I have tried searching, but couldn't find it -- I remember seeing someone who was running real RS4 19x9s on a B7 with rolled fenders, does anyone remember this? What size/offset are the wheels, and what size tires was he running? On somewhat of an unrelated note, whats the widest tire you can safely run on a replica RS4 rim without rubbing? I do plan on dropping my car eventually. Does VMR actually produce their wheels, because I found what I believe to be the exact same wheels from ebay seller "wheelsandcaps" for $699 (19s). They are 19x8 with a 42mm offset. Are they the same wheels? Sorry, I know its a bunch of questions. Basically, is it worth running real RS4 wheels or can I get a meaty look without rubbing on a set of RS4 replicas?

VMR makes some excellent RS4 Reps. Very high quality and durable. The most popular and best set up for 19" wheels will be 19x8.5" with 35 offset. The wheel lines up flush with the fender and looks very clean.
If you want to run 19x9" all the way around, I would go with et42 for offset or even et45.
With a 9" wheel I would recommend running 245/35/19 for your tire size.

Maybe you're thinking RS6 reps. They come in 19x9 with a et25 offset if I'm not mistaken ( I could be wrong but they do stick out). I know a guys with em on his B7 and they fit fine. No rubbing and it's lowered with H&R sport springs.

yeah... fat chance that its et25... that is A LOT of poke.
I spent a month to get my wheels to fit properly without rubbing and they are et32.
