Sweet! Thanks for the input,
I guess i better keep looking for the "Perfect" Wheels! No way am i going to be extending the arches etc....
I dont mind getting a arch flare!
Yes, flush without the 20mm spacers at the moment. Or as you can guess, poking about 2cm with the spacers....
I think that i need to take this up with the Wheel-Whores guys, they should be able to give me a better idea!
Your help has been greatly appreciated Cookstein :)
Maybe if i drop in...
Oh really, if your calculations are correct that means its going to stick out the arch by about 5-6cm then...
possibly a little to extreme without arch modifications!
No idea, i'm currently running on the rear:
18x8.5J
ET35
20mm spacers
And this pokes about 2-3cm...
HMM, I don't think anyone has been that adventurous on this site. I guess i'm going to just have to "Wing It" and MAKE them fit! Going to possibly need some arch work!
I was a silly boy a also did the same, spent £400 on some cheap reps and then spent another £400 on Falken Rubber! Couple of pot-holes later the rims were terrible, flat spots galore from the soft and cheap alloy. I ended up biting the bullet and spending some serious cash on proper wheels and...

5x112 is the new'er Audi fitment isn't it...
As for tyres i was thinking something like a 215/205, give...
Reps are poorly made, heavy and usually finished to a pretty bad standard. You would be better off going to a cheaper wheel manufacture, or saving up for the real deal...
Right, so i'm looking for some Fresh wheels for my car. Something to look good over the summer!
I have seen a rare set of ACS Type 1's in 17x8.5 and 17x10.5J, They have a rather low Offset (ET) due to being BMW fitment (along with 5x120PCD)
The ET of those wheels are ET17 front and ET20...
Couple of fresh ones of mine, Big plan coming soon!
All i can let on is arch flare, spacers and camber...
but for now:
I know she can go much much much lower, but she get driven hard and i wouldn't want to be tip-toeing around!
