Miro Wheel (CONCAVE) Test Fit on RS4

**WerkzRS** · 02-16-2012 05:08 PM

A customer ( in South Africa) wants a set of these for his RS4 and so after many calls and what not, I finally got my hands on one wheel to test fit. I took some pics testing on my car and I have to say they look really good for what they are. Specs are 19x9.5 ET40, yes, wheel spacers are needed lol. I have sourced a set of 15mm and 20mm to continue the test fitting. Running 10mm on my car so pictures below are with 10mm. Caliper does not clear! thats ET30. So I'll try the other spacers tonight. Im thinking its not going to fly due to the high concavity of the wheel, im keeping my eye on the face of the wheel and fender....keep you posted.

X2. I have considered trying to make a set of these work myself. Let us know what you are able to come up with!

**Mc Suly** · 02-16-2012 06:01 PM

i like how miro are popular & look great

nice beer in the background ;)

Well after tonight we concluded that these will not work on the RS4, the 15mm was enough to clear the big brake but the face of the wheel just stood out way too much....here are the pics (better quality)...worth the shot! They would have look good...

**staticuxo** · 02-17-2012 05:13 AM

but once you lower it camber should make it tuck.

**B6UltraSport** · 02-17-2012 05:40 AM

A little poke never killed anyone...

**denis silva** · 02-17-2012 08:11 AM

you have to see how it loos w the tires on it! but looks good!

**WerkzRS** · 02-17-2012 08:22 AM

That was the downfall of borrowing the wheel. No tire could be mounted or no return. I did see it camber but I don't think it would of been enough.

**Trogdor1464** · 02-17-2012 10:04 AM

Meh, to much poke, especially for the front. They would probably fit perfect in the rear though. Sucks because they would have looked good too.

Yes! You've gotta lower it to the ground in order to get an idea of wheel fitment. This is why you see all the 'stance' kids putting 2x4's or pads under a mounted rim to get an idea of how it will sit. I can work some pictures to show how this is done but here is a quick example. Yes these are horrible pictures and yes it's a MINI Cooper but the idea is the same.

Here is the car with the weight taken off it how the suspension sits:

Here is it set back on the ground:

As you can see the weight plays a huge part! I would suspect that it would be okay in fitment (depending on how you like your wheels to sit.)

**Trogdor1464** · 02-17-2012 10:31 AM

What are the specs on these wheels anyway?
19x?
ET ?

**denis silva** · 02-17-2012 10:36 AM

i agree !+1

We will try this out, ill keep you guys posted and post some pics once its lowered.

19x9.5 ET40 without spacers.

**howsyouraspen** · 02-17-2012 07:45 PM

I think they look about perfect to me. The guys are right, once you put it on the ground it should sit flush. I like those Miro 111's.

**John@TAG** · 02-17-2012 08:27 PM

those would work fine. It should fit nice and flush once sitting on the ground and a tire with a slight bit of stretch = you have a winner setup!

**KDay** · 02-17-2012 08:56 PM

how much for your stock wheels?

**WerkzRS** · 02-21-2012 10:40 PM

its official my dudes! The wheels will work! barley but they fit

. It's an aggressive setup but i think it'll look pretty nice! here are the pics (vid included)...... our client gave us the green light!

FRONT:

CALIPER CLEARANCE (BARELY):

REAR:

**Trogdor1464** · 02-22-2012 08:17 AM

Damn that's gonna look good. What size tires is he gonna run?

**oreo8716** · 02-22-2012 12:52 PM

thats perfect

**maxbhp** · 02-22-2012 04:43 PM

Looks like you will rub if the tires aren't stretched or the fenders aren't rolled. Looking forward to seeing the results.

What tire size planned?

Did you successfully get tires on without any rubbing issues? What size? I would love to see the final product!!

**Coderedpl** · 02-27-2012 04:49 PM

Holy crap just noticed the post. Wow, talk about cutting it close!

**MAARKUS** · 02-27-2012 04:53 PM

that caliper clearance is insane lol. looks like it sits perfectly flush

**TRS4** · 03-04-2012 10:16 PM

considered going this route ... interested to see how they turn out with rubber and sitting on the ground.

**WerkzRS** · 03-05-2012 12:19 AM

Sup guys well, tire size was kept at 255 for the time being (tiny slight stretch) We have shipped the set and have asked for pics once they have been installed. Im going to pick up set this week just because i really liked the look after volunteering my car for the test fit. Considering this is in fact, a lower end wheel, they are very nice. Aesthetically they work! Garrett at MIRO really help us out w/ this.

**billq** · 03-29-2012 06:31 AM

**Maddog3xx8** · 04-06-2012 10:20 AM

**denis silva** · 04-06-2012 11:56 AM

**TRS4** · 04-08-2012 05:56 PM

yes pics pics pics!!

**stuntfish** · 04-08-2012 07:06 PM

I know 19 x 8.5 with 6mm spacers on the front will fit on B7 S4's. But I know your breaks are bigger just drop'n you some info just in case

**Marky G** · 04-12-2012 01:03 PM

Running these heavy azzed cast Miros on an RS4 just seems wrong and into downgrade over the stock rollers to me......similar to a hot female in a smoking hot dress rocking some Converse runners or something; calls for some hot heels / light, custom, forged rollers.
