NEW WHEELS

I'm currently thinking of getting some new shoes for the car, I quite fancy some of the new S8/S3 wheels in 18", maybe redone in anthracite or black, not sure.

But they come in ET45, would this fit the car OK. Had a quick scan through some previous posts and ET30-35 seems to be commonly mentioned. Any ideas.

Ultimately I'd love to put on a set of 19" MTM bimotos, but these are a bit out of budget just at the minute.....

Cheers

Oh and another question, what side wall depth for the tyres would I run on 18s

Cheers

Hi tyres for 18s are 255/35 18 if you go for 255/40 they dont fit in the spare wheel well. 255/35 are the same diameter as the original size.
