35mm or 45mm offset? (New to forum)
Hello, I am looking at purchasing Andros R9 wheels for my 2013 A4. The current OEM wheels are 18x8 with a 47mm offset, but I feel that they are a little too far in (towards center of the car) for my liking. I would like my new rims to fill the wheel well nicely, but not stock too far out to the point where it looks stupid. The choices for the R9 are 35mm or 45mm offset with same 18x8 dimensions. Would 35mm be significantly further out than stock? Would 45mm even be noticeable? I realize that it’s pushing it 2mm vs 12mm out, but I’m just looking for some input from others. If anyone has pictures of an example of one or the other that would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

There are 25mm in an inch, so a 10mm "shift" out away from the frame (ET35) is not really noticeable. Unless you are planning on lowering the car more than 2", ET35 is fine and addresses your concern slightly
