Wide awake now though, who needs sleep
Got lucky! Glad everything worked out ok though. Soooo, pics nao?

I like Audi wheels for some reason. I'm weird. Don't they make a cheaper sub-version of your wheels though for roughly $250?

absolutely just do the spacers and lower your ride if you want to go for looks.
you'd want to run 20mm spacers front and rear if you're going to lower your ride, and run 285/35/19 tires on the back.

if u want to go more for driving keep the offset stock, run RE11's 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 and get a front swaybar 30-35% stiffer than stock.



audi wheels look good on an audi, but it's up to you. i like concave styling for our curvy cars.

Prolly cause they are

I'll have to go find that wheel thread on here and look at everyone elses concave wheel styles. The car came with amazing Yokohama Advant Sports on it that are brand new, so I don't want to get 285's just yet. I'll just offset slightly and call it a day.

Why RE11's specifically though? Just curious. I usually run Nitto Invos.
