spacers
im ordering my spacers tomorrow. im doing the install on my eibach coilovers. im trying to order my spacers based upon my wheel width (stock 18s) they are the flat 7 spokes. if my wheels are stock width, are they 8s or 8.5s? they guy i spoke to at ecs said that i should get 10s in the front and 17mm in the rear. i want this to be a sleeper for right now. so the questions are: what is the width of a stock 18" audi wheel
&: would 10mm and 17mm put me close to my fender wells (flush is my goal)
please dont refer me to the offset calculator. for some reason i cant get it on my phone

RE: spacers
i tried using a magnet and a string with a weight on it hanging from the fender. i measured that gap. my numbers were in consistant from side to side. and, what is the width of the stock wheel?

RE: spacers
Dunno about the stock 18s, but stock 17's are actually 7, or 7.5" width (can't remember exactly). Wheel offset is more important. My Fliks are a ET 35 (again, don't know stock). Bought my spacers accordingly, and with a 12mm front and 20mm rear they sat 1mm inside the fender up front, and 1mm outside rear. I'd say you're pretty close with 10 and 17.
