Default Getting back into a TT

Had a 225 Mk1 in 2001, modded it pretty extensively and sold it back in 2004, leaving the Audi family. Bought my B7 RS4 at the beginning of 08 and had it since. I'm about to pull the trigger on a Glacier White 16 with tech, B&O, 20's and red calipers. Wondering what's the most aggressive wheel offset one can use. Thinking of throwing my wheels from my RS4 on it. Wheels are 19x10 ET 30.

my old TT - miss her

Are you going to a TTS from the RS4 or a TT?

Sorry, I meant to ask if you were going to the TT or a TTS. Sounds like the latter

I understand. I retired my 2001 TT (mostly) and drive a 2010 Cayman S. I still get the TT out from time to time and it still makes me smile. I think I'll be shopping for a Mk3 TTS. They are just pleasant cars. I miss driving one daily too.

I shopped around for a 15/16 Cayman S and enjoyed driving it. However, after testing the TTS out, I thought it's amenities and technology was far beyond the Porsche. I also looked at the Alfa 4C, which was barren compared to the TT and drove like a go-kart. The TTS is a good compromise between the 3.
