Hi guys, I've just joined this forum as I recently bought myself a B5 rs4!!

Basically I'd like to change the wheels on it, and I've come across a set of BBS locally which are in perfect nick!!

They are 19 x 8.5 with an offset of +50
Now i know the standard wheels are 18 x 8.5 with a +20 offset, so can these wheels be made to fit with spacers or what???

Cheers in advance!!

Welcomed to the forum What's the spec?

ET50 is way too big an ET IMO....

As mentioned the et is to high,you would need atleast a 30mm spacer
And that still wouldn't be enough in my eyes

Cheers Bud, Its a '01 Noggy Blue,
I've tried attaching images but couldnt!

Yeah, I figured the offset was waaaaaaaaaay wrong but a set of 30mm spacers would bring it back +20 yeah????

This will give you an idea of fitment.....

I know several people that run big spacers but IMO I would prefer to run no bigger than a 15mm spacer..........

Any particular reason why you wouldnt run any bigger than 15mm???

I don't like using spacers (especially large ET ones) if your likely to drive the car as intended
