Default Perfect is somewhat in the eye of the beholder - calculate for yourself

with the link below. I believe most folks would find something in the 35 - 38ET offset about right.<ul><li><a href="http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html">http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html</a</li></ul>

Default Thanks, but I guess my real question is would 17X8 ET48 fit the A4/S4...

by my calculation, compare to a stock S4 wheel (17X7.5, ET 45) a 17X8 ET 48 would stick out 3mm and in 10mm (possible problem)

Don't know how much room there is on the inside, but I think 10MM would push it.
