springs (lowered 1.1 inches) and with bilstein shocks, correct?

They are listed as having an offset of 25;40 (what's that mean exactly anyway)... will this still need spacers? If so, what size?

(sorry, I know there have been a thousand posts on wheel offsets and things, but the search thing is messed up and I'm not about to search through a million lines of text to find the answer).

I think I've found the rims I've always wanted, and my guess is I'm the only person in the US who'll have 'em, and 99.999% sure I'll be the only person with a TT who has 'em. =)

19 inch Nuvolari concept wheels!
that's right... NINTEEN INCH! =)

Default I have no idea what 25;40 Offset means... 25 front, 40 rear?

I believe if the offset is in the range of ET20 and ET35 (which they probably are if they were made for Audi's), you should be fine without spacers (though with any wheel you'll probably want spacers anyways to push the wheels flush w/ the fenders)

I bet they're not either 25 or 40... maybe you should ask where you bought them from...
