Seriously, skip them. 18" is a good size for these cars for all-around driving. The 19s worked out for me, although I looked like a drunk driver dodging rough sections of road, and the ride was harsher. 20s are honestly too big for the B5 body. An A6 can pull it off, an A8 looks good on them, but an A4 is just too small to wear them without compromises in ride and drivability, acceleration, braking, etc

-I'm being a bit hypocritical here, because every vehicle I've owned before my current B5 & MDX had a system in it.
I was also the neighborhood/"I know a friend" system hook-up guy. I even went & got (and still have) my MECP certification, just because I knew I could pass the test.
Having said that: I have every right to make fun of the lames who don't know what a proper, classy setup is............So lets just throw that **** in there and see if we can make the trunk rattle louder than the suspension.

Lol that makes one of us then. Maybe because I'm a senior citizen (I'm 39), and I live in NY where the roads suck, but I just think the wheels are dumb for all the reasons I listed above. The proportions are off, there's no room for suspension travel - it's just cartoonish.

I remember when JBL 12"s were honkin' back in the 60s. Damn old school for sure. Fender Bassman turned up and rockin'
