For those who've added a wheel package to sit flush with the wheel arches, what width and offset do you have?
I can do the math from my OEM Challenge R112 wheels 17x7 wide @ 48mm offset, but need a reference point to confirm.

what diameter, and is the suspension stock?


Cheers,

Charlie

 

I run 17" Enkei PF01 with 38 mm offset and 215/45 17 tire. Looks like there is a little more, perhaps 10 mm you can go.

 

BTW, forgot to mention, I have -1.8 camber so that might make a difference.

 

Would be a 17", but that's irrelevant. Diameter doesn't affect wheel placement from centerline of the car.
It won't be on OEM suspension; either a Koni, Biltstien, or Tein coilover package.

Charlie, thanks, appreciate it.

What width? That's critical.
Have any images to show your current set-up?

Here's my 16x8 et33 with -6 camber. About as flush as possible.

Without the arches so you can see the clearance



Overall look

 

Do mine count as sitting flush or would you say I poke Rally? lol

 

Rally, how about some pics with the Audi rims on the car.

 

Mine are close 17x7.5 et 38. id say with a et 35 or so itd help that little bit more. Im just lowered on H&Rs...no crazy camber here.

 

Definitely poke

These are 17x7.5 et40 205/40/17 and they come out to be just about flush...especially with the -6 camber in the rear. They do tuck unlike the BBS rs's, though.

running stock tires on my 17" crown wheels that are a 17x7 et48 I use a 15mm spacer on a slightly lowered car and the wheels are flush and do not rub. My aftermarket wheels are a 17x7 et 40 with a 235-40-17 Dunlop Star spec which have a very wide tread and they rubbed in the rear till I trimmed the plastic fenders. I then went to Yokohama Advan AD07s in the same size but found they were even wider then the Dunlops and rubbed again. Solved that problem with Bilstein HD struts.

 

How on earth do you drive that. If you hit a bump.. how does that even work. What um yeah explain how you drive that thing.

 

Adjustable suspension.

It also clears due to the swing angle of the multi-link suspension and the stretched tires. No rubbing or hitting.

 

17x7 et38.

 

You must not have many pot holes, and very nice roads. Or thats not a daily driver.

 

Its an airbag suspension. Its only that low when parked, when he drives it he raises it up.

He is from Ohio = not the best roads and I'm pretty sure it is a daily driver.

 

15X7 and 16X7 35et. Pretty flush and no rub with BC coils lowered about 1 inch.

 

It's a daily driver. Just recently put on over 4k miles in May driving up and down the east coast to attend various car shows. Northern Ohio gets some pretty serious winters so our roads are ridden with the same potholes you see everywhere. Our roads are garbage here

 

Oh didn't know you raised it up to drive it. If not you wouldn't be able to drive in like and inch of snow lol.

 

Yah I raise it about 1-2 inches when driving. I still plow snow with my bumper constantly.

 

Oh alright that makes sense, my car looks to be about 1.5-2 inches higher than that and its rough with big bumps, some of them hurt my soul.

 

I'm gonna guess you're probably a bit higher than 1.5-2 inches. Overall my cars is dropped about 7 inches

 

Yea, Rally is two inches lower then me and I am all the way down on my coilovers.

 

Yeah your right, i didn't take in account rim side and tire depth. i have 17's and i think my tires are 215/45

 

Added some spacers and went a bit more flush.
