Spacers all round and aero arms and wipers fitted

[dpbayly]

Well my spacers turned up today as well as my aero wiper arms and blades happy days....

I went for 15mm on the front and 20mm on the rears, Im running rs4 18 by 8 et35 so fronts now running an ET20 and rears are running ET15

Here's some pic's:

Rear before

Rear after

Im well chuffed

Also very happy with the Aero wipers there a must for anyone considering them:

looking mint fella

Looks good.

Two things, firstly they're RS6 'style' wheels

Secondly, are you sure they're ET35? The finished offset doesn't look as low as ET15/20.

well strangely 3 are copies but 1 is genuine with an offset of ET43 so that wheel is also running an extra 8mm spacer, have no idea why and yep certain the others are ET35

I did also have a little play with the rear camber to stop the slight rubbing i had so tops are in a little more than they were, Im whipping the rears off again tomorrow so will make 100% that there ET35

If they're reps then ET35 sounds about right, and I presume they're still 8J? Most ET35 reps I've come across have been 8.5J.

I must be losing my eye.....!

 

[munchkincoupe]

if 3 are reps and 1 is genuine won't that cause a problem due to weight being different?

yep there also 8J

Well I've owned the car three and a half months and it certainly caused no issues and to be honest i doubt the weight difference will be that substantial to be noticeable, When i next have 2 wheels off I'll weigh them just out of interest.

Took a few better pics today as the pics i originally posted dont show the full effect:

Look really smart!

Think the stance is spot on.

How do you know they are RS6 rather than RS4? Because they are more concave?

I have RS6 alloys on my A3 which are 8.5J with no spacers just awaiting coilovers!

 

[quattrojames]

Because RS4's never had wheels in that style..

Fair enough. I'm not very up to speed with Audi alloys atm having not been in the BMW to Audi transition long.

The wheels and tyres really fill the arches nicely. What size spacers did you use?

looks really good.

 

[Slinepete]

Looks really good matey can't help thinking those wheels would look good in anthracite with your colour car

How much did this little lot come to?

Wheels look great with the spacing :icon_thumright:

Thanks,

15mm front and 20mm rear I also fitted new tyres slightly narrower 225 instead of the 235 so it gave me more room to play with spacing wise.

I considered it as they could do with a refurb and i have some paint at work that would be a perfect colour, so never know i might give it a try

Just over £90 inc vat from Cambridge TPS might be able to save a bit if you go for none genuine blades

I had mine done darker, in fact they were done darker than I intended, to the point they're virtually body colour. They look great I think, and I can't really fault it (see the pic further down), but I do sometimes miss the glint of an Avus Silver wheel!

 

[munchkincoupe]

Does look good though - well done

 

[Slinepete]

Mine look similar colour to yours james bit darker than I intended but really like them although mines not dark silver body, still reckon they would look great on dpbaylys car ps another thread tempting me into getting mine lowered and spacers etc i need to do it soon just not enough spare dosh at the mo
