Looking to put 18" wheels on a4
I am looking to put 18" wheels on my 2001 audi a4 1.8t. I am now using stock 15" rims, and I found these 18" wheels on ebay with offset of 32". If someone knows if these wheels should clear my stock brakes please let me know...

I have 18 inch wheels on my 2000 A4 1.8T and they fit just fine.
My wheels have an offset of 32mm + . which means they go under the fender more.
I depends whether your offset is + or - .
To me....it seems like you have the same wheel dimensions as I have on my car, in which case everything should fit.

If your caliper won't clear your 18 inch wheels, you may need to use spacers to allow some clearance. but you have to remember that the spacers will have to come off if you are putting the factory wheels back on.

They should clear stock brakes just fine. Getting rims to clear my B5s4 brakes upgrade on my A4 that's a real PITA!
