Default B5 Avus 17" wheel offset

What is the correct offset for these wheels when used on our cars? Will a 45ET work? I know they come 45,42, and 35ET.

TIA

Default OEM only comes in 45. Replica's come in the other offsets. 45 works, though.

I'm not sure if they'll fit over a BBK, though.

Default B5 S4 Avus is ET45 only for real versions. It works fine - I'm using them now with a 10mm spacer.

I put it on mainly cause I wanted it to sit correctly in the fender. Without the spacer it still fits, and even clears the Big Reds... but it sits a little bit too far in for my taste.

Did you have to get longer wheel bolts to compensate for the 10mm spacers?

Default Correct - you should get wheel bolts to match the spacers. Most spacers can come with them.

Contact "Brian" at www.northeuropeanautomotive.com if you need suggestions. I got mine from them and the total came to right around $200 including wheel bolts.

Thanks. I guess I'll make an offer on them.

Ditto what EvanUrS4 said. I am running them also with 10mm spacers.
