Re: Are you getting new wheels? If so, what's the offset? Are you going to lower the car?
How does the offset matter in that case ?
I belive on Sport package wheels which are 235/17 is 7.5offset if I am not mistaken...
No I will keep the Audi Sport Suspension but yes I will put aftermarket wheels on it.
I wonder if under heavy load will the fender or smth else rub ??
Again does offset matter in terms of fitting ?

The offset for the stock 17" wheels is 45mm.
In general terms the lower the offest the more the wheel will "stick out." A 30mm offset wheel will sit out much more than 45mm offset wheel. Therefore, bringing the wheel closer to the wheel well/fender lip. It's something to consider when lowering a car. Since you are keeping the stock suspension I think a 255 tire might work. It's hard to say since were are braking new ground when is comes to the modifying of our cars.
