RS4 alloys on a B6

As in title. I have a set of 18" ABT SP0 alloys currently on the car - 1 which requires welding which I am a little reluctant to have done.
With having the Brembo GT kit fitted I need a replacement set of alloys that will clear the calipers. Will an original set of 19" x 9 RS4 alloys fit onto the B6 S4?

Any help appreciated

I think the RS4s are a relativly low offset and 9 inches wide, so they would stick out from
the arch a fair bit. VMR do a replica that is spot on, with the proper dished look, which no other reps have

That looks good, they sit perfectly in the arch!

I agree. Nice stance. Are these fitted with the standard suspension set up? I have a set of H & R lowering springs which I removed as the ride was unbearable. Car looked awesome but i just couldn't live with it so went with the OEM springs.

A nice A4/S4 with 19x9's - no arch rub either

(thanks for the replies...)

Ah! I was looking at an original set of 19x9's.

Back to the drawing board. A set of 19" ABT SP0's (like mine) are currently on ebay. Cannot justify £1550 for them though.

Getting conflicting attitudes regarding 19x9 fitment from different forums (looking at what others have fitted.)

My main concern is clearance over the Brembo's.

...so much choice...only 4 corners to fit them to! :thumbs:

I've just bought some 19x9 ET41 wheels and got conflicting views on if they will go on, mainly all from
people repeating what they'd heard really. One guy did say he had the same fitment though and they go on, just!

Just clears the struts and sits flush with the arch apparently, which the online wheel offset calculator seems to confirm.
