What came off: Stock V8Q flat-face wheels, 7.5 by 15, ET 35, with 
Bridgestone "Eager" tires (ugh), size 215/60 R15.

What went on: Five spoke Audi A4 sport wheels, 7 by 16 (not sure of the 
offset, I think it is 45, but it is inside the wheel, and I'm not taking it 
off to read it), tires are Continental Touring 205/55 R16.

15mm spacers *required* to clear UFOs, also used at back of car so the 
track matches front and rear, and to restore original stance.

Result - car is about 3/8" lower, *just* noticeable, everything fits, 
nothing rubs, it seems to ride much more smoothly (probably the BS tires 
are, well, BS), and oh yeah, it LOOKS GREAT!!! These wheel really dress up 
the car, and with the usual understated Audi finesse.

Best Regards,

Mike Arman
