I found a set of beautiful RS4 reps that are 17x7.5 and 30 mm offset, that should fit perfectly right?

Thinking about shoving 235/40/17 on them, read some other forums that folks had no problem running that size with a little bulge versus 225/45/17.

Also planning on grabbing H&R race springs at the same time, since I am not real knowledgeable in this area, I'm just trying to make sure it will all work out well.

You guys are great!

 

Should fit with no problem.

B5 RS4 reps or the B7?

 

B5 style, my fav, trying to stay with the theme of a car that was factory tuned.

 

OEM+

Apparently the setup below is 18X7.5 with ET30. You should get a feel of the setup.



^Running 225 tires.

 

those 225's look kinda small

Here's the look I'm going for



mine are going to be a wee bit more shiny

 

^ I believe that car is running 18X8.5 with 235's.

Why not go for 18's instead of the 17's?

 

Price point mostly, I don't think I've ever spent over 1000 dollars on tires and rims.

 

I retract that last statement, think I just found 18x8.5 with 35mm offset that I really really like.

 

Let me ask just one last question, if I am looking at 18x8.5 inch rim, what ET/offset should I look for, for fitment without spacers on a lowered car. 1.9 inch front 1.5 back.

 

How do you want the wheels and tires to sit? Do you want to poke at all?

Usually 8.5 wheels come with ET35 and you will sit somehow flush.
