    Any ideas if these would fit in a B7 ? They're pretty wide but would look phenomenal.



    Or

    9 is too wide.. unless you like the tire sticking way out the side of the car and having fender rub.

    It should! I run 20x9. it really depends on the offset though. You can always add camber I think??? if it sticks out a little. There are several of us here that use 20x9.

    Here's my build thread for pics and reference

    Thanks man. Looks clean. I also use it as my commuter/ family car and don't want to affect ride quality and end up wasting more money on looks. It's a tough decision and I'll keep it in mind.

    Same here, it's my commuter (~100 mi/day) and it's the family car with a new baby. I can say, the ride quality has decreased a little with more road noise, but I much prefer the tighter suspension. Also I would go with a bigger tire to maybe reduce a little of the road noise. Others on here have used bigger tires and have not had any issues either.
