lol, I probably lost about 15% of my turning radius. IMO though, as a car enthusiast, lateral grip is more important to me than turning radius :lol:

Re: RE: A couple of my s4 -> rs4 conversion progress

Surprised the wheels actually fit ?! What offset are you running? And what brakes ? these: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/c61lude/IMG_4218.jpg I seem to have forgotten the offset :P It took so long to figure out which offset to run. I couldn't measure because I didn't have the appropriate t...

A couple of my s4 -> rs4 conversion progress

I was active on here a long while ago searching for wheel sizes but I finally chose a size after a lot of research.. Had to wait 4 months for Adv.1 to cad and build the wheels. I got a few shots finally of how the fitment will look minus about 2 deg of camber and a little fender rolling/pulling igno...

True but ceramic rotors are fragile. If they begin to flake they require replacement. Flying rocks, handling or installing them inappropriatly could destroy them.

I have a whole bunch more pictures of this car if anyone wants them. I think from reading it with the spacers it equates to a 19x11 20mm offset and 15mm offset. I'm guessing the front is 20 and the rear is 15 just by looking at the difference in poke. I'm thinking now that 19x10.5 20mm offset might ...

Sweet, as I understand it changing the offset and width won't change the caliper clearance on the set of wheels I'm getting. I'm going to be pretty close though too I would imagine with 14.5" rotors and 6 piston calipers..

Not sure how low exactly, can measure for you if required, since fitting the 10 x 19s, i have had to raise the car slightly, now sitting just above the tyres, Bilsteins set on setting 6 all round, no problems with rubbing, catching etc. Camber i'm unsure about mate, haven't really tinkered with it ...

Nthusiast, I have approx 10mm gap from the inside wheel rim and suspension strut, everythin else is well clear. Only other thing is that I have B7 brakes all round, and the front caliper is about 1-2mm away from spokes of the wheel! Talk about 'close', don't think I can get any closer! That's aweso...

Do you mean between the wheel and suspension? That colour is awesome! Even more excited to see the finish product now! Thanks! hope it turns out looking good. It's an s4 to rs4 widebody conversion since stateside there are no rs4's :( On the measurement I'm not too sure what's at risk for the wheel...

Woah, that is a nice wheel, what colour is your B5? So, what spec have you decided to go for? Thanks! So far it's 19x10.5 front and rear +17 flat black face polished lip. Still in the paint booth but it's comming out as macadamia metallic. Calipers and rotor hats from alcon 6 piston fronts 14.5" an...
