Hey,
Title says it all really..Wondering about running 18x8.5 ET 31 up front without any fender rolling or pulling (BBS RS wheel). As far as i know, 18x8.5 ET35 seems to fit fine, however i'm unsure about ET 31. Any insight would be appreciated. [:D]

ET31 would simply extend 4mm closer to the fender. Backspace would not change. Make sure you have the 4mm fender clearance and brake clearance and you're good to go.

People have run the OEM RS4 19x9 et29 with no issues. Those will work fine.

The wheels have a one and a half inch lip, however..So i'm concerned about brake clearance. And if i throw on a spacer, i'll be the ET20~ range which i'd imagine could be problematic.

X2 on this. You mess with the circumference of the wheel and BOOM! There goes your engine.

What size tire are you running? Just got a good deal on a set of 19' 255/35's Conti Sports from a 2012 S4. Trying to determine what wheel offset I need to go with without having to roll the fenders also.

If your low which I'm hoping you are since your running 19s, your gonna rub like a mother! with those 255s...

Haven't dropped it yet. Tires on my 17's wore out, so perfect time to upgrade to new wheels as well.
