Arthur - are your 4mm ones hubcentric or just flat?

What do the 275's look like, one thing that bug's me is the stretched tyre look that the 255's give.

question about the 8mm spacers, are they hub centric? do they have a lip sticking out to go inside the wheel like the 10s i was told they dont. my wheel doesnt fit on the hub with 6mm spacers, its like it needs a spigott rings.

make sure they have 7x45 marked on them, that is the Audi wheel bevel depth (7mm) and angle (45 degree)
