    Looking for B8

    So this is somewhat strange however I'm looking for a a4 preferably a avant 2009 or newer to test fit my bbs rs on. If they fit right then I won't sell them when I decided to trade my car in. I live in boulder willing to drive to meet.

    b8's have a different centerbore. I believe they use a 66.1 where as we use a 57.1. If you wanted to keep your wheels you would have to bore them out to fit the bigger bore a b8, that is unless you are currently running hub centric rings.

    The B8 is 66.6 center bore. Two would need to be bored to fit.

    As long as the tires are within 3% of each other front to back you'll be fine.

    What sizes and offsets are they?

    So did some more research and this is what I found a guy running 18x10.5 et 20 and 18x11 et 26 on a b7, my wheels are 17x8.5 et 8 and 17x9.5 et-5. I ran my specs in offset calculator fronts will have 7mm more room then the other guys wheels and rear will poke 12mm however I plan to shave off the 12mm to gain make same poke as other guy. So before I decided to do all this I'd like see if everything is correct when I put wheels on car.

    I remember seeing your wheels on StanceWorks. I'd kill for a set of RS285 slant lips.
