Here's my barely lowered facelift A4 Avant on 18" MB wheels.
Have had the MB wheels layin' around for years, but thanks to AndreasL's thread, I got the push I needed to finaly try them on. I think they'll stay for a while.
Tires in the picture are 215/35 Nankang NS-II, but it's now fitted with 225/40 ContiSport's. Next time I will probably get some 215/40 sized rubber on there.
Suspension is Bilstein B8's with 30mm Eibach Pro-Kit springs (sold as a set altogether). Arches are filled in a little better now, with the slightly wider/higher profile tires. It should have been lower though, especially in the front.
I don't want it to be uncomfortable, or spend too much money on coilovers. An option is getting more grooves cut in the dampers, but I would hardly be able to get the corners matching completely. I could get coilover sleeves for the Bilsteins - Anyone tried that?
The car has high km and just got a "new" engine. Paint (much needed, all the way down), OE optional roof spoiler, new plates and some tint is some of the mods to come.
