20 inch Rims ???
Hi Has anyone got bigger rims on a RS4 then the original? Also pics would be great ...Thanks
RE: 20 inch Rims ???
There was one for sale with 20" RS4-style rims as seen on some A5s and they looked good. It's strange as I've hadd my car a year now and the 19" wheels now appear too small.
I guess you are having the same thoughts?

Would also like how it affects the ride & handling & interaction (if any) with DRC.Kaiser1976 wrote:Hi Has anyone got bigger rims on a RS4 then the original? Also pics would be great ...Thanks
One frequently hears of how the Cayman S rides much better with the 18", rather than the 19", and the same with the E92 M3.

The guy at the top of my road has 20" A5 wheels ,bigger version of std rs4 wheels on his sprint blue saloon ,it does look good ,it has spacers because the offset makes the wheels sit in ,I'l try and upload a pic later

Not my cup of tea. Blinglischoius Surley it would have an effect on ride and handling?

Yep, the sidewall would be rock hard so the ride wouldn't be good

Personal taste of course. I think the standard 19"'s look better than the 20" featured here, but the 20" wheels from the C6 RS6 did look nice. Someone posted a pic a few months ago.magpie2k wrote:Not my cup of tea. Blinglischoius Surley it would have an effect on ride and handling?

Agreed, its a matter of taste some will like the 20" and some the 19" , now i think the 20" will look nice in titanium style on sprint blue RS4 ....gives me something to think about mmmmhhhhmmm

RE: Re: RE: 20 " porn
whats smallest than can be fitted (over the brakes)? I suspect 18"
I've been toying with the idea of getting some smaller than 19 and shod with winter tyres.

18" if you have regular brakes, but 19" if you have ceramic brakes.parlee-king wrote:whats smallest than can be fitted (over the brakes)? I suspect 18"

VREDESTEIN WINTRAC EXTREME winters
245/40 18 are circa 600/set
255/35 19 are circa 740/set
so not as much difference as I expected and not worth getting another set of wheels

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: 20 " porn
When I bought mine it had just been fitted with a set of these; 20"BBS CHR. Although I also got the original 19" anthracite rs4 alloys I have never had them on the car so I cannot compare 'before and after'. I am quite happy with the way it looks, feels and handles with the 20"s.
