While taking pictures could you get some of the lug nut situation you were talking about on page 1? Also I would like to know if you are running oem style wheel studs or perhaps the ARPs with the lead in shape.
Thank you!

do you have this same offset? I currently have the regular length ARP studs on the front and the oem style on the back (or whatever length came pre-installed on the hubs when I bought them from doorman)
My thoughts are that I would probably be OK with the regular length ARP studs all around with these +55.
OE style regular length Vs ARP regular length:
Seems like there might be 1 or 2 more threads on the ARP.

What pics are you requesting in addition to what has already been posted?

^Different camber settings and alignment pieces may account for small differences.
King Tut, Ive heard Hoosiers dont use much camber. That may make fender clearance slightly harder for you. But Im not sure what camber is typical, nor how wide a A7 245 is compared to other makes. Should still be very doable with a little work on OEM fenders regardless.

For optimum performance the Hoosier P-Metric radial tires require about 3 degrees of negative camber. There will be a trade off in maximum performance to maximize
wear. Generally, 1/2 degrees less than optimum will result in the best compromise for wear and speed. Less than 2.5 degrees negative can result in excessive wear
on the outer shoulder junction. Higher pressures are needed when the vehicle has limited negative camber.

Any pictures of wheels in different colors? Bronze?
Also, someone mentioned that +55s arent really +55s ... so what are they closer to? +50? +52?
I am leaning towards +50 but if the offset isnt really that offset then I want to make sure to up the offset to +52 or +55. Can someone confirm my understanding?

I have a stock height AP1 and want to go wide as possible but still be staggered. So I am thinking 17x9 up front and 17x10 in the rear. What offset should I look into? Also may do a bbk in the future.
