(more) Should I be concerned with width of a replica (typically 8") vs. OEM (8.5")? __________________ 03 4.2 Brilliant Black Sport/Prem/Cold 35% Tint All Around/M5 Lip Spoiler/Hella Smoked Tails/tinted side markers/OEM RS6 18" 9-spokes w/255/35/18 P-zeros/PIAA SuperWhite Fogs/Sport sig/Magnaflow ss 6" round w/2.25" in/out and 4" chrome tips/GIAC Tip Chip/Tip and Door lock re-codes/RS 6 CF Trim/Shift knob/Side mirrors/upper grill/headlight trim/Eibach springs/Bilstein shocks/H-sports.
