2009 Audi A4 with 18 inch VMRs Stock Suspension (Pics)

[jms493]

Some people have been asking be to post pics. I have finally been able to do it after a busy work week.

Yes it will be lowered. It is kind of nice not having to worry about rubbing or bottoming out anywhere.

Yep, the wheels looks great! But yeah, the wheel gap for the stock suspension is quite ridiculous on the B8. What are the specs of your tires BTW?

[Teej2008]

They look so small.. a true measure of the increased A4 size over my B6

[jms493]

For some reason it doesnt look as bad in person.

Are you planning on getting springs or coilovers?

[BMWBig6]

Looks nice, but seriously your next mod should be a tripod LOL.

[jms493]

A better camera would be nice.......I am on vaca and I think someone here has a nice camera.......willl try and borrow.

I like these wheels as they are definitely closer to the RS4s

The new stock 7 spokes seem to be less dished out...loses some impact.

Planning on using these wheels as a winter rim..should look great in gun metal.

Are you planning on getting springs or coilovers?

not sure yet....i wish there was more info about springs. Coilovers is doing it right and would be easier for the installer. Just in cost is close to a grand more.

we shall see.......I am not in a huge hurry yet. I spent enough money and the car doesnt even have 1000 miles on it yet.

holy man...needs a drop!

just kidding. (I bugged him to post pics pre-drop)

[ibiski]

Sorry, but to me that doesn't look attractive at all as the 18" wheels look very small in those B8 wells, not to mention a drop. 19" wheels would look a world better.

^^^read the OP! (suspension is coming)

The car will look great once lowered 1". The wheels look small because the body is riding so high. Once it's hunkered down it'll look great. The sport package cars are on 18" and look fine. The S4 is on 18" and looks fine...but the key is the ride height.


anyway, can someone photoshop a drop on here for him? Blake?

Here's a quickie PS

I've read it. No doubt the drop will improve things a bit, but the B8's wheel wells seem bigger than B7's, so 18's just look small and very stock-ish, even with a drop^

[jms493]

i like it with the drop!

yeah 19 inches would be nice but they are expensive and with my g-friend driving the car some times I am not taking the risk of a bent rim. Plus 18 inch wheels ride pretty hard....19 inch wheels must be a little rougher.

Huh?!? If you compare them to a Jeep Grand Cherokee then the yes, they will give you more feedback, but by no means I would call the ride "rough". As far as the price, I believe the reps are only $100 more for 19" and a set of tires would run you $100-150 more over 18's, so all together I think the price increase of $250 is insignificant, but hey if you like the 18's, that's all that matters.

[sakimano]

nice

hopefully everyone will get off the OP's balls for a while!

[LI Audi]

did you go with all season 18"s?

[jms493]

did you go with all season 18"s?

yeah all seasons

[B_Boy]

add some really gloss tire shine...lol. it will help make the tires look thinner hahahaha

its called the slimming effect lol, ask a girl they would know

[AE Performance]

Looks good! What suspension are you going with? Let me know if we can be of any assistance with that if you haven't picked out a setup yet.

[jms493]

Some new pics...same car but 17 months later at 16000 miles. Still love the car.

[Okan509]

Jealous of the color

[Ryan_T]

I wanted Aruba originally. Such a nice colour.

This looks great.
I know AZers are enthusiasts and they GOTTA have their drops and all... but for average Audi lovers with daily driving purpose, this is very much enough and it looks great.
I'm very much contemplating between 18 and 19s right now...
