Default 18" whells w/ 45mm offset?

I found some wheels I really like but they have a 45mm offset, what spacers will I need? I can't get the spacer calculator posted on this forum to work, maybe 'cause I have a Mac ?

Default Exactly what I got! See the pic...thats with 25mm back 20mm front.

All in all, I'm happy with the look. If you have a choice in tires, go for 235's. I have 225s and they are ahem...thin

Default Nice !!!!! Sweet lookin ride

Did you use " hub centric " spacers ? and where did you get your spacers ? Also, did you install lugs or use longer bolts?

Default Thanks :) Used FK hub centric spacers which bolt onto the hub with supplied bolts

Thats one of the reason I went with FK, they are one of the few that sell 20mm spacer in bolt on type. The wheels I have are not hub centric for Audi, so I had to get the hub rings. So, spacers bolt on to the hub, rings (plastic) go onto the spacer lip, rims mount over the spacer/ring and bolt directly to the spacer with tuner bolts.

Things I didn't know before I started is that I will need the tuner bolts for the rims (since the OEM don't work properly for aftermarket wheels) and that I would need the hubcentric rings, since the wheel hub diameter is different from the audi/spacer.
