Hang on - I'll go look ...From the widest OEM wheels(8.5 ET 36) to the wheels I'm about to order (9.0 ET 35), looks like it will add 5mm inward and add 7mm... I'm wondering if this added 5mm inward will cause problem with strut....
the same OD - as for 8.5 vs 9 and/or spacers - I'd opt for the solution w/o spacers - since you'll have to worry about them sticking, fitting, and the different bolts just for them - unless you can bolt them on (and 5mm is too thin for that), they're a hassle to me. I'd bet your new springs and caps will be MUCH narrower than the OEM units so the clearance issues should disappear...I'm considering this one
I plugged in the tire size and gave me 27.028" of OD.
Do you think I should be okay?
Yup - a good one - Thanks and welcome to the forum !!!Very useful wheel/tire size comparer tool here
I'm hoping that's the case!I'd bet your new springs and caps will be MUCH narrower than the OEM units so the clearance issues should disappear...
Now I'm curious which wheel you're looking at - :laugh:
I'm hoping that's the case!
I'm going for this look with "RS5 rims" from Hartmann.

Hey j_vincent,Have you fitted these yet? I'm looking at the same wheel for our Mythos Q3 and would be very interested in your experiences. TIA.
Looks great! Probably going to buy a set as well.Here's a crappy iphone picture after putting on the wheels. I will have the grill and coilovers installed by Tuesday!
