Will these fit on a S4 with RS4 suspension?

They look very nice if i might say so!

Steve.

Come on Folks

Also will i get wider wheels at the back on 19" rims, the RS4 replicas look nice too, someone said these now come in 19"

Anybody?

Without spacers you can fit a 235/40 tyre on front and back, this will just clear the rear suspension arm, so if you calculate the width of the extra tyre and figure the same offset then your answer lies there.

The RS4 suspension will not change the availability of S4 wheels.

You can go 19" with RS4 replicas (but NOT originals) and RS6 replicas etc.

I would not put a wider tyre on the S4 as the grip levels are high anyway, and more grip will make breakaway more sudden and remove any chassis adjustability that is intrinsically there.

Thanks David.

So are you saying that 19" OZ superleggeras will fit?

...no!

I'm saying that you can go wider on a stock wheel and therefore you should be able to fit an aftermarket wheel with a wider rim or tyre.

However, you should check the offset and do the maths (or get the supplier to do it!) to be sure of a fitment without nasty surprises.

If you spaced the wheel out slightly, the suspension issue is less of a problem, but the arches might be under extreme compression (or if you fit lower springs)

I would seek advice from the supplier of the new wheels and try as much as possible to keep the same width and rolling radius...

Okay thanks David,

I'll seek advice at the local accessory shop.

Steve.
