Dang it, they are ET29 afterall
I was looking at the wrong number on the wheel. They are 29 offset and they are 9'' wide.
So what are my options? They pretty much will not fit on the B7 A4 right?
Maybe I sell them and put the $$$ toward some replicas? I kinda like the gunmetal and titanium colors better than silver anyway.

unless you go a bit Euro-geek with the smaller tire 235 (for 9" rim) and have some rim sticking out. You can make it work if you really want to.

I'm just saying that nothing is impossible
But his results will probably not be worth the effort required.
Though some people actually prefer this look

but it's not to my taste.

yeah, that's the protruding rim look....

Your pic doesn't appear to be a B7 A4. Are you talking about rolling out flat this outer lip on the fender?

Re: here's a good example from Achtuning...
Keep the OEMs and have someone roll the fender. Saw OEM RS4 wheels on an S4 this weekend with rolled fenders and the car looks sick. Its especially nice with the right suspension.
