Default 18 X 7.5J or 8J?
and what's the different between 30 offset and 35?

Default 18" x 8", et35mm...means the "hub" of the wheel is 5mm further
from the centerline of the wheel than the 30mm offset.

HTH

Which also means an ET30 wheel will stick out 5mm more.

Default oh what's the original 17" sport wheel offset is?
wouldn't it look more cool to have ET30 instead?

Default It's pretty much flush with the fender right now...
w/ 225/40 18 S03's. I was running ET32 rims w/ 235/40 18 Toyo T1S and already had rubbing if I lower less than 25.5" measured from ground to fender. I suspect ET30 rims running 225's will rub.

other than 17" vs 18" is there any difference between A4 "celebration" rims and the RS4 replica rims
