Fair comment.
The lights don't work it was an experiment and I will refurbish my old lights back to clear lenses in the future and I did state it's a little over at the front but I will probably buy spacers a few mm shorter and fit.
It's all a bit trial and error and I will get it right eventually.
The front although out a little do look good but it will fall into the illegal category
hence I will probably drop them down 5mm.

Looks aggressive, but bear in mind that you will pepper the whole side of the car top to bottom with rocks and gravel with them that far out.

The car looks badass and with the W12 it's a beast. Tracking it for giggles 18" for sure. But for looks there is too much girth in the A8 body and it begs for minimum 20" ideally 22's. Air suspension so with my 20's the ride was pretty decent you could feel the road and it handled well. I miss it.


Back in the day they used hub caps and whitewall tires to expand the visual size of the wheels, but man they need spacers bad:

Cheers guys I'm getting their
Visually this car either loves what you do or it hates it.

Returned the front headlights to normal but I need to refurb them as they are in terrible condition.

It looks great but the front is 2/3mm over very slight but as stated it will kick a lot of crap up the side of the car and cause pitting so it's back to the wallet I think

I may sell my original 19s and invest in some big 20s later down the line but this car is bleeding me dry lol
I wanted as much as possible to return it to its former glory but I think she needed a little more love and attention then i thought.
I suppose keep going as will be worth it when done.

As long as it's mechanically good, it's at your leisure. Even an imperfect W12 is quite a presence on the road.

Too much spacing in that front pic--that might even be enough to have wheel hit fender lip under a lot of compression. And yes, even regular spacing will chew paint more at the margin in rocker panel area. This will start to dust the fenders themselves. If you are using 9's w/ 275's, the next best best spacing I found works out to about ET 34--46mm wheel offset on factory 9's IIRC with a 12mm spacer. 15 is more aggressive and starts to show a little more tire in front ward part of wheel well viewed from above; still a far less extreme version of your pic. You would need to work the math w/ your wheel and tire combo.
