Hi guys....just purchased a lovely black B5 rs4 but would like to change its stance slightly
The car is stock at the mo,just ordered a set of 40mm H & R springs ,15mm hubcentric spacers but really stuck on wheel size and design?????
Not sure on 18's or 19's??
Any help deciding would be great!!!! also any pics would be helpful.

many thanks James

Be careful with the 15mm spacers up front. Depending on your lowered height, your tyres may well now rub on the arches...

Would stick with 18s if it were me.

Do a search on SRS as there's a good thread on there somewhere with LOADS of wheels on B5s...

i have the same set up...
H&R springs with A4 Springplate to make it a little more lower at the front and 15mm spacers with standard 18inch wheels...
it rubs the top of the wheel arch when the car bounces...

My 15mm spacers on 19" B7 rims don't rub or catch......and black is good choice

dont forget dave b7 rims are 9mm different offset to the b5 ones so using 15mm spacers will have a different affect

Indeed they are sire...... still don't catch though

His car might be lower though...

With a lowered car, 10mm spacers at the front is probably enough?

Lowering is only a twist away after winter...

10mm would be good enough to clear front, need to be careful on clearing rear suspension.
