Pls help on wheel spec

[minimad]

I am thinking to order HRE or Volk Racing wheels. Both could custom any size for customers. (only for limited models from Volk Racing).

Anyone knows exact spec of Audi 19" 5 spokes wheels. Because I don't want to use any spacers if possible.

The stock 8.5 inch width x 18 inch diameter wheel is a +35mm offset.

When I wemt tp 9x19 Kinesis, I used a +25mm offset. This kept the inside rim face about .125 inches farther from the inside fender than the stock location to insure fender clearance.

By the way, I love the look of the HRE545 wheel. If you haven't already, check out the gallery on this forum for lots of great alternatives.

Keep in mind that if it is HRE/IForged/DPE/CCW or any of those custom made wheel companies. You won't need spacers or have to do any modifications to your vehicle, mainly because those wheels are custom made to fit your vehicle perfectly.

Of course, theonly downside to the custom made vehicles is the time wait.

If you have any other questions let me know. :D

I like HRE 5 series, too. In fact, I think HRE 542R is more ferver to me.
The problem is, the shinny 3 pieces beauty can not handle the road condition well. There are quite a few HRE wheels had leaking problem among friends. Not seriously damaged, but you have to chk tyre pressure quite often to keep fast car safe. I don't mean to blamish the quailty of HRE, I just don't think three pieces design is strong enough to keep up with Taipei's road quality. Have you seen 3 pieces wheels on WRC cars? :hihi:

I probably will consider HRE 8 series wheels or other alternatives.
