Before
After
Thinking about doing
^^that is what the driver wants lol…i think it looks like a HKS BOV lol
It definitely needs the fender rolled about half a inch…i had to use 1/4" spacers because i had to clear the calipers but no rub so thats a plus. abou 3mm of clearance between the caliper and wheels

That looks a lot better :tup: . I was gonna say that you should’ve got rims with more backspacing but then I saw the comment about the calipers, oh well man you gotta do what you gotta do to make em work.

You would’ve known when you were buying the rims. I figured if my wifes 07 Jetta Wolfsburg had them then that Audi A6 would. Lets just say that the TPS made me not want to get rims for her car, you either need to buy new sensors or buy some harness to de-program the dummy light.

or take the sensors out and screw them into the new wheels :bloated:
tire rack has a comprehnsive guide on which wheels work with tpms sensors and its most of them…

no TPMS sensors.
Any vibration btw 60-80 with the spacers? Very common on A6’s.
narrow body A6’s look best with a 18x8.5 et32.

the new wheels look hot, but if the purple is for real, it’s going to be a mistake imo.

Great daily driver. The v8 is very smooth with nice torque.
Coilovers are nice, but I am waiting on the right set of wheels so I can take my snows off.
Not really looking to do much more than wheels, coils, and maybe a new headunit.
