Need advice on fitment of B6 oem alloys. Need some too.

Post by saf » Mon Apr 30, 2007 10:33 pm

Im looking to purchase a set of these for my B5 S4.

This is to clear brakes I want to put on the car (B7 RS4 conversion)

IF you know the ET offset please post.

Also if anyone has a set of these wheels for sale, please PM me.

Many thanks

I have the RS4 (B7) brake set up on my S4 B6 and i HAVE to run 10mm wheel spacers to clear.
The off set on the std S4 B6 alloys is 45mm

So with the spacer taken into account - the true offset needed for my wheels would be et35.

But as your car is a B5 your hub dia. might be different.
If you want to try a wheel on your car your welcome to pop over to me and give it a go ?!

Thanks mate.

Where are you from?

I havent got the brake setup on my car yet. I have 17's and need to change everythign at once. Need to make sure the wheels will clear.

Are you sure that the ET is 45? I thought it was 42 or 43.

IF you have a spare will, will you mind checking what it says on the inside. It should have an ET written on the inside on one of the spokes.

With a 10mm spacer, ho wmuch cleareance do you have? are you running 235 or 225 tyres.

Many thanks

Kind regards.

I'm in Lincoln.

I'll check tomorrow to confirm but i'm 99% sure that they're 45mm off set.
I only had the wheels off the other day, but i'll happily check the spare tomorrow for ya :)

Clearence - inner spoke to caliper = aprox 5mm
- inner tyre to top arm = 15-20mm (very aprox)

I'm running 235-40-18 Michelin Pilot Sport 2's


Any thing i can do to help then please feel free :)

Thats great news incase I do buy the OEm and cant get the reps.

Have you got a icture to show how much the wheel sticks out if anything? As in from looking straight down the car?

Id be greateful if you dont have some pics, if you can take some if you have a digital camera.

Id be really grateful. The info youve given me so far is extremely useful.

Thanks

The guy that I use to refurbish wheels for us has a freshly refurbished set of 8x18 Avus wheels. You would need to check with him that they are B6 Avus and not the earlier version (I think they are the new ones but don't hold me to it).
He is asking £600, hope that helps?
