Would a +32 offset be too low? Im planning on buying 18x8's, but i have a choice of either a 32 or 38 offset. I would like the 32, but I'm not too sure if that's going to be too low, since the stock is 45.

 

So nobody knows?

 

My previous car (2001 2.7T) had ET43 wheels, and I wished they were just a bit further out. The ET32 offset will be super aggressive and push the wheels WAY out towards the edge of the fender lip. However, I think you might be at the point where the outer edge of the tires might kick up debris on the side of your car. I saw an A6 avant this AM with OZ SL wheels with the ET35 offset, and they looked NICE! I think ET32 might be a bit too much, I think ET38 will serve you well.

FYI - I saw an A6 with OEM RS6 wheels (18x8.5" ET30 offset) and I thought it was just a bit too much, but that is a wider wheel and a more aggressive offset.

 

45 and you want 32 offset?? it will punish your tyres for sure so not worth it

 

Plenty of A6 owners go with aftermarket wheels with ET35 offset, and I have yet to see anyone complain about anything related to tire wear.

 

facts only mate, a 45 offset to a 38/32 will wear the tyre in no time at all the 38 will last longer (just) but there are upgrades to make it possible

I run 18x8.5 with a 35mm offset. I would think an 8 inch wide wheel with a 32mm offset would fit.
