hi all, I would like to fit a set of RS 18 inch 9 spoke wheels on my C5. From the what I have read the ET needs to be 35 - 45. The RS 18 inch wheels I have seen however are all ET 30. What are my options for getting some of these 9 spokes on my car. (2002 4B C5 2.5 tdi quattro). As I live in Germany, they play strictly by the rules regarding wheels.....regs Andrew
RS 9 spoke wheels
- Thread starter two left feet
- Start date
More specifically, I found a set of RS wheels, cat. No. 4B3601025R, 8.5 x 18 ET 30 on German eBay recently. Look great and would not draw too much attention. I am worried the offset won't work. I gave seen these wheels on a few cars, but would feel more comfortable knowing I wont foul the brakes or stick out / need spacers.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi, i suppose you could try using one of wheel size calculators online, such as http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/
What you will need is your current wheel spec and clearance. This should give you an idea of what you can fit in there, not sure you can trust it fully but should be pretty accurate.

Thanks for that, I will plug in my current specs and see how it goes. Regards from Germany
