Which rims

[A20LEE]

Will the CSL wheels clear your calipers?

the replica's are ET27 so i've got 7mm there to play with, our friends in europe have fitted 10x19 on the front so thats another 12mm so adaptors may just tuck them under the arches and clear the brakes. I've spoken to a wheel supplier who will supply 4x 9.5x19 but no returns if i can't make them work. So i'm going to have to see if i can order 1 wheel and see whats, what!

[jimbo1234567]

the 9.5 x19s ive got just clear the suspension arms on the back and fill the arches perfectly. 10s would come out past the arches. with the 9.5s you will be able to play around with the offset a little. a must if you want to lower the car.

Depends on the offset.

[jimbo1234567]

thats what i meant virdee. lee needs to be getting a wheel with a t least a 30,mm offset because hubcentric spacers are minimum 10mm thick. theres no point getting a 25mm offset rim then deciding on a 5mm spacer because it wont be hubcentric. doug is running different size spacers front and rear on his rs4 to accomodate the 20inch s8 wheels on his lowered car ,

[jimbo1234567]

in a perfect world i would have chosen an et 26 wheel for the front and an et 23 for the back. this would work well with the 275 tyres with no rubbing and keeping the wheels just within the arches instead of being flush

Defo CSL's, will look great if you can make them fit.
Bentleys are going to be on everything this year

[jimbo1234567]

not a fan of the bentleys im afraid

Not sure if I am missing something here but BMW wheels have a PCD of 5 x 120 and Audi/Bently 5 x 112 although I am sure you can get adaptors to do BMW. If you can get adaptors thyey will be approx 20mm wide so will adjust off set but minus 20mm. The desired off set on a B5 RS4 is about ET20 so you just need to bear that in mind when ordering the CSL reps assuming they dont make BMW reps to fit Audi.

[Jules]

Exactly,they do csl copies to fit audi's

[Jhcolling]

But....do the reps have the same concaveness that the oem one have?

I know its not a word!

[Jules]

Good word jhcooling

I would assume so ?
