A5 wheels + offsets

[Sam Bryan]

Hi everyone

I'm new here, (sorry if it's already been posted) just after a bit of advice on wheels. I have been looking at the niche targa m129 for my 2012 a5 cab, and I'm just wondering what sizes I can get away with, it's currently on the oem 19in with tyre size 255 35 19.

i was thinking of going for 19 x 9.5j +25mm on the front and 19 x 10j + 30mm on the rear.


would this work with my current tyres or would I be better sticking with 9.5j all round? Also will there be any catching with the added offsets?

Thanks in advance!

Sam, I've used this in the past when trying to work out what will fit and what won't:

Considering the S5 can run a 25mm rear spacer with 9J on the rear I'd say a 10J with a 30mm would be really pushing your luck. Most run 20mm max on front with 9J wheel, so again front is pushing it.

Thanks Tobester, That works brilliant, I think ill go for 19 x 9.5j et 20 on the rear and et 25 on the front.

Against stock it would mean my rear sticks out 19.4mm more than it was, and the front 14.4mm, I should imagine that there will be sufficient clearance at that?

Thanks Warren
