Default Will my 18"x8.5" IWC Quicksilvers fit flush with the A4 body? Will I have to roll the fender?

RPI told me that the 18"x8.5" will fit flush. But some other people told me that the 8.5" width will stick out. I don't know what to believe. I certantly don't want the look of the tires pouring out of the car like those ghetto mobiles that you see in the bad neighborhoods, if you get me drift. What I want is when I look directly at the front I don't want to be able the tires to be showing out the sides, hence the flushness. There is no off set though, they are flat rims. Please let me know. Thanks. I also must say that AudiWorld is the best site ever and it is so because of you guys that respond so quickly so once again THANKS!

Default What do you mean there's no offset?

It's probably a 35

Default they are pretty much flush (URL to some photos)

as i recall, the back wheels fit just about flush with the edge of the wheelwell. the fronts stick out a little, but it's certainly nothing ghettoish. i've got some pictures of them scattered about at the link below.<ul><li><a href="http://truffula.com/~meem/s4/">iwc quicksilvers on nogaro s4</a></li></ul>

What i mean is that there is no pos or neg offset. The rims are flat five spokes.
