Default i agree that looks flush. check out the pics from jam_econo above

those are 25mm. i think you'll agree with me that in his pics, it definitely sticks out.

something doesn't add up here. i don't think the disconnect is in my terms, i think it's in the math. there is a mistake somewhere.

Default i think the front can be made to look pretty flush ...

without showing too much tire -- check this shot:

ps. i dig your ride too :-)

Default Agreed. Could be that his ride is not as low as mine, causing it to look like it sticks out more...

Unless his wheels are 8,5" wide or his offset is less than ET35. Nice edit BTW

Yep, but the rear is kind of hidden in the arch...

Default i think his pics are with the rs4 wheels we're talking about ...

i agree that if he drops it, it won't look like it sticks out as far (i commmented on this above), but i still don't think it will end up looking like your pics.

are you positive that about the axle on a non-quattro car being 4mm longer per side? any chance it's 4mm <i>shorter</i> per side? i think that would make everything add up.

hmm.

Default rear offset has been changed since that pic was taken

i've since brought it out another 3mm, to 19x8.5ET17. i could believe that going down to ET15 would be okay too, but beyond that it will start looking "out there".

Default I'm going 15/20.

Just ordered them from evolution sports, thanks for the input. 25 is a little too aggressive for me I think. TTear's car looks great, though!

Default Positive

The wheel was 18x8 with ET35. Anyway, it could be the pictures' fault or something.

I bet you wouldn't want to comment on my current setup with 18x9,5 ET22 rears...
