Whoops, I was thinking of teh offset backwards [8D]

I don't see why an ET 20 wouldn't fit then. It'd be like running stock wheels with an 18mm spacer.

And keep in mind I'm not quattro, my rears are different. I was thinking of 20-25mm spacers in the back because my rears are tucked way in towards the middle.

i didnt realize fwd was different lol

RE: Name the wheels.

The bottom pic of my car above is post drop. In both pics the wheels are 18x8.5 with 25mm spacers.

I wanted the bronze 17x9's but i think the 20et wont fit (so they said on vortex).

The 18x8.5 silvers I want are +38...i.e. OEM offset. Plus they're 20lbs, probably only a pound or so more than the 17x9's.

They probably would fit with spacers, but with 25mm spacers you're only actually going to space them out 7mm farther than stock, so it might not look that good.

The 20et puts them just outside the fender as is and i think they wont clear the brakes. Edgeracing has some new ones i think will work for me now. Oh, and the 17" will be easier to turn and be faster than 18" even with = weights.
