Nope, they are a little shagged when you look close though - had the wrong size tyres on a set of B7 RS4's a while back and they caught the arch lip a little. Will get it sorted one day and would like to have them rolled but then where do the arch liners fix onto?!!

All ready for ADI tomorrow now anyhow, sadly ran out of time to get some bigger spacers...

I assume you loose the arch liners? I have a roller if you want to be first!

Any pics from ADI? Would like to have seen it in the flesh, shame I missed it.

Love the wheels, but personally prefer minimal if any stretch on the tyres. As for the haters... :<beep>_you: :beerchug:

I love the look of those Sportecs as well.

I wonder if you can perhaps help me out?!

I've had some BBS RS-GT replicas (19inch 8.5j, stud 112, ET 35) on my RS4 which have now apparently corroded beyond repair. Annoyingly, I've got 4 almost new Conti-Sport 3s so want the same size wheel ideally. They're currently on the car with specially made 20mm spacers.

Stupid question but how do I know if the new wheels will fit, or if I'll need new spacers.

And any top rim recommendations? I'd like to keep the price under £750.

Cheers,

Laurence
