I need a set of OEM RS4 wheels to TEST fit on my avant with 255 width tires. I normally have a set, but the car they're on is out of the state for the season.
Can anyone oblige? PM me if so.
One item of your choice can be had.. Beer, Money, Mail Order Korean Brides and the like..

Thanks, I'll shoot you a PM if this weekend doesn't work out. I have to go to Monterey sometime in the next couple weeks anyway

Anyone out there? I just need to throw one side on for fitment purposes.
I am meticulous about my car, and will respect yours identically.

The previous owner of my car pretty much maxed out the available space. Here's a pic - it's running 19x10's in the back and 19x9's in the front with 235/35 all around in the front. He also added adjustable control arms in the rear to increase negative camber so that the wheels would tuck under the fender under some load. It's tight, but I think 235 is about as far as anyone recommends on a 19 inch rim without fender work.

Thanks, I've got fender work done actually. Currently running 18x9.5 ET38 wrapped in 265/35's. Your car is beautiful! I had a Brilliant Red a couple of years ago! I attached some photos for you.
I think I'll be able to fit OEM RS4 wheels with the 255 width tire, but It would be so much easier to just throw two on on one side and see first hand.
I'm not looking to drive around on anyone's wheels, I just want to look at clearance. I'm pretty sure they'll fit, with about 1mm of clearance, but want to double check.
Regards,
Harith

Here's a link to my calculations.
http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=265&aspect=35&diameter=18&wheelwidth=9.5&offset=38&width2=255&aspect2=35&diameter2=19&wheelwidth2=9&offset2=29#content
This statement is what makes me think I can fit it. I definitely have ~3mm to the outside Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 15.4mm further away from the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 2.7mm more than before.
