Re: *Pic Heavy* New wheel set-up ideas

Matt what are the offset on your wheels? +45?

Yeah, 45. Im running a 5mm spacer up from and a 20mm spacer on the rear.

Holy **** +60 offset!!!

Your gonna need atleast like 20-25mm spacer for them to look good IMO

I agree.

According to the wheel calculator that I use. They will be 1.1 inch closer to suspension and .4 inch closer to fender. Compared to my current setup.

Spacers will make me have to get rolled and pulled. And idk who does it around here, let alone idk if I wanna spend the money and mess up my bodywork like that.

It is so easy. I would roll your fenders in a heart beat. All you need is a heat gun and a wooden sphere shape or a bat, and a jack. I've done them and I've had no issues with mine like paint chipping for over 9 years now

I'm still 99% sure that I am going to get the 8thGen wheels. But When I do, I am not initially going to purchase spacers. I'll space them out after they're installed.

A retired fellow that I know just upgraded from his older last gen A6 to a new gen A6 3.0T. And it came with these wheels on it. Long story short I love them.
