Offset help from some B5 A4 owners

[colinisneat]

I tried to search around and I'm looking for a real specific answer I guess. I'm trying to figure out offset for a new set of wheels.

I have to use an adapter for the new wheels and so it will automatically be spaced out a minimum of 15mm.

I do not want to pull fenders, my fronts are rolled and I'm not looking to tear up my fenders at all. So my current setup has me at et20 in the rear with a 9.5 and et23 up front with an 8.5.

The wheels I am looking at are 17x9 et33 in the front and 17x10 et33 in the rear.
With the 15mm adapter it will put the front at et18 with a 9" wheel and et18 in the rear with a 10" wheel.

Will these offsets work without having to pull the fenders? I will probably do a lot of stretch and run a 205/45/17 on the 9 and a 215/45/17 on the 10, still up in the air though.

Thanks for the help I appreciate it, sorry if these answers are somewhere else.

My is instinct telling me no. The RFs were 17x8.5 et19 and although they had 215/40s on them they rubbed like crazy even after I raised the front of the car. The extra stretch will help but et18 on a 9 puts you 7mm further out than this:

I'd say you'll have to hammer the fender for at least a half an inch.

Thanks for the help guys. I keep getting mixed responses and I have a guy waiting to sell me this set. I need to figure out what offsets will get me as flush as possible, with out having to pull fenders.

How tight is the roll on your front fenders? I trimmed mine and they still rubbed in that shot, but again my tires were too bog.

They're rolled pretty flat. My RS's are 8.5 at et23 right now and I have a lot of room to go out.
