Anyone with pics of ET35 offset wheels on a non-widebody A6?
 
Boston Driver put the thought in my head, and I'd like to see if anyone had any pics of how an ET35 wheel (18" specifically) looks on a narrow body A6. I have an 04 with the lower sport suspension...

Thanks to all who can help!

I have 35mm wheels on my narrow body, I really didnt like the way it looked, they seemed to far in. I added 15mm spacers. Here is a pic "without" the spacers.

do you have a pic with the spacers? I was under the impression that the lower the offset, the farther the wheels stuck out. IE: 45 was shallow, 35 sticks out farther...??

Turn that damn rear fog light off. It's not foggy :)

Here are some pics of my A6 with 35 offset wheels.

This tool will help, make sure you set the width to the same to do comparisons.

I'm SO confused now!! I've been told this whole time that a lower offset number will make the wheel stick out further, although that calculator says otherwise!
So if my wheels are 45 now, what will I need to make them stick out further?

jaymac 03-03-2009 06:05 PM

From your pics, it looks like your 35's stick out further then my 45's???

Jeffla 03-03-2009 06:11 PM

35s will stick out further than 45s. 10mm further. Retry the calculator and make sure you set the widths to the same size.

set current wheels to 7 width and 45 offset
set new wheels to 7 width and 35 offset.

jaymac 03-04-2009 07:03 AM

OK, that's what I thought. But why the same width? The wheels I'm looking at are 8.5" wide.

Jeffla 03-04-2009 10:19 AM

Just to show that 35s stick out further than 45s if all things are the same.
