TSW wheels

About the TSWs,

I got the TSW catalog yesterday in the mail.  They list 15x7,16x7.5 and 17x7.5
for the Audis.  This includes a 16x7.5 for the V8.

The offset on all of them is 35mm. My Fuchs 15x7s say ET45 on them so you can
figure the 10mm difference on offset but then you have the extra width too.  I'm
not sure if the extra 1/2" width all went on the inside leaving them to loose
10mm of offset back to positive.  Was that clear?

Whatever they also say some fenderwell mods are needed in the rear with the 16s
and 17s.  That was for sure on the 5ks.  I'll look to see if they say so on the
V8.

I'm not at all surprised that those 17s and no-profile wheels got beaten to
death.  Roads in CT,NY,NJ where I drive are also crap. I95 alone will kill them.
Try driving in NYC.  That has kept the 15s on my Merkur and most likely will
keep them on the 5ktq also.

Hope that helps.
