Default Damn ... ofset problem what shoul I do ?

Hi guys .. I am going to buy coilover for 99 B5 but the problem is my BBS wheels ofset ,they are 32 insted of 35 so if I lower the car the wheels will rub to the fenders.I searched for the parts for camber adjustment but I found that they are only for front side.Can I widen u the fenders without bodywork and paint ? opinions plz.

you can roll your fenders with a fender roller...some websites rent them and i believe some autozones also have loner tools that you can use for free...a 3mm difference shouldn't be a problem though...it depends on how wide your wheels are...i went from a 35mm to a 45mm offset, but it still rides fine because the wheels are much wider

Thanx..bentframe BTW ,are you still selling your 3 spoke steering wheel (w/airbag) ? I have 225/40/18's though...4 mm' will be enough for me. in worst case I will lower as I can and throw some stiffer sways..

rear camber on your motor can be adjusted so you only need the front parts

Sorry to hijack but I am trying not to be in the same position as you are in now.What would be the best offset? My car is a 2000 A4, I am looking to lowering it, What backspacing do I need for 18*8 wheels?

for 18x8 i think a 45 offset is about what you want

prodrive, i do still have the steering wheel but it doesn't include the airbag, just the steering wheel itself

nope, you'll need an airbag from a 3-spoke wheel...the airbag is actually the whole center piece, including the faceplate and audi rings in the center.
