new audi owner with stock wheels and rims
 

i want to lower the gap space on wheels.
what should i do?
1. buy spring?
2. 18" or 19"

buy springs and shocks first to lower the car and decrease the gap
 

then buy larger wheels.

Lower first!! Do you have the stock 5-spoke 17's? If so, with a drop and spacer they can look good

^^^^ listen to this man^^^^
 

if you have non-sport suspension and buy larger wheels, the wheel gap won't go away - it'll actually look even worse cause you're going to look like an SUV.

Shocks and springs, then wheels.

Or better yet, coilovers and then larger wheels ;-)

thanks kraeburn, i have stock 5 spoke 17". what kind of spring i should get 1", 1.25" 1.5" or 2"?
and how is spacer workS?

I totally agree.

Spacers come in a variety of widths 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm and go between...
 

your wheel and your wheel hub to reduce the offset and push the wheel out towards the edge of the fender. It provides a very nice look when properly done.

work on suspension first, then wheels.
 

another option is to get 20's and say good bye to "GAPINA"

Do you (or any of you who use spacers) notice added road rash (m)
 

with your wheels pushed out more than stock?

I like the look of teh wheels pushed out from the fender (a bit) but have always been worried about rocks and crap hitting the sides of the car.

Thanks.
