Finally fitted B7 alloys on the B5

Post by jds67 » Mon May 25, 2009 7:41 pm

Been toying with changing the alloys on my B5 for a while and finally gone for B7's with 15mm spacers. Tried it out today without any rubbing issues and the speedo is now closer to the GPS than was originally and i'm running 255/35X19's. See pics below.

Hi Dace
Not sure if you know but i had all black interior,
i sold that to a guy in holland.
I'm having all the interior changed to audi silver nappa,
It was far to easy just to have the fronts done in black :lol:
Also i've not seen another in england with silver nappa poles.
I'm having the front and rear seats all with the rs4 embossed logo
,door cards,gear gaitor and something different done to the
steering wheel,fingers crossed it will look good.
Ow and my little girls baby seat done in black leather to match
the golfs trim but with silver stitching and her surname in the same stitching as my interior,
sad i know.
It may take a couple of weeks and i'm soon to be away
so i'm not sure when i will get it back to post the pics.
Its been left with a very good trimmer so i can't wait to
see the results 8)

Looks great with the rims!

What suspension do you use? Looks lower than stock?

Here is mine on my B7 set with 20 mm spacers and 235/35/19 tyres.
