I was able to pick up a set of Rims for a real good price (not my first choice, but budget won over heart....)

I ordered

staggerd setup:
19x8.5 front et 35
19x9.5 rear et 40

I recieved an email today from the company..

EXPLAIN TO ME THIS...

"Oh yeah, I threw in the hubring for free. You do need to get
turner lugs for your car."

What the heck does ^^^^^ mean??

Thanks boys and girls.

Maybe he meant 'tuner lugs'? Though I'm still not sure what that meant...unless he means longer? Or maybe conical seat lugs, rather than the Audi standard ball seat.

Tuner lugs are not your run of the mill lug bolt that comes with the Audi. They are installed using a special tool, simlar to an allen key.
The diameter of the head is typically very small, like 3/4". These lugs are particularly common on wheels that have multiple lug bolt drill holes, where lug bolt holes are spaced very close together.

I typicaly recommend against wheels that use tuner lugs, since the lugs are generally lower quality. You have to use their special tool for installation, and finding wheel locks, or longer bolts (if you need to run spacers) is nearly impossible.

You can probably search eBay for a quick picture of what a tune lug looks like.

Just use spacers with longer conicle bolts for both?
20mm back and 15mm front?

And forget the tuner lug portion?

Thanks guys!

Tuner lugs are usually required if the bolt holes on the wheels are small.
If you can fit a standard lug bolt in the bolt holes on the wheels then you're fine. If the bolt holes are small in diameter, you have to stick with tuner lugs.

Thanks man! I appreciate your help.
