I believe you are referring to this car.





Not my car.

Wow that needs to get low.

These wheels look pretty good on this B5 Passat

Here's a couple of pictures of mine. Not the best ones, but the best I have after the respray.
Not even completely assembled yet (things move a bit slow for me in the winter). It was originaly silver, but now it is L D5Q "Shadow Blue"

Wheels are B8 A4 OE 17" with 205/50R17 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R winter tires. Lowered with ECS add-on coilovers on Eibach/Bilstein B12 Pro Kit.
I've got a set of of similar 17" OE B8's with 225/45R17 for the summer.

GTF 25.35 front, 25.08" rear.







How it was before, with some rust removed in Photoshop:P With just the B12 Pro Kit I think, and 215/35R18 on MB 18x8"

I am fitting 255/40/18 dunlop winter sport M3 tires already on a RS6 18x8.5 ET30 on a B5. Right now, I have 235/45/17 on Konig wheels 17x8 ET35. The thing is the current wheels clear the fenders by a lot. I actually wonder why some of you guys need them rolled. The problem would seem to be the control arms, especially the rear ones. They are only half an inch away from the tires I have right now (17 in). Upgrading to 18 in with wider tires seems like an unworkable situation. Ironically, based on my setup, any rim over 17 and the tires should rub against the rear arms, so I don't know how you guys do it.
Someone needs to go to their car, check the clearance between their back tire and their control arms and reassure me. Especially the 18 and 19 in rim havers.

Quattr0, the noise

Im looking to do almost the same thing, im going to 18x8 et35 with 245/40/18s this winter also. im a little smaller but i dont know about the clearance. i run 16x7.5(et ????) 205/55/16 right now

I know this thread hasn't been used in a while but maybe we can get it going again! Curious to see who's running what now!
This is my 2001 b5 a4
Wheels: WCI CC10
18x9.5 et15 square
205/45/18 all around
Raceland coilovers :( (I know it's upsetting) more low to come when winters over !

I did the S4 brake upgrade.
Is there a list of wheels that fit WITHOUT spacers?

*could lower it much more if desired, but its a daily beater for me.

19s are a bit big i think, but i like those wheels.

[AristoPei]

I need a solid answer on this one and trust me ive searched. I know many will say "Just get 225's and run 10mm spacers." I get it... But what im asking advice for is which spacers do I get to fit my 18x8 b6 avus wheels with "235/40" tires. Thanks in advance. This is a narrow body, 1998 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro currently on stock suspension with a full S4 kit (If that matters)

[Joe Jr.]

use this website. you'll need to know the offsets on those wheels, which you can find on the inside of the wheels. plug in all the numbers and see where you're at.

19x8.5+35 on 235/35/19 Bridgestone S04 / Footwork is Bilstein HD’s dampers with Eibach ProKit springs. Surprisingly the ride is comfortable and when driven spiritedly very minimal pitch & roll which i was surprised.
