R8 wheels on b8 rs4
Re: R8 wheels on b8 rs4
Hi,
Can't find data on the OEM R8 20" but I would assume that it has similar width dimensions & offset to the 19" so will use that to give feedback; someone else might chime in if I'm way off the mark.
It seems that the OEM R8 alloys are 19 x 8.5 ET42 front and 19 x 11 ET50 rear; standard B8 RS4 are 19 x 9 ET24.
Due to Quattro drive on RS4; should use same size alloy/tyre on front & rear axles:
You could use the 19 x 8.5 ET42 on front & rear axle with 18mm* spacer to achieve ET24 but existing 265/35 r19 tyre wouldn't work safely as the rim is too narrow. This wheel will also have quite a flat face with little to no concavity.
The 19 x 11 ET50 might work on rear axle (though probably not) with appropriate spacer size but I cannot envisage how it would work on the front axle without serious poke/rubbing issues. Again, existing 265/35 r19 tyre wouldn't work safely as the rim is too wide. On the flip side, this wheel should have reasonable concavity
Hope this helps
