Anyone know which is lighter? Fuchs URS4 16x8 or the 16x7.5 Avus?

Speaking of brakes, you decided you don't want my old ones, right?

I have to get them out of my living room before the woman gets mad. eBay time maybe.

Are you sure they won't clear?

Do you have ginormous rotors or something?

yes, i think..

when I bought the car, they came with 17's because the PO said 16's would not fit. The rotors are 330MM but i haven't really tried fitting the 16's. By looking at the clearance, there is about maybe 5-8mm gap between the wheel and the caliper. If I could fit the 16's i would be back to the stock Avus by now.

No but, I run the equivalent early A8 7 x 16 x ET40 wheels as my winter wheels. Looks fine but ...

the A4 wheels are ET 45 and need spacers, especially if you are running big brakes. I have to run 5 mm H&R spacers with the A8 wheels to clear my BIRA System 1 Porsche Boxster Brembos.
