So I want a new set of wheels as I feel my ones are a bit boring.
I currently have the stock ones that come on the 2.0tfsi s-line saloon. They are 18”.
What wheels are you guys running ?
What size ?
What offset ?
What’s required to get them on ( spacers, etc ) ?
Where did you find best to get them from ?
I am looking to be running coilovers and want to go as low as I can with them so any information on if the wheels and sizes you are running will help or prevent that is appreciated.
Something to chomp on then chap.
There are so many wheel style options out there that it does really come down to your prefered style etc.
Most guys are running 18" or 19" and a few 20" and with numerous tyre size combo's on them.
Offsets vary depending on wether its an oem rim or rep , also width of rim has to be factored in , OEM offset on b7 is from Et43 to ET45 and a few sizes either side of those.
reps can be a whole raft of offset sizes from ET29 and upwards but ET35 on an 8j rim is safe and you wont need spacers, same with 8.5j but going to a wider rim may require offsets around the 43-45 or you will get rubbing .
ET35 is 10mm more poke than oem ET45 on an 8j rim but will be more if using wider rims 8.5j upwards.
Spacers, again are personal choice really and they can be problematic depending on what thickness you want to use combined with rim offset and width.
Also keep in mind a lot , but not all reps will need the use of spigot rings and those can be problematic also , you are best getting rims with the correct bore size to start with if possible , but if not then use decent quality rings.
decide what diameter rim and width in the offset you desire and in the style you want then search the interwebby , lots of sources around but price can vary widly i'm afraid.
I have to say chap wheel choice should be really easy in theory , but as with most things audi and the a4 B7 in this case it rarely is straight forward and can be a very time consuming and a hair pulling exercise....you have been warned...lol
If you start messing around with BBK's then that moves the goal posts even more on rim choice and fitting.
sorry for the long reply and the somewhat off putting bits but better you know at the start than find out later what the format is.
good luck with it.
