Anyone with 22" Wheels on their A8?

Thanks. They are Road Force RF15's. I think they are easier to clean than the stock wheels. The low dust EBC red brake pads help too.

[QUOTE=BruceLeroy1984;24835771]I mounted my 22x10.5's over the weekend and I'm happy with the turnout.
ET is +40, I'm running 12mm spacers in the front to clear the brakes and 10mm spacers in the rear. I also lowered 15mm via vcds and haven't experienced any rubbing. Tire's are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 285/30/22.

Great looking vehicle.. Was wondering about the spacers you used. You stated the you used a wider spacer in the front ? Also , im currently running a 22x10.5 et 42 all around with a 15mm spacer wrapped on 265/30 which fits perect. Im installing 295/30 for my new set and im trying to determine how much of a reduction i need on my spacers.

The 12mm spacers I added only gives me about 1mm worth of clearance but it has worked well and I haven't had any issues.
With an et42 I don't think you could go lower than a 15mm spacer to clear in the front. My tires are 285....a 295 series will stick out a bit more. You may have some rubbing depending on how much you're lowered.
Edit* My wheels are concave so unless yours are similar spacer sizing could be different.
