I want to know what wheels that Avus car has!

Can't find a side view anywhere...

Macadamia Metallic (unsure what colour this is) with Orange calipers and those wheels mate??? you going for a true custom RS then!

Can't wait to see the finished product

They are LM's on the avus.
this is macadamia metallic.

How much room do you have on the inside on your 19x10 20 offset? Could you measure for me?

Do you mean between the wheel and suspension?

That colour is awesome! Even more excited to see the finish product now!

Thanks! hope it turns out looking good. It's an s4 to rs4 widebody conversion since stateside there are no rs4's

On the measurement I'm not too sure what's at risk for the wheel touching first on the inner portion (suspension arms, suspension coils, fender liner) Also curious what fitting the 10.5 under the front will do to my turning radius...

Nthusiast,i love that colour,but what colour is your car

I tried a set of them porsche wheels last week in 9.5s looked great but they were reps and i could see laquer bubble already,
I would consider genuines,but the ones i want to go with are a 10" rears but need spacing out a little to look good, but they were fitted
with stretched tyres so maybe i need the correct size tyre to check for rubbing.
I'll keep you posted

Ow and N11LS you shouldn't even be looking at wheel posts

Post by **N11LS_J** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 4:28 pm

Nthusiast, I have approx 10mm gap from the inside wheel rim and suspension strut, everythin else is well clear. Only other thing is that I have B7 brakes all round, and the front caliper is about 1-2mm away from spokes of the wheel! Talk about 'close', don't think I can get any closer!

Jimbo, (standing up at wheel whores anonymous meeting) MY NAMES NILS, AND I AM A WHEEL WHORE. who's next?

Jules, Porka wheels eh? nice, keep us posted, and i try so hard not to look at other wheels, but i'm addicted! Start to have withdrawal symptoms if I don't get my daily fix!

Besides, any more wheels and I owe Rtd £100!

Spacecowboy, cheers for that, finally, someone with answers!

10 x 18 ET 0???

I suspect these to be BBS LM129 ET 25 with a 25mm spacer all round then, looks good

That's awesome! How low are you and do you have much camber? Is that just for the rear or the front as well? You are the man!!

btw *Stands up* I am a wheel whore. It has been 30 seconds since my last wheel whore lust.

Not sure how low exactly, can measure for you if required, since fitting the 10 x 19s, i have had to raise the car slightly, now sitting just above the tyres, Bilsteins set on setting 6 all round, no problems with rubbing, catching etc. Camber i'm unsure about mate, haven't really tinkered with it much so should be near enough OEM, i'm having the geometry setup at the end of the month, so will know more then.

Admitting you have a problem is te first step... well done!

Saying that, i'm not sure I want to be 'clean', I love being a wheel whore!
