Question about wheels & offset.....
Does anyone know what the offset is for a 99.5 A4 1.8TSM w/ 16" sport wheels. Also what is the least/most offset I can go (still staying w/ a 16" wheel) without problems. My sport wheels will turn into my winter wheels (with snows), and I would like to get another set of 16" wheels but going with a different offset to push the wheel/tire a little closer to the fender edge, for mostly apprearance.

Re: Question about wheels & offset.....
Measure the inside flange distance on the OEM wheels. If you go with any wider, split the difference, i.e. if you have a 6" wide rim with 4 " of offset and want to go with 7", look for a 4.5" offset.
The idea here is to preserve the steering pivot point on the contact patch.

Stock offset is 45mm for Audi wheels.
I would recommend 17" rims for summer tires. I am very pleased with the look and performace when I made the change.
Most aftermarket wheels are offset of ET 35 to 40 mm. Some like A! are 32mm.
