Question on ET measurement on A6-C6

kitora · 03-08-2005, 09:36 AM

I just found out these Nuvolari rims only comes in 8x18" ET35.

The standard 18" wheels for the C6 is 8x18" ET48. This means the Nuvolari wheels will stick out 13 mm (½") more than the standard wheels. Does anyone know if this will cause any rubbing on the fenders?

My car is lowered 40 mm, so it might become an issue for me.

Can someone with the 18" wheels on check whether there's room for another 13 mm on the outside of the wheel?

I had 17x8 ET35 on a lowered S4 Avant (MTM/Eibach springs) with no rubbing. Clearance should be about the same as the A6.

Thanks,
