Audi A8 4.2 V8 stanced

Thanks.

I don't understand why noone ever made 20" reps of the 5 spoke star wheels.

I'm not a fan of big wheels but these look great on this car.

Thanks chaps

Looking great, 22s are just right, it`s a big car

i disagree, the 22"s fill out the wheel wells perfectly. awesome stance without having to worry about scraping. looks good mate.

20s was my first thoughts but 22s were actually cheaper overall oddly. Probably due to the 4x4 market I guess. Other issue with 20s is to get the arch gap I wanted the car would of been way too close to the floor for everyday use. As it is I can clear humps & bumps and in "lift" mode get into multi-stories, just. I've already got an E46 M3 I can't take anyway because of clearance issues!

Thank you for your honesty tho.

Agreed I think 20's would of been perfect. Props for being different though

Nice man, but those wheels are way to big for that car, 20s would look way better

Picked up this 4.2 V8 A8 at the end of January for a fair price. Well specced and came with an LPG conversion which was the main selling point - power, luxury and 2ltr diesel fuel costs.




2 rear tyres needed replacing and fortunately for me the wheels were also slightly buckled so good excuse for new rims Fitted some lowering links while I was at it. I have to say the ride is still really compliant! If you hit a pothole or dipped drain cover you know about it but other than that still smooth just very small amount of bounciness on the B roads. No rubbing on the inner linings or arches, clear just right without needing crazy camber. Just need a decent photo session now with a good camera & location.
