Cody-
The 7.5" wide BBS from a V8 or 200q20v will not fit your 5ktq in the rear
w/o flaring the fenders- offset is ET35 and 0.5" wider on top of that.

Have you considered contacting that guy Paul in Luxembourg? He had sourced
some Chinese Audi rear quarters for pretty cheap a while ago- then you might
as well put flared fenders front and rear on your car and run wider rubber
w/o any
issues.

If you want a lot of clearance, find a wrecked V8 or 200q20v, get the strut
uprights,
hubs, control arms and swaybars and all assoc. hardware and put that in the
front
end- you'll gain even more clearance, have the ability to bolt-on RS2
brackets and run
big brakes w/o issues and be able to use preexisting kits made for the UrS,
incl.
2-piece rotors and the like.

Your choices in tires in a 15" size severely limit the utility of running
15s, even though
they look really nice on a type 44. Isn't your 5ktq seriously powerful,
north of 300hp?
I'd be concerned about braking ability as well.
