bump, i need some answers here guys, i have no ideas on what to look for right now.

 

Your stock rims are 5x112 35mm offset. That should help.

 

For da 2.8 I'd say focus on handling before you even think about wasting a dime on performance (the cost of intake/exhaust is rediculous in comparisson to the 5-8hp increase (that you will barely feel (if you feel any difference)))....

18x8" or 18x8.5" would be your best bet....the offset on the wheels you buy can be between 32 and 38mm and the lug pattenr is 5x112

as far as tire size goes I went for the 235/40/18 (which gives you the perfect ammount of sidewall (for me at least on my 18x8.5"))

the next couple things on your list should be a set of sway bars (Hotchkins (spell?)) h-sport are the best...and also start looking for a set of shocks and springs(h&r/bilstein) is very common around here, or a set of coilovers....

good luck...post some pics when you get the car!

 

QA4 is right, follow that and u are all set

 

dont forget you cant stagger the size front to back in height if you have a quattro. you can stagger the width though and it looks gooood.
