I was toying with the idea of getting a set of these for my RS4, would they fit ok? Would my existing tyres swap over or are they a different size?
If anyone has done this to their RS4 I'd love to see some pics

RS 6 are 20" vs. your 19" ... so no, your tyres wont fit
you will also need spacers
other than that, they fit perfect and are awesome!

Why not get S5 wheels ? They are 19, 9J so same tyre profile/stretch, and if you get ET33 is only 4mm of offset to correct and I think the centre bores are the same size too.
These are black but gives you a good idea of how they look

Hmm, I have seen them advertised as OEM 19's, the seller must be telling porkies
A straight swap I could do, but I don't want to be faffing round.
Cheers

I am getting mixed messages regarding these wheels
A set of gen RS6 wheels are 20", I have seen a few RS4's with these on here, so I'm presuming straight swap?

straight swap apart from the et are different so you will defo need spacers 12mm for the back and 10mm for the front thats what i have.
as for tyres most people put 255/30/20 on with a bit of a stretch, i have just sourced some michelin 265/30/20 for mine which i hope will be ok i will roll the front arch slightly if i get any rubbing.
i bought mine from D K on here but have never fitted them yet, i have just painted them in matt titan and they will be going on soon along with with some other bits and bobs.

also you get the oem rs6 wheel in 9.5j and a 9j winter wheel option but both are 20" and would take the same size tyres.

Hmmm, I'm liking the A5 turbine wheels better just a pity they are 8.5Jx19. It seems ze Germans get a better selection of wheels than we do, how's that work?
