I don't like how it looks, but that's not important. That's only meter of taste. A bit more important are facts that wider rear tires on a nose heavy car just improves under steering, that there is difference between front and rear diameter what makes mid differential to work overtime and that's one with limited slip, that they are quite larger than OEM what makes speedometer inaccurate and combined with larger rims kills performance and finally 30's profile kills ride quality.

Looks great. I don´t think the wheels look out of place. Normally 22s without lip look a bit overdone but this design works well IMO. I´m trying to find Bimotos in 21" as well but they are rare on the 2nd hand market, in good condition, so might end up with 22s as well.

Hi, everyone, long time reader, first time Poster. I will be having my calipers powdercoated, and im having trouble finding the PN for the S8 anti rattle clips. I do know that they can be bought as a separate part, and can be used with 04 model year calipers. I've seen other members on other forums with this mod, any help would be appreciated.
PS: my car is a 2004L, VagCom Lowered, Magnaflow exhaust (sounds real nice and stealthy), running 22x10.5 rear, 22x9 front, with Nitto Invos, and a "ebay" lip spoiler that was painted to match..

Of course if performance, including braking, doesn't matter, why would under steer.
And the quattro's torsen based center differential is only affected by running wheels of different rolling diameter not width.
I bought this car as a cruiser, ...

Actually the clips themsleves do nothing. It's just asthetics. I want to find a set, then powdercoat my calipers and put a regular audi logo on them. Just a minor mod. Something similar to this...

Nice car! I like them wheels on there. They dont stick out alot as to what I am used to seeing on cars with big wheels. I have a friend with a 06 750iL and he have 22's and they stick out at least 2 inches.
Is there any series # magnaflow that you went with? I see different series numbers on there website. What tips did you go with?
