Wheel offsets

[HollywoodDroid]

Hi chaps,

I’m looking around for some aftermarket wheels and just wondering if anyone knows what offset would they have to be to sit flush with the body.

Don’t really want to go down the path of getting spacers as I think a wheel with the right offset would be better.

Saloon or Sportback?
Those are completely different in wheel settings.

Nice. What about the rears?

assuming you get a set of 4 ET45, you can get away with a spacer on the rear - 8mm or so for an equal appearance to the fronts. I didnt bother as it looked good as was. remember Audi put a wider track on the front to help reduce understeer so would would be fighting this by widening the rear track.
