Alright guys
So I'm looking to get wheels for the allroad. I've tried to seek help on the allroad forum but i get nothing but useless replies like you "you drive an allroad, wana stance it trade for an A6" extra...... Any who I don't know jack about stancing a car other then lowering then car. So I'm looking into geting some 18x9.5 -10, the offset for the stocks are 17x7.5et45. I have no clue what will work, what type of offset I will need, what et 45 means(I will assume offset?) And how to achive the look I want.

I'm wanting the rear wheels to poke out more then the front for an agressive look and im wanting to lower the car low enough to make it look like iv had significant snout of drop.

Please help me understand more lol sorry for my newbness :lawl:

Et = offset.

Anything below 30ish will be some poke on our cars depending on wheel size.

Look through people who runs 17-18's with 7-10 width wheels and youll get a good idea.

Personally anything between 17-18x7-10 with 20-35 offset will look nice.

Lol its all good but basically your saying the lower the offset the greater the poke and the higher the offset the more tucked the wheel will be?

^Yes....

...but this is all relative because none of us here have put wheels on an Allroad. We know the ins and outs of fitments on Accords and maybe a few others, but I doubt anyone can really tell you what specs are going to look good on an Allroad.

Not trying to be an ***, just don't want you to end up buying something that doesn't fit. Try a couple other Audi forums?

No your far from being an *** I was just tryin to get some knowledge with the wider fenders all around I'm sure it'll be diffrent from most set ups. And yeah im on some audi forums but 99.9% of the allroad members are not about the low life look but the .1% that are are not replying so I came to seek info from you guys

Ok so I thought the car sat at 45offset all around but I was way wrong lol the car sits at 25offset all four corners.
So the stock wheels sit just a little bit inside the fenders ,so to get that look in the back should I get +25 with 10mm spacers to achive that look or will I need to go with a lower offset.

My thoughts would be to stay with the +25 with spacers cuz I'm thinking wider the 10" width on the rears wouldn't that effect the tires rubbing ?

the width of the wheel will make a difference for what offset you need. offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to where the spokes are. so a 0 offset means the spokes are right in the middle of the wheel. soo... a 8 inch wide wheel with a +25 offset will have a smaller lip than a 9" wide wheel with a +25 offset
