Default Rim info???

Hello everyone!

I am currently looking to buy a set of BBS LM's and a set of lowering suspensions. I have a few questions, sorry I am new to Audi's. I currently own a 2001 A4 1.8T, here are my questions:

1. What is my bolt pattern?

2. What width size of tire should I be looking at? 7.5? 8?

3. Should I go for 18's? Or 19's? Is the ride really that much worst with 19's?

4. What kind of suspension should I go with? I was looking at the Tein Luxury springs. What kind of shocks should I use with them? I was also, looking into electronic damper kits, what do you all suggest?

bolt pattern is 5x112. width depends on the offset of the wheel. i have 19x8.5's 225/35 h&r lowering springs, about 3.5" drop and my front dont rub.....but not by much. rears are ok. they ride pretty good for 19's.

You should probably get more knowledge about wheels and our cars before spending that much money =|

Thanks, but I got a buddy who bought a brand new set in November and haven't even touched them but now he's hurting for cash so he's selling them to me for $1000.

What kind of shocks are you using? Or are you still on stocks?
