But if the idea is to use wider back tires spacers don't do anything but change the look of the tires front to rear. Not the way to do it....

Sorry for the confusion, and I couldn't pull the offset info from tirerack, just the 9.5 width all around.

Still deciding between the LMs and the Work Wheels, though leaning towards the LMs since there is no turnaround/delays involved.

Thanks for all the help!

Yeah, he asked for different offsets, not different wheel widths.

alex@wheelexperts is infamous around these parts

go to BBS-USA.com and on their application guide its 8.5 and 9.5.

The difference that the widths make as far as the differencial goes is so minimal that it doesn't make a difference and will not damage anything. I have spoken to several chief audi techs and have goyten the same response from all of them.

Many will disagree but I have put 8 different sets of wheels on my b7 some staggered width and some not and I have not had and problems!!!

I also have my 20" modulare m7s for sale also
