[s-cars] Wheels and offsets, wheel alignment 93 S4

[Evan Levine]

Sam,
 We're going to be getting into opinions with this one, but in mine - 2mm is
practically nothing. Also, 2mm less offset actually means 2mm further away
from the car, not closer. If you had any concern about going wider in width,
the 2mm difference is working in your favor not against you. But again...
2mm is really not a lot.
 If you're not hitting the track or anything like that I'd just go with
factory spec alignment. Take it to a GOOD shop, let them know how you use
the car and that tire wear is most important to you, let them run with it.
