Re: A4/A8 wheel size?

[Wolff <quattro200@earthlink.net>]

Well I thought it was the other way around, but looking at ETKA, the A8
5 spoke 7Jx16 wheels (4D0 601 025L) are listed as 37mm offset, while the
A4 7x16 five spoke wheels (8D0 601 025 J) are listed as 45 mm offset. I
think I have the 37mm which definatley rubs in the back on the fenders
in hard corners. The A4 wheels may be a better choice for that
clearance, however, I don't know whether they would hit the tie rod ends
on the inside. I like the look, and the steering is crisper than with
the 15's as well.
