B6 S4 with 18" RS4 Rims

Post by ShaneyB » Mon Oct 27, 2008 3:37 pm

Hi all,
About to put some RS4 replica's for my B6 S4 saloon. Anyone have any pics and advice?
I don't want to go for 19" but I also don't want the 18's to look naff and not fill the arch. I have standard 18" Avus on now so I realise they won't look any bigger but I've not seen a standard S4 with 18" RS4's on.

The standard 18" B6 S4 wheel has a higher offset than some of the replica 18" wheels.

If your replacment wheels have a et of 35mm you will move the wheel out by 10mm over OEM B6 S4 wheels.

A 15mm spacer kit on the original wheels is a popular mod.

Had them fitted now and they look really small.
I suppose I need to lower it now. H&R it is.....
