S4 rims OEM offset ?

[EuroTall]

can someone educate me on what offset the OEM Avus S4 wheels are?

is it 35mm or 45mm ?

[hadokenny]

i believe its 45mm

[EuroTall]

I thought that.
Isnt there markings on the wheels somewhere where I can be 100% on that ..
Looking to buy wheels so need to know what specs I need new rims in.

right on !
thanks.

So rims with 35 or 38 et would not fit then

[s4Rye]

Aftermarket rims with 35 offset will fit. I think most are 35 or in that range. 38 should be fine.

35mm offset just pushes the wheel/tire out a bit more vs stock. Also allows for more brake clearance w/bbks

You're saying POSITIVE Offset right? ...where the hub is moved out but perimeter of the wheel is pushed in
as the left one in this pic:

the lower the offset number the more they will stick out. i have ET32 Offset wheels on my car. (bbs RXIIs) and they fill the wheel well out, stock offsets of 45 make them stick in the well a little.... so when i install my coilovers in the next few days it should look pretty baller. haha.

Yeah I'm getting some C/O soon too.
Looking at the Tracksport by Stassis at the moment as in my other post.

So if you have 32 et and my S4 has 45 et, then my wheel HUB is further out then yours right ?
My tire might be outside the Flush of the fender and might rub if I get the car lowered with the C/O.
that's my concern and thus these questions follow.

thanks for your input Nick

you can lower your car with coilovers on S4 wheels without a problem. do you have an S4? or just s4 wheels on an A4? i used to have S4 wheels on my car a long time ago.

yeah I have an S4 now, trying to sell my A4 (as in my sig)

check out my garage, someone had this quote in their sig before:
"the only thing better than an AUDI is 2 Audis"
