9 and 12, Bogg. No need to go 12.5.

If you ask my wife there's no NEED to replace the stock rims.

I just like wide rubber but perhaps it's best to stick to a known combo like 9 and 12 which seems quite popular. I presume it comes close enough to the wheel well to not look like it needs to be wider, right? And it works with a 20mm drop too?

Therein lies your first mistake. Don't ask the wife

No spacers needed. Suppose you go a bit more aggressive with the offset, but then I'm pretty sure you would rub.

Great choice. Are those 19s or 20s?

These are by far my favorite wheels on the TT.

Wife knew when I bought the car that I was thinking of the HRE rims so when she first saw the car she commented on how nice the stock rims were. Darn, it's gonna be an uphill battle.

Getting the rest of the skirts painted this week and making my lowering decision as well. My tuner keeps advising against springs but he's very particular with making any adjustments that would hurt performance even if I won't be tracking it. He's pushing for PS10. hmmm

PSS10s cost more so of course they will be pushed.
But I can say I have the damptronics and love it.
