Ignore the five spoke Fuchs, labeled incorrectly as Ronal. They are Fuchs (Darin was supposed to change that years ago).<ul><li><a href="http://www.s-cars.org/postnuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=arti cle&sid=155">http://www.s-cars.org/postnuke/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=arti cle&sid=155</a</li></ul>

On my car in the picture there is a 5mm Apikol spacer on the front and no spacer on the rear. BUT, I have a combination of Bolero's on that car. I originally bought 4 Bolero's from a guy in Montreal and they were OEM Euro spec Bolero's which were ET 40. You will see on the front of my car the lip of the wheel is a little different than the rear, this is one difference between the Euro Bolero and the kind you get at World Impex. When I bent 2 of the original Bolero's I ordered 2 replacements from World Impex which I have on the rear, these are ET35. They are TUV wheels and come in the official Audi boxes with Audi instructions so the World Impex variety are good wheels, just newer and with ET 35 offset.
So, to recap: The front wheels on the car above are ET 40 Bolero's with 5mm spacers. The rear wheels are Bolero's with ET 35 and no spacer.
The last reason I will give for that wheel sticking out so far is that it has a 255/40/17 tire on it, which I do not suggest unless you have mudflaps.

I had 255/40 ContiExtremeContact on C5 S6 ET 35 wheels last winter and the side of my car was forever plastered with road grime. Also, got a rub in reverse at full lock.
