18's on a quattro

does the quattro sit lower than a std A4 B5? I've been offered some 18's but really dont want to have to lower my car to prevent it looking like a 4x4

also what offset should I be looking for? I thoguht I'd read 30 - 35mm but the wheels Ive been offered are ET45, will this pose any problems?

If you have red shocks then you have sport suspension which is 20mm lower than none sport suspension.

ET35 should be the correct offset but ET45 may need spacers to fit.

The 45's will fit on to a 2wd no problems, not sure about the quattro
