Im wanting to relace my audi wheels with 18'' which offset do i go for?
my current wheels are 7.5 j x 17'' ET 56

Most of the new wheels i se are 8x18'' ET 35
I dont want the wheels to catch/rub and i know the s-line a3 comes with 18's on and there ET54 (if this helps) But i cant seem to find any that are 54/56 offset 18's http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/eek.gif

Those 18s from the A3 will probably rub.

You need 18s from the 98-04 A4/A6 range. They'll fit perfectly.
