Default who has spacers?

im looking for some pictures of b5's with spacer's. im putting on my coils soon and also getting spacer's so my wheels are flush with the wells and get a little bit more of a mean appearance. i have the stock sport rims from 2001. what size do you think i should go with. pics would help.

Stock wheels are a lame 43mm offset... you could likely get away with a 15mm spacer, bringing your offset to 28mm -- quite aggressive, but you can do it with a 7.5" wide wheel.

Well, look at your car now... and imagine them 15mm further out.

On my old iForged Aeros, which were 17x8, I had 30mm offset up front, and 28 in the rear. They were pretty flush with the fenders. You'd be about the same, maybe in a few more millimeters because your wheels are half an inch narrower.

Yup, those are my old 17's... I think I've got them sold now, but we will see. I loved them!

I'm on 18's now... with less agressive offsets (32mm all around) but wider (8.5 front 9.5 rear) so they actually poke out more than the old iForged wheels did.

You can sorta see in this pic... excuse my dog and my girlfriend making out.

I have no good pics showing the poke, though...

Thanks.

Yeah I actually bought an RS4 grill off a guy once... when I received it, though, it was a Kamei grill (I don't like those...) So yeah, I sold the Kamei to somebody who liked it... and then I forgot about the whole thing. I'd definitely have to black out the RS4 grill, but I might consider one again. I've just got too much else going on right now... I'm just trying to maintain the car! haha
