You have to know the offset to determine if they will fit. Also Audi has the wrong bolt pattern. You would need an adapter which would push the wheel even farther out. EDIT: I looked it up for you. Offset is +50 so maybe it will work but not with a 295. You may even have problems with the inner clearance. I wish you luck.

^What you said in your last sentence is why he figured he would need spacers. Our cars have more inner wheel clearance than most, therefore most people have to get spacers with wider wheels so they don't rub on the shock/spring.

Some of the Audi's are 5X112...

Thanks for the reply Topgun..I think I can sell my Axis wheels. They have new Kumo tires. I bought the car just like it is . Great wheels , Magnaflow, KN Typhoon, Cool blue pulleys, Ect from the bank,, It was a repo !! 05 with 21K Im not sure what Im going to do with it. I do think it's slow for a sports car. But i sure like it. Anyway I will change the wheels. Any other suggestions ? Do you like Nitto INVO tires ?

ON

well if I'm correct you cut the rim width in half and the offset is 50mm toward the face of the rim... correct me if I'm wrong, but yeah, if I used spacers to avoid rubbing or hitting the well it might push out too far unless I A: roll the fenders or B: widebody.. and if it's a different bolt pattern I could use the adapter as the spacer, two birds with one stone :P

Hey people i bought a 55 plate 8 few months ago and im looking at buying some new AVS F15 alloys for it.
These are the choices i have from the website:

5x114.3 19x8.5 ET+45
5x114.3 19x9 ET+47
5x114.3 19x9 ET+28
5x114.3 19x9.5 ET+45
5x114.3 19x10 ET+30

Can you please reccomend some sizes and offsets that will fit. I would like to have 19x10 on the rear and 8.5 or 9 on the front but am unsure on offsets and sizes that will fit it.
Could you also reccomend some tyres with them, i was thinking 245/35/19 front and 265/30/19 back??

Its a stock 8 so hasn't been lowered or anything.

Thanks

19x9.5 +45 rear and 19x9+47 front if you have to have staggered. You can fit the 19x9.5 +45 all around. 255/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear for the stagger and 275/30/19 all around for the nonstagger.

using 18x8 off 40?

Considering some new enkei wheels and I was wondering if these would work without rolling the fenders. I'm not to great at the offset thing. Tried to learn but became even more confused. lol

That's pretty aggressive and will need a fender roll at least to fit 225s all around. Good luck with that. Someone posted some rpf1 in the aggressive wheel fitment thread with that size/offset. Ask them for something a little more sure.

That will fit perfectly fine. You are moving the wheels out 10mm from the stock +50. You have a bunch more room. If you are buying new wheels, you might want something that fits a little "better." The lower the offset, the farther out the wheel sets with widths being equal.

Thanks a ton. What do you mean by "better"?

^He's talking about a more aggressive, wider wheel. For example. instead of 18x8 +40. Get a 18x9 +35. It will stick out farther from the hub and give your car a much more aggressive look/stance.

^Fronts will fit fine. Rears will fit on stock suspension. Will need slight roll if lowered.

On second thought. Stay with the +35. If you dial in some negative camber you will be fine.

Yea it will fit fine with +35 and 245/40/18 in the rear. You won't need a roll.
