Re: RS4 B9 picture thread
I have Sonamo and black. It looks 10 million times better in the flesh. But you need to either paint the wheels or swap them. The graphite colours clash with green and black.
And then there’s the spacing issue. I have 15mm front and 20mm back which is super aggressive but worth it.
Re: RS4 B9 picture thread
The wheel spacing is a bit odd from factory - maybe there are some regs about wheels/tyres not falling outwith the overall footprint of the bodyshell - I seem to remember hearing that the little plastic fender sticking out from the rear wheel arch on some older models (A3/A5?) was designed to defeat that and allow wider track. That could be nonsense though.AJ13 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 6:44 pmI have Sonamo and black. It looks 10 million times better in the flesh. But you need to either paint the wheels or swap them.

Have you had any issues with rubbing at that spacing? I have the standard 19"s and have 12mm spacers to fit all round, but then I think they have 2mm less offset than the 20"s and so should be no problem.
Re: RS4 B9 picture thread
No rubbing on the back. On the front i removed the little screw and clip that sticks out towards the top of the wheel arch. It’s an additional clip to hold the arch liner in place, but there are 11 other clips and screws so I think it will be fine! And better still, no rubbing.

Re: RS4 B9 picture thread
I have the standard 19's and have fitted 12mm spacers front and 15mm spacers rear, I have also removed the front fender screw. I have had zero rubbing issues with it, even when driven had down country lanes.J88NOG wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 8:27 amThe wheel spacing is a bit odd from factory - maybe there are some regs about wheels/tyres not falling outwith the overall footprint of the bodyshell - I seem to remember hearing that the little plastic fender sticking out from the rear wheel arch on some older models (A3/A5?) was designed to defeat that and allow wider track.

Thanks - good to know. Are you pleased with the stance now? Mine will be going on later in the week.AndyL wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 8:33 pmI have the standard 19's and have fitted 12mm spacers front and 15mm spacers rear, I have also removed the front fender screw.

Re: RS4 B9 picture thread
It is much better than stock, however it could probably do with another 2mm at the front and the rear to make it perfect.J88NOG wrote: ↑Mon Nov 12, 2018 9:13 amThanks - good to know.
