RS4 Wheels on S4

[DavidT]

Can anyone confirm that the 8 x 18 RS4 wheels fit the S4 ?

And some pics if possible

Seems like a good upgrade - 255 tyres [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks David

[zeke]

I don't think they will fit, because they are 18x8.5 [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Thanks Zeke, I was told they were 8 x 18 but you are quite right, they are 8.5 x 18.

Are the standard S4 rims 7.5 or 8 then ?

David,

Yes they fit. As long as they are the 5x112 size with 35 offset.
Joshie has them on his S4 Avant.

Thanks Paul, thought I was going mad [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

I'll have a word with him to check.

In the U.S. many are purchasing great looking RS4 replica Wheels. The are well-made and strong, unlike the original RS4 wheels. They are also 8.0 X 18 instead of 8.5 X 18. Josh @ www.achtuning.com can help you out. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

we can buy the replicas over here

And as you say they are 8" not 8.5

They cost around £1100 including tyres I think - check AmD's web site

Right then, I have an answer on this. My thanks to Andiroo and Scott at AmD for being so helpful.

NO they do not fit.

RS4 8.5 x 18 wheels running 255/35 18 tyres are too wide for an S4, they seem OK on the inside, but the wheels stick out of the wheel arches by over an inch ! (this I think is why the RS4 has wider arches, obvious now doh)

Standard S4 wheels are 7.5 x 17 running 225/45 17 tyres.

AmD do 8 x 18 RS4 replica wheels which take 225 x 40 18 tyres so this will be my upgrade path. Joshie has these on his S4 avant.

If they have the same width tyres the only advantage will be looks [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] surely.....

You could always have RS4 wings put on [img]images/graemlins/icon_lol.gif[/img]

[img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] That's a shame mate [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] all that travelling to find out they don't fit [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well at least we now know [img]images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Good luck David

The RS4 has 20 offsett. What is the offsett on the S4?

[DavidT]

Thanks to JR as well for the hospitality.

RS4 panels, now that would be interesting. I bought the S4 because it was understated fast, but I'm not worried about that now as I don't do many miles in it. I may just look into that.

I think the S4 has 35 offset wheels, not sure though.

You might have a problem with the rear wings on a Saloon [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Have you thought about Porsche wheels instead (like the RS2 had fitted) ?

The standard S4 avus wheels are 7.5 x 17 ET45 5/112

These are the wheels we sell. They are only $995USD for a set of four including OEM center caps.
