Can you got 19"Rims to the B8

Post by FatDumbHappy » Mon Jul 27, 2020 10:08 pm

Hi All,

I'm very new to this, so I apologize if this question has been breached before, and thank you for your help in advance.
I have a 2014 RS4 B8, which I love (dream car). I'm moving to a country where the roads are slightly worse and am taking the car with.
I'm thinking of changing FROM the 20" rims running 265/30 TO 19" 255/40.
I'm needing the slightly extra profile on the tyre. I know the 20" look the business, so it's a shame to have to try look for 19"rims.

I'd really appreciate if anyone give me some advice on IF 19" rims can fit, and if so which ones?

Kind regards
FDH

Yes, there is no problem fitting 19" alloys to a B8 - the standard alloy fitment was a 19" rim, but with the Sport pack, the 19" were replaced with Titanium 20" rotors, or V spokes could also be specified. Not many people opted for the 19"s as they looked pretty crap in the wheelarch (imho). From what I understand, owners only tended to have a set of the 19" rims for use with winter tyres as the profile was greater and therefore they had more flex in the tyre wall for winter use.

The 19" part number I believe is 8T0601025 AG

Great, thank you so much, that's great help.
I do agree with you about the look of 20" vs 19", but unfortunately I need the extra flex like the winter tires.
Thank you
