I just couldnt live with the crappy conservative offset on the factory wheels. I added 12MM spacers on the front and 15MM rear. H&R spacers, they fit the wheels and hubs perfectly. The overall appearance is more aggressive and it seem to add a bit of beef to the car.

Here are some crappy phone pics.

Same here, I did 12mm front, and 15mm rear. Certainly an improvement. Could have gone 15mm front and 20mm rear, but I'm happy with the improvement.

Really, I think 20mm would be a bit much on the rear. I happy as well with the stance now.

My front and rear are both 26mm further out than stock.

What tires do you have on the car? The Pirelli's? I think there's something about the profile of the Pirelli that makes it look skinny and not flush with the fender. When I need new tires, I'm going to try to find something with a larger section width to get closer to the fender.

Harsany, can you take a pic or two (crappy or not) on the side of the car the sun is shining on? Hard to tell with the side of the car in the shade.

I'm picking up an S6 next month (it's on a ship bobbing around in the ocean right now) and I'd like to get a better idea how 12/15 looks.

Is your car lowered, BTW? That'll definitely make a diff with respect to how much spacer to use.

Oh yeah, been lurking for a while - first post, hi everybody and stuff.

The car came with Bridgestones Potenzas Pole position S001. I'll take some better pics

You bet. My car is not lowered, just the factory height in the dynamic setting.
