Default Second hand info

I exchanged mail with someone who is on the Audiworld registry (A4) but is not an active participant in the forums when I went looking for wheels and tires. He has been running 18x8 wheels, Audi A4 sport suspension and 235/40 tires for a while. He felt the handling was excellent and there was no rubbing (but real close) on his relatively smooth roads. The particular wheels he (now we) run has 35mm offset and are reported to not work on the S4 due to caliper clearance issues.
