Transform the look of your TT - add spacers and new wheels:
Decided spring is here to stay and removed my winter wheels yesterday. Replaced them with my new RS4 replicas and added 15mm spacers to the front and 25mm spacers to the rear from Eibach. Wow! I have not made any change to the appearance of my TT that is so striking and so agressive looking. I really think it has transformed the look of the car. It has a 1.1" drop (Eibach springs) with new 18" RS4s spaced out very nicely. I love my car all over again! See complete set of pictures at the link below.

I'm wanting to do the same. Are your
tires 225/40/18's or did you go to 235/40/18's. I already have RS4's (ALMS). I'm not too sure about spacing with the bigger tires & Eibach springs.???

Re: The tires are 225/40/18 though the 235s should work, too.
I ran into a situation with a new A4 2.8 Q in 1998. I bought some 17" Ronal R28's and probably oversized a the tires a bit. I ended up having to machine 3mm off of the mounting surface of the front wheels to keep them from rubbing. I don't want to do that again.
