hey guys,

i was wondering, if i was to put 18" rims on a 2000 A4...would i need to lower it?
or would it look jacked up if it wasnt?

Yup you def need a pair of springs or its going to look to jacked up in my opinion. BTW what wheels are you getting?

cheers!!!

ya you will be ready to go offroading if you dont lower it.

Unless, you have the ultrasport suspension already.

ROFL OFFROADING , but yeah dude you should lower it if you dont want to ruin the luxury ride get some sport springs dont get race springs.

I hate lower. My car bought with aftermarket lowering and rear big spoiler. ground clearance is only about 12cm. it drive like a honda not audi. and my bumper cover lip and belly cover are already gone because car was too low. every since it get in the undergrand garage, it'll scratch the bumper once more. I bought a quattro for safe drive in snow, but it's can hardly do, because if the snow/ice bank was too deep, it'll ruin the underbody of the car, oil pan already been fixed twice, don't know what's next.

And how come you think 18"rim will jack the car up? get thinner tire, make it as closer as possible diameter as factory.

sonic

no it wont jack the car up but it will definitly give you the apperance that it is.
