RS4 B5 wheels

Post by touring » Tue Sep 18, 2012 2:57 pm

I'm considering buying a full size spare wheel for my RS4 (B5), can anyone advise me of the correct offset, rim width and PCD. Oh and if anyone has a genuine RS4 B5 wheel gathering dust that they would be happy to sell, drop me a PM. Thanks

18 x 8.5"
5 x 112
ET20

It won't fit in the wheel well so assume it's just to keep in the garage :thumb:

The RS4 wheel will fit in the well, but it will raise the carpet slightly.

Thanks for your replies. I was hoping to fit a spare wheel in to the well rather than keeping it in the garage. My previous S4 B6 Avant had a full size spare, which IIRC was 8" wide with a 225/40 tyre. Do you know whether the RS4 well can accomodate one of these or is an 18" space saver a better option?

Sorry not sure on that, but I'm sure it would seeing as though the RS4 wheel fits and thats a larger wheel then the one you've quoted. To fit the RS4 wheel (if IRC) you do have to remove the plastic wheel well housing. Oh why have I not already done this to my car :oops: You know I'm goona get myself in the :dung: :D

i have a spare full size wheel and tyre for sale for £100 delivered. it will fit in the well you may need to modify the plastic trim at the back of the well that the carpet folds down onto and as ha been said the carpet will be slightly raised, it can also help if you store the wheel with the tyre deflated and carry the electric air compressor .

You can fit one with no mods at all although this tyre had around 4mm of tread left, a new one would be tight and may need deflating as as stated above.
