Default Just ordered Velocity RS4 reps 19x8.5 w/ET38 offset

Is this the best size option for an '06 A4 2.0TQ? They also had ET45 and ET48 but the sales rep thought those would not be flush with the wheel well like the ET38.

I'm very clueless when it comes to offsets and would really appreciate the advice of the knowledgeable readers and posters here.

The wheels don't come in until mid May so I have some time to alter the order if necessary.

My car is silver and I ordered the gunmetal wheels. I'm a lil torn on that as well. I'm not sure how good GM on silver will look.

I'll post pics once they arrive and are put on.

Thanks everyone!

Default i have to ask ...

why would you order the wheels if you have so many burning questions?

what i know:
yes - et38 are good for b7
gunmetal will look good, if thats your cup o'tea. personally, i like silver on silver.

good buy though ... VMRs are nice.

Default Yes Sales Rep is on point....get ET 38's or else you will need spacers

Also I like gun metal on silver...but again that's personal choice.

If you like the tucked in look for the higher offsets, otherwise the ET38's should fit just right without spacers.

Well, the wheels are on back order so I have a few weeks to change my order if I want to. But I wanted to at least get in line to make sure I got a set in the upcoming May shipment.

Anyway, thx for the response. I really appreciate the knowledge and input found on this site.
