I was looking at your pictures thinking the setup looked pretty good as far as the fender/wheel/tire relationship, and why you were still considering spacers. OE 20's are +60mm and I was considering something +50 with 295's, but I like yours even better. OE 21's are +44mm so that makes sense.....I'd likely still need spacers with +50.

Like some others I'd love to install the 21" fender trim painted silver to match the car which would necessitate a bit more offset or spacer, but with the ridiculous cost it likely won't happen. Can someone please aftermarket the fender trim and let me know when it's ready for purchase?

Thanks Honda, I have always dug the X5 M5 version? look with the wider wheels in the back. I could not find any wheels or tires that were matching/affordable with wider/staggered app. Hoping if I used a smaller spacer on the back it would not look hokey and somewhat "staggered". I am in the process of putting the aftermarket wheels back on and am planning on taking some more measurements to see what rear spacer would look ok.

And yes, I have been searching for those S-Line stick on flares at an affordable price for about 3 years...

You're right in the affordable department.....the only way to get front and rear wheels with a different "stagger" a la BMW and others is to go with a two or three piece wheel. Exactly what I want and exactly what I have to save money for while I burn down the crappy Nexen Roadian HP's that came on the CPO car. I've had mud tires on trucks that were quieter.....

Hopefully I won't get berated by the purists, but I'll likely end up here because they're close to me: http://www.bozeforged.com/ I just don't like wheels with the spokes all the way out to the rim, aka no lip. For me this isn't an Audi thing, I don't like it on any car. Guess I still have a little Hot Rodder in me.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Same here, dig the lip on a wheel-any wheel. All I can say about those wheels is they are NICE!!

The purists can check out the Audi Gallery from their site:

I am a pretty big fan of install what you like (within reason... heh heh). The lifted green or purple Q7 posted in another thread with the 30" chrome wheels is a perfect example of not within reason).

Default OEM 21" Wheels

keep in mind he has the s line fender arches that add half an inch, if you dont add those as well you will have some poke.
Do you have pictures of the 5-spoke wheels in these pictures up close? They look different from the S-Line 20's available in the US. Also, your picture show the 21" 7-Spoke at the top, and then transitions to several pictures with this 5-spoke wheel and it's a little confusing. Ultimately, I like the 5-spoke in the pictures and want to know if they are OEM S 20's or OEM 21's?

if you're interested i have a set of 4 with long bolts and oem audi caps.
