Offset question when changing wheels, STFA no definite answer
If the Audi B6 uses ET43 as OEM offset (I'm using the Ultra sport 18" 235/40 wheels) and I'm thinking of switching to BBS CH wheels which has an offset of ET35.
1. What does this do to the handling characteristic of the car?
2. Any alignment/camber issues (no drop in suspension, just a wheel change)?
3. Ideally, should there be an adjustment when changing the offset?
TIA.

Leonpro,
Besides giving the car a better look, it will improve your handeling because the tires are pushed out a bit more. There will be no alignment/camber issues because no suspension parts are being affected by the offset change which means that no adjustments need to be done. I hope this helps.
