Default RE: Tire and Wheel Sizes

As someone pointed out the other night when I was hanging out with some friends, there is nothing wrong with my stock wheels. So to save money I'm just going to get new tires (Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, 235/45-17, I'm told they will fit the stock 17x7.5 wheels) for now and maybe at a later date I'll re-think the wheel idea. I mean it is looks only and for the most part I'm all about increasing the performance right now. I might use that money I am saving on the wheels for some suspension upgrades

Hmmm...sounds like a good idea.

Just new here so take it easy on me....2007 A3 Sline Lava Grey

Looking to upgrade my stock 17" wheels with 18's but not sure what offset I should be looking for. Sounds like I should be going for btw 40 - 50. I found these sweet azz rims but they only come in 35 offset. Will this work? They have the right bolt pattern 5/112.

On an 18" rim I believe you should be looking for an offset higher than 45 (especially if you are going to lower your car at all). For a stock ride height I believe I remember seeing where a couple of people were getting away with 43
