    Wheels already have 225/40 tyres but will change them if they won't work.
    May have to lower it a bit. check some of the posts running 8.5et20 and similar

    Thanks fellas, maybe I'll just sell the Miro's and grab your rs's instead hey Dylan?

    I'm running the 18x8.5" et35 Miro Type 111's on my Bora 4mo and it fits under the rearguard with space and pops a bit out from the front.
    Personally if my bora wasn't awd, i'd put a 15mm spacer in the back to push it out to the edge of the guard, but since my fronts stick out without any spacer - I don't want to run a staggered setup like my cars previous owner did and put pressure on the, now, worn out tailshaft couplings.

    staggering offsets wont effect the driveline

    Fitted new shoes

    Hi guys I finally had a chance to fit on my 17s.

    Specs: 17" (Audi S4)
    5x100
    17x7.5 ET32
    Kumho tyres

    I think it fits just a little tall. 10mm drop would be perfect I reckon. What are some good value coilovers? Maybe second hand?

    p.s thank you Dylan and the team for their helpful advice in my wheel searching.

    coils are generally a "pay for what you get"
    I had TA technics for like 70k km, they didnt match say a bilstein, but I couldnt complain at the cost (was like $700 landed about 6 years ago)

    Anyone know where I can find some decent second hand wheels for an mk4 Gti? Or anyone here selling?

    Look good m8, I have exactly the same stats on my wheels,
    I was planning to use some spacers, have you used How does the outer rim sit in relation to the arch (how many mm inside the arch ?)

    also what size of tyre did you end up with? i have noticed that it is difficult to get the stretched look on a 7.5j rim so i was considering these: 195/45/r17 ....

    Hmmm, I was considering some A5 18x8.5 et29 rims but they're 5x112 which means if you're getting poke already without spacers/adapters then these will likely stick out too far as they'll be ~et14 with 15mm adapters.
