A8s and coilovers = mess?

[dylan8]

Can anyone with Tempe Audi A8 reps confirm the offset?
Just looking at mine and they are a fair bit dirty but they look like ET45?

If so i fear my coil overs arn't going to fit
can anyone please confirm the lowest offset with coilovers and 8" wide wheels possible?

Thanks in advance.

hey dyl well my schmits were 8 wide and the offset is et 30
im sure you can get lower

easily under 35. if anything your offset will mean the wheels will be closer to touching the strut than the guard. they're probably 35 offset anyway.

yeah they are already so close to my stock struts, worried that the height adjustable nut will be right in line with the tyres and hit them, the current strut cup sits just above the wheel so is fine.

If the offset is 35 i should be fine after looking at intensem1's mk4, fingers crossed for 35! thanks guys.

if they fit with stock suspension they'll fit with the coilovers

Wheels look like 45ET from further study of another wheel.
So you don't think the height adjustable bit will come down near the tyre?

Thanks again

Where was your height adjusting nut in relation to your tyres? above, inline with or below?
