Eh I thought they wouldn't fit, the offset is wrong and wouldn't spacers make them stick out even more?!?!

I seem to recall they won't fit, which is why there's a market for the RS4 replicas (I have some).

Offset? No idea. They were fitted when I bought the car.
I can take some photos tomorrow if you like.

Hi.
Definitely will not fit. Researched this loads on this site and others before I bought some new wheels. Rs4 offset is totally different and can't really be fixed with spacers as the wheels will stick out beyond the arches. You will need to go for some replicas.
I eventually went for some 19x18.5 MTMS. Pct is 112 and et is 35.
Hope this helps.

I've no idea about brands. If you don't get a reply here, try
Audi-Sport.net.
My wheels are a kind of gunmetal grey but they shimmer real nice when they're clean. The car is Goodwood Green (aka British Racing Green). It's not metallic so it has a kind of deep, matt-like tone. I believe it's rarer than Noggy.

I would buy the WSP Italy replica wheels, you can get them from performancealloys.com. I bought a set of 18" Avus III wheels from them and really pleased with them, only issue I would point out is the paint is quite hard and brittle but other than that they have been fine.
Also bought the ET35 offset so the arches are filled.

I had some ABT alloys on the S4 when purchased. These had an offset of ET30 (the car has the Brembo big brake kit added)
After a long winter with many, many potholes and the alloys cracking I bit the bullet and bought these:
Size: 19x8.5 with an offset of ET32. I also added 5 mm spacers to the rear to sit them nicely in the arches.
I sold the car not long after - and still miss it!

Hey guys. First post here and hopefully I can be of some help. A lot of misinformation in this thread...
I have had B7 RS4 wheels on both my B6 S4 and now my B7 S4. As you know they are 19x9 et 29. They have fit quite well as long as you run a slightly narrow tire. 235/35/19 to be exact. I know many people have ran this setup with little to no rubbing. I rub in the rear when I hit massive bumps but that's about it. If you're planning on going any lower than I am you may want to consider 225/35/91's, at least in the front, as that's where you'll run into problems.
Here's a few pics of them on my B6 and my b7 (current):
