Body work to widen fenders 1.5" on each side to fit 315/30 R 18 Hoosier A6's

[2photors4]

Wheels are 18 x 11" Fiske rims with zero offset.

[-Boosted-]

Whoa!

[stormscr3]

lol are those slicks?

[Datadatum]

Wow - never thought I'd see that the RS4 fenders weren't wide enough!

[mkivr32]

Definitely different and bad ass, personal opinion (doesn't matter not my car) is it looks out of proportion now. Props on the work though looks like it was done right.

[2photors4]

You are right in that that lateral view of the fender profile is a little different. In order to maintain the same slope of the fender so that the whole fender did not have to be rebuilt, it ends up that the peak of the wheel opening is 1/2" lower than stock but the front and back of the opening feather out to stock height.

[WinterRunner]

Awesome, I personally love that.

[2photors4]

They are Hoosier A6's. Basically they are slicks that are DOT approved because of a thin rain groove.

We definitely need an ass pic. In sane looking even from the side!

[zmon]

any pics with stock wheels, or whatever wheels you run on the street... assuming you DD or have a street setup.

[WinterRunner]

What is your front tire setup btw?

[Mr.Wrong]

Front fenders also got widened?
Would like to see more pictures from different angles.

[WinterRunner]

Looks to be, check out the autocross pic thread, they have an angle to them, seem to slope out a bit more than stock.

Here is my ass

This is a daily driver. Here are a couple of pics with the stock wheels on 30 mm adaptors. I would prefer 40 mm but have not been able to find them.

What is your front tire setup btw?

Front and rear tires and wheels are the same for handling and so I can rotate them for wear.

Front fenders got the same 1.5" widening each as the rear. Here are some more pics.











Euro steering wheel and seats.

Too much for me but to each his own. Props for mixing it up.

The Mustangs, Cameros and Chargers are usually running 315's and you don't want to get beat by American muscle if you can help it.

[Marky G]

Great original styles man!! Looks very muscle car beef-cakey now for sure.

A group of us come up to Kelowna every year for May long weekend with our VW's/Audi's/Porsches etc. We'll be at Knox Mountain Saturday. Will we get to see this beast in person?!

Cheers!

[troyguitar]

Awesome. Fender mods for performance instead of some dope ass stance = winning.

[Flying Tomatoes]

Awesome project!

I would love to see this in person. It looks absolutely amazing from some angles, but not quite right from others. Photos do that sort of stuff though. Have you ever thought about doing something different/custom with the front bumper? it looks like you widened the whole rear bumper but left the front alone?

How does the steering feel with such a wide tire up front? Just seems like wayyy too much tire up front.

Was wondering the same thing. God I hope we see this car this weekend!!!

I will be there on Saturday. Turner Audi VW which sponsors the race wants me to show the car there. What time do you want to meet?

Actually it does not really feel any different. My street tires on stock rims are 275/35 R 19 will tram a little any way if the road is rutted. However, on the track you never notice it. Keeping wide tires on the front helps with the understeer. I usually have to replace annually some of the ends on the 034 upper adjustable control arms because of clunking caused by increased wear. I even bent a couple.

love the widebody, hate the chromed autox wheels

you should get them powder coated white or orange - something that will pop against the Daytona Gray without being chrome..

They are just aluminum on the spokes and polished on the rim. They were the cheapest for racing. I still use my stock rims on the street with 30 mm adaptors.

Maybe pm me your number and I can give you a shout when we are heading down there!

Oh ok, well they shine enough to be chrome. :)

Is this setup purely for autocross or do you do HPDE / track days as well?

I haven't tracked it yet but plan to.

I PM'd you with my cell number.

It's a nose-heavy car with driven front wheels, it needs all the front tire it can get. As long as the geometry is still good his car will corner way faster than a car with the same tires but in stock size.

The new Z28 Camaro is the fastest one ever on tracks and it comes with 305 tires all around on a lighter chassis. Hell a lot of S2000 guys use a 275 square setup and their car weighs 1000 lbs less and has way less power. An RS4 (or S4 even) can definitely make use of a 315 setup.

[Datadatum]

^ For a point of comparison in another AWD car, I run 275 Hoosier A6's on my '05 STi at Autocross. That car weighs about 700 lbs less than the RS4. (Running 400/400 awHP/awTQ can actually spin all 4 tires. LOL)

What Autocross class are you running the STi in?

From a wind resistance point of view, I think the ideal thing would be to put a whole, wider racing bumper on. However, in my autocross class I can only put on fender flares. It would be too tacky to bolt on fiberglass ones so hence the mods. The front bumper was not been changed. The rear bumper was pushed out a little where the bumper meets the wheel opening.

[Mr. Corey]

Looks nice op

[komseh]

I think it looks fuckin badass. Nice work.

[OscarMeyer]

Holy crap! This thing does exist! I have few buddies that are techs at turner, say this car is amazing in person! I'm actually now planning on driving to kelowna to see this thing, Marky G I'll shoot you a text!

Btw if you ever want to sell those seats and steering wheel, you let me know the time and place and I will be there with cash in hand! LoL

[J Ozzie]

You should Join VAC so we can oooo and awe over this RS4! Plus we are looking into doing a interior meet ;)
