flair the arches and just have them rolled does this sound feasible or if Iâm going as low as possible on 18s will I really need to flair them??
Can anyone give me any advice/info if they have been through this process and what the best way to go is? I want the car to sit as flat as possible, with the rear wheels/tyre slightly tucking into the rear arches, no stretched tyres look & nothing too over the top just enough that it looks like itâs slammed and enough gap at the front to get over (most) speed bumps. There will be no body kits fitted the bodywork is staying standard as she came out the factory....
