I just ordered a set of wheels and tires for my 2000 A4 1.8TQ. Theels are Momo RPM's (Black 17 - 5/112 with a 48 offset) the tires are Yokohama H4's at 225/45/R17. My question is would the 48 offset preset a problem? I just noticed on the invoice that the 48 offset was ordered and not the 35 offset I requested. My concern is tire rubbing. I'm not sure if I'd have to rolls my fenders with 17s.

Any ideas?

 

You'll have to roll the fenders if you have the car slammed to the ground - otherwise no to rolling. as for the 48mm offset thats going to be a 12mm closer to the contol arms than it should be, Also your tire will be 12mm inside the fender. Since you already ordered them and they would most likely force you to pay return shipping just pick up a 12mm spacer(if they make that) or somthing close would be fine. Atempt to get them to pay for shipment of a new set and the shipment of this set back first, then use the spacers as a fall back

 

thank you! i specifically asked if this would fit my b5 so i guess i have a leg to stand on. they seem to be pretty good guys so i'll give them a call first thing monday morning. luckily i ordered them today but their supplier isn't open until monday.

thanks again
