Jeff,
You're running this wide of a rim without any mods to the
rear fenders??????????? What's the offset on all four rims?
2.5" above stock heighth? I've seen your web page and the five spoke
pearl rims look very nice. So does your car stand above stock spring
heighth? What rims are you willing to part with? Another lister just
informed me that the new A4 16x7's will fit because the offset is
45mm. I never would have guessed this! I will never pay this price per
rim!
