Guys I know was discussed a few times here but still not finding what I m after so if someone has tried or knows more about wheel spacers please jump in..I m after some 10 mm front spacers and 15 mm for back that s one side I ve measured my offset space to the arch and looks good for this setup my car sits still on sport Oem suspension so quite high.I was thinking at some point about 20 mm all around.I ll drop some pics with the wheels that are 18'' and the tyre is 245/40/18 the offset is 42 or 47 can t remember now but can check

I have an S5 and the standard spacers for them are 15mm and 20mm.

I'm not sure on the A4. But ECS do kits and they show aggressive as 10mm front and 12.5 for the rear.(LINK)

Or flush kit as 8mm front and 12.5 rear.(LINK)

This is for 19inch alloys 8.5 wide offset 43. As long as your 18s are the same width and offset then the 18 and 19 difference is taken up by the tyre, both wheels should still have the same rolling diameter.

Use this site to confirm once you know details of both wheels just to make sure the 18s and 19s are physically the same size. (LINK)

Good luck, sorry I can't tell you the exact spacers you need but you should figure out an answer from what info I have given you.

Not sure if A4 has same setup as S4 suspension as found a thread that uses 15 front and 20mm rear on an A4 with 18s (LINK)

As for what spacers. I used Eibach but H&R are just as good.

You can get cheap ones on eBay but you pay your money and take your chance though I'm not really sure what catastrophic things can really happen to a circle bit of metal a set thickness if you go for cheaper.

@DPM is your man for decent spacers, and has great prices.

I ran 10mm front, 15mm rear on standard 19 inch A4 b8 Saloon wheels, lowered suspension (Springs only) and had no problems.
