Nice conversion. Get tips and please lose the RS4 badge

**vdubjetta02** · 02-23-2011 05:41 AM

are those OEM RS4 wheels? if so i think you need more tire to fill the fenders..... are you going to have any power mods to back up the looks? atleast a k04 set up?

Hi mate yes they are genuine rs4 wheels they do look small in pics,, they have the correct tyres the p-zeros correct size they comw out the factory, once ive lowered it on the coilovers and spacered all wheels flush with the arches that should to the trick.
Nothing planned engine wise going to keep it as it is..

**mr shickadance** · 02-23-2011 06:50 AM

your front looks like it needs to rise about .5 cm to sit more flush to the hood but all in all it looks great

**Operator** · 02-23-2011 08:29 AM

Very nice work so far, looking forward to the final product!!!

**05 S-LINE** · 02-23-2011 11:38 AM

Awesome work! Now all you need to complete the exterior is some bi-xenon housings.

**Mike@Addict** · 02-23-2011 06:40 PM

did u use OEM front fenders? or have them stretched and pulled?

**quattro47** · 02-23-2011 06:51 PM

Love it! Jealous...

any plans on upgrades for the engine or all body work?

**4RingRook** · 02-23-2011 10:28 PM

Good luck on the conversion OP. Looks great so far!

APA4 - OP said he's not planning engine upgrades, just cosmetic changes.

Yet another RS4 conversion, subscribed as always

Good Luck and keep us updated hehe After all this body work, it would only be right for the engine to get some of the attention as well

**mariosa4** · 02-28-2011 01:41 PM

good luck with your project friend. One question , are these wheels 9 x19 ET:29? cause this is the right rs4 offset and yours looks like et 45 . Correct me if i'm wrong

**Doctor** · 03-01-2011 05:30 AM

So jealous...I need a money-cutting-tree for this project i guess...
Awesome...keep us updated, and let us know for the difficulties you ran into if possible.

Thanks

Is that the reason why only 5mm spacers looks like it brought the wheel out so far?

I am ET 32 on my stock s-line wheels and just bought 10mm for my rears and plan on moving the 8mm up to the front (I hope 8mm up front for me wont be to much?)

ok then ,it must be the angle of the photo . Is that AWD or not? if it is then having different spacers front and back may affect the central differential or steering.
