17x8", 30mm offset on a 4kq or Coupe GT?

[Jonathan Monetti]

Sorry I'm not adding to the solution here, rather adding a question in the
same vein...

I saw a set of NOS ACT/Ronal mesh (4x108 15x7) for sale.  The sellers
(2bennett) told me I would have to roll the rear fenders, or these would rub
(CGT).

I know they are pretty much an authority on many things Audi, but it seemed
to me if that if I went -1 on the tire, I'd be in pretty good shape under
there...anyone BTDT?

Thanks
Jonathan Monetti

>Ken, if you're referring to a set of certain ABT wheels that I know about,
they likely won't fit, they are designed to stick out past the fenders about
1", >like you say, "German Style".  And if you don't wnat your fender to rub
on a significant portion of the actual tread, then these probably aren't a
good decision.  The sellers have some experience with fitment as well, so
you should chat with them to see what they think.

wondering mostly about how well they would fit, and less so how they might
look (since >that's a personal thing).

maybe 40mm.

current convex-ish Revo's due to both the size and style.
