want to have to roll the fenders if I don't have to.

that pesky floating caliper. New pads and rotors reduce clearance.

18x8.0 (5x112) et35mm
19x9.0 (5x112) et35mm

carlsson evo 1/6

i read in the arch's that they fit. but nobody ever posted what size they test fitted....

i had these on my a4 back in '00 or '01 and they were 18x8.0 (5x112) et40mm and never had a problem... would like to do the same for the S.

since b6 rims are 43mm and have no issues... so 45mm would be more than enough (depending on fitting in the wheel well)
