im thinking of overhauling the audi now going for style and comfort

so plan is to change the alloys and drop the moverbich,

i need to know what offset my car is and what style wheelss can i run with 20mm hnr spacer/aapters


i was thinking of still having llike a 8j alloy so 225 as they are now, but id strecth, so im wondering would it fit on my car

i was thinking that the a3 is very similar to a mk4 so needed to know off someone else whos done something similar

You would subtract 20mm for adaptors. Google A3 offset to find the stock wheel offset then use the calculator to compare (obviously you would need to put a stock wheel on the measure the difference but, if you have aftermarket alloys look for the width and ET and use that as a stock wheel).

Tyre size depends on how low you go, its better to check the wheel position before you get tyres if possible unless you can ask someone thats running a similar set-up.

MK4 wheels usually run offsets between 42 and 36. The BMW wheels I've put on have an ET of 41 and a 20mm adapter takes the offset to 21. The wheels sit flush with the front and nearly bang on with the rear. They're with 7.s's

the wheels i want is 8j, et 35, my wheels are 8j et 35, but i need adapters so it wd be 20mm wider, but just need to know how much i can lowere it or wd i neeed shims or flaring :/
