I want to get rims for my a4 b7, dark blue.
i know i want to go up in size and go a little wider.
I would like input as to whether i should get 18s or 19s and how wide i should go.

I also want to know what the "offset" and "hub bore" are.

i like these wheels and am wondering if they would fit?

Our hub bore is 57.1 mm. If I recall, the S-Line wheel offset is ET42, but that requires spacers to bring it out more if you want it flush.

The stock tire on S-Line wheels is 235x40R18, so if you go up to 19 you'll want a lower profile to keep a similar outer diameter.

 

ok thanks for the reply!

my car isnt s line though

when i look at tires online idk how to tell if they are low profile

 

The first number is the width (in mm), then the aspect ratio (profile), then the wheel diameter.

You can check out this website to see what the effect of changing these parameters is: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp

 

thank you very much. you have helped a lot

 

I'm running 245/40 R18 on mine without any problems.
