Default PROBLEMS with buying 17inch rims

Ok ive tried edge racing and wheelfire ...first ... edge racing didnt have the ones i wanted in stock ...

wheelfire told me that i needed some spacers and that it would be hard for me to find 17" rims w/ out buying some 10 mm spacers. wth?
so is audi tt not meant to buy wheels for? how can i get wheels where it wouldnt require getting any spacers

most wheels come in just about the same offset as the TT. Just google the wheels and see who else sells them.

when i went to my favs the link didnt work any more, but it does now, thanks.

15mm would be fine all around. the rears would be flush and the fronts will be just in which is good so your fender doent hit the tire.

thanks man.
Now im trying to make the decision if i should get the ELM Turbo and install it with my 3" DP, and Custom 3" APR exhaust

or

Get the new wheels and tires+spacers

I have perfect tread left on my wheels now, so i would feel like its kind of a waste to get more rims and tires when i don't need them right away.

or

I can just save my money and install everything i mentioned plus my tuboxs dual boost controler

just get the wheels in 8" front and rear and transfer the tires and get the boost controler. If you want a bigger turbo, save up another $500 and get a real turbo upgrade and just sell the 3" dp. It will be well worth it.
