Rccommended Offset For 2.7T

what is the offset i'm looking for? 18 x 8 with 35mm offset? does that sound about right? i don't want any rubbing with 235/40/18 tires.

thanks

Yup, that's what you want...

Mine is 18x8.5 w/ the same offset. No rubbing complaints w/ either an 8" or 8.5" wheel and using those size tires. You should be fine.

BTW, what make/style wheels are you looking at?

i have a set of Speedline 2209's that were on my passat - but they have an offset of 31mm - i'm afraid that might cause some rubbing, but i'm not sure is 4mm will make much difference or not? any ideas?

Will a 31mm offset cause any rubbing?

I highly doubt that would make a difference...

and shouldn't rub, but you could ask over at AW's Wheel/Tire forum just to double check. Heck, I've seen wheels w/ offsets between 30 - 38 for our Audis. I don't see why ET31 won't fit.

BTW, good to see another Speedline owner here. Not too many of us around.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/forum/wheel.html">Wheel/Tire Forum</a></li></ul>

Great looking ride........I've been debating over staying with my 17" stock bbs style or going to the 18" RS4's......Your picture just convinced me! Thanks.

btw...are those replica or OEM?
