Smile Rim/Wheel Size
So I'm looking into rims, and it looks like I was going to go with a 17x7.5, 5-112, but I don't know what isn't going to flush. Anyone got any tips?

I mean, what type of offset wont make my rim look like it's shooting out of the car.

I was also looking into the Audi S6 2007 OEM Rim. 19x9, 5-112, 52... ******* huge... too big? Will I not be able to turn?

There a lot of A4's and S4's running 19's. Too big IMO. They belong on B6's. 18's fit perfect on B5's and 17's make great track rims.

^ 1+ ideally. That will give you a nice stance with no spacers. 235 for tires
