I think he meant do you polish the whole exhaust by using a ramp to get under the car!

Had a look into the cost of the tyres if i go for the 10" wide ones on the back then they are pretty much pricing me out of my budget , so if i go for a set that are 8.5j 35et , what would be the best tyre size to go for and spacer size .
does anyone by chance know of which brand of hubcentric spacers to go for as there's lots out there and i dont want to pick up a crap set , cheers Dave

If car is not a weekend / owner meets toy I'd suggest to go for 18' genuine Audi alloys. I personally like this ones:
 And I'd suggest to buy 245/50 R18 tyres. They are taller then stock 245/45 R18. Will fully occupy wheel arch. 20' tyres are expensive if you go for right stuff like Michelin. And it'll be recurring annual expense as hi performance tyres will wear out quickly. Plus, you'll get tired to change suspension as 20' are much rougher ride.

I'd go for either H&R or Eibach hubcentric spacers. They are superb quality and you won't need to buy more wheel bolts as most of them bolt to your hub then you use your normal wheel bolts to bolts the wheels on.
With 8.5" wheels I would go for 20mm spacers per side at the rear and 15mm per side at the front which will space things out nicely linky to hubcentric spacer site

I'm fitting a set of 20" alloys to mine. They were on the car before but they're being refurbed in shadow chrome with stainless bolts. They're 10"x20" at the back with 275/30/20 tyres and 8.5"x 20" at the front with 245/35/20 tyres. The alloys I have are 5x114 so will be using wobble bolts to make them fit.
