I know I'll have to roll the wheel well in the back but I think its possible

Pretty sure I had just posted about how spacers push the wheel FARTHER out. That would be making the problem worse and not better. You are posting like you don't really understand wheel fitment. You have to know the offset to determine if they will fit. Also Audi has the wrong bolt pattern. You would need an adapter which would push the wheel even farther out. EDIT: I looked it up for you. Offset is +50 so maybe it will work but not with a 295. You may even have problems with the inner clearance. I wish you luck.

^What you said in your last sentence is why he figured he would need spacers. Our cars have more inner wheel clearance than most, therefore most people have to get spacers with wider wheels so they don't rub on the shock/spring.

You might want to check the wheel bolt dia as well....

Some of the Audi's are 5X112...

Thanks for the reply Topgun..I think I can sell my Axis wheels. They have new Kumo tires. I bought the car just like it is . Great wheels , Magnaflow, KN Typhoon, Cool blue pulleys, Ect from the bank,, It was a repo !! 05 with 21K Im not sure what Im going to do with it. I do think it's slow for a sports car. But i sure like it. Anyway I will change the wheels. Any other suggestions ? Do you like Nitto INVO tires ?

18x9.5 with 15 offset all the way around?

im currenly running a 19x9.5 with 265 in the rear; front is a 255 w/ 19x8.5. i do have the rear fenders rolled and lowered on Tenabe GF springs

J8635621 01-02-2010 12:02 PM

Tire size?

Bravery 01-02-2010 12:39 PM

Front 235 45 18
Rear 245 45 18

Brandonien 01-02-2010 02:18 PM

well if I'm correct you cut the rim width in half and the offset is 50mm toward the face of the rim... correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah, if I used spacers to avoid rubbing or hitting the well it might push out too far unless I A: roll the fenders or B: widebody.. and if it's a different bolt pattern I could use the adapter as the spacer, two birds with one stone :P

Hey people i bought a 55 plate 8 few months ago and im looking at buying some new AVS F15 alloys for it.
These are the choices i have from the website:

5x114.3 19x8.5 ET+45
5x114.3 19x9 ET+47
5x114.3 19x9 ET+28
5x114.3 19x9.5 ET+45
5x114.3 19x10 ET+30

Can you please reccomend some sizes and offsets that will fit. I would like to have 19x10 on the rear and 8.5 or 9 on the front but am unsure on offsets and sizes that will fit it.
Could you also reccomend some tyres with them, i was thinking 245/35/19 front and 265/30/19 back??

Its a stock 8 so hasn't been lowered or anything.

Thanks

J8635621 01-03-2010 02:59 PM

19x9.5 +45 rear and 19x9+47 front if you have to have staggered. You can fit the 19x9.5 +45 all around. 255/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear for the stagger and 275/30/19 all around for the nonstagger.

Lister 01-03-2010 03:57 PM

Thanks alot greatly appreciate the help. ill be sure to post a pic when i get them on!

with a 18x9.5 off 15?

Front 225 45 18
Rear 225 45 18

using 18x8 off 40?

Considering some new enkei wheels and I was wondering if these would work without rolling the fenders. I'm not to great at the offset thing. Tried to learn but became even more confused. lol

That's pretty aggressive and will need a fender roll at least to fit 225s all around. Good luck with that. Someone posted some rpf1 in the aggressive wheel fitment thread with that size/offset. Ask them for something a little more sure.

That will fit perfectly fine. You are moving the wheels out 10mm from the stock +50. You have a bunch more room. If you are buying new wheels, you might want something that fits a little "better." The lower the offset, the farther out the wheel sets with widths being equal.

Bravery 01-04-2010 08:40 AM

@ j8635621;

thanks for the help, i will

Thanks a ton. What do you mean by "better"?

TopGear8 01-04-2010 10:23 PM

^He's talking about a more aggressive, wider wheel. For example. instead of 18x8 +40. Get a 18x9 +35. It will stick out farther from the hub and give your car a much more aggressive look/stance.

Ohhhhhh ok. Cool. Thanks.

adriandlr12 01-04-2010 11:24 PM

wheel: 18/8.5 tire: 225/45/18 FRONT
wheel: 18/9.5 tire: 245/40/18 REAR
offset: 35mm for front and rear
WILL IT FIT??

TopGear8 01-04-2010 11:37 PM

^Fronts will fit fine. Rears will fit on stock suspension. Will need slight roll if lowered.

adriandlr12 01-05-2010 01:03 AM

well i do have the tein s techs...
soo then what to you suggest for an offset for the rear..40mm??

TopGear8 01-05-2010 01:05 AM

On second thought. Stay with the +35. If you dial in some negative camber you will be fine.

J8635621 01-05-2010 02:43 AM

Yea it will fit fine with +35 and 245/40/18 in the rear. You won't need a roll.
