Umm, that's way more than a tad. I personally wouldn't run them. I bet the rears are borderline with significant rubbing. What offsets are the wheels?

head on over to zilvia.net fitment and wheel whore thread, you will get pointed in the right direction for next steps lol

it's just the fronts that are too much (and I think the angle of the photo exaggerated it). The rears don't really poke much. I rubbed on dips last night before removing the 12 o'clock fender liner screw and since then I haven't rubbed yet. Honestly if I ran smaller tires like pretty much everyone else on here then I don't think I would have an issue. TONS of people run OEM RS4 wheels that are 19x9 et29. These are 19x9 et33 so I would think they should be almost exactly the same. If I had a 235 or 245 tire on there I think they would be pretty much dead flush with the back maybe needing a 3-5mm spacer if you cared about having them match (I don't). I was on the edge about the tire size before and whether it was too big. 255 was kinda ideal for me since that's the stock size and I'd prefer more meat to the tire. I'm still in the air on them, but my thoughts were the problem is more the tire size vs. wheel size.

I just mounted my old Fat 5's with 255/45/17's on my S4 Avant and took it for a 10 mile test drive no indication of rubbing.

Hey Fulham, Cheers. I considered that but I’m painting the blades when I sort out the hood to colour match the car. Found a CF Cupra Lip, which will go on.
If I don’t like the colour, I can always get the blades from Eurogear later.
Kinda walking a thin line with trying to keep it looking modded without going over the top.

Looking good, those Relak skirts are starting to grow on me. Needs more down though.

**tmorgan4** · 12-06-2013 06:27 PM

Had a close call. Fortunately the only casualties are the plastic skidplates!

Yeah Black, it’s on the radar. Might do it when I have to change out the rotors.

Damn, you were lucky! Did the seat come out with you? My sphincter pucker factor would have been off the chart!
Is that dark streak under the rear door a slide mark??

**800088** · 12-07-2013 02:18 AM

Getting out of the car afterwards would have been pretty hairy once you saw how close you are to rolling over. Brettannica : weren't you meant to paint the bonnet? :)

Yep, Sure am 800088! Been slightly delayed due to wife’s insistence of going to Sydney for 5 days next week… ker-ching

Happy wife = Happy Life!

They didn't even ask me for permission, but my black beauty ended up in this photo. Pretty good looking photo though, and they even blocked my plate out......on another note, The Shaved Duck is amazing, so if you are ever in the area, you need to eat there.

Laying frame to an extreme level.

Glad you managed to save it though!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007 S4 DOLPHIN GREY RTM

Please help.
I want to get a roof rack for my car I'm only going to be carrying snowboards. I don't want it to be to over the top.
I've done research on THULE and YAKIMA I can't decide on a setup. Any ideas?

Excessive speed catch up with you? I can't imagine what you were trying to avoid out there other than the ditch. ;-)

The Shaved Duck is amazing!! Love their BBQ. I was there a couple weeks back and thought I saw your car parked out front. Did you have a BBK with yellow rotors?

Looks great! The rear side reflector almost looks like a German flag in that picture =]

**blackedoutt** · 12-21-2013 10:03 AM

I thought that was a German flag sticker on my phone! Looks good.

**TarlCabot** · 12-21-2013 11:59 AM

the colors aren't for me, but im liking the look :)

Currently driving a beastly RS 4. Love it! I know the PO should have picked up a JHM charger, but this PES unit ain't too bad so far!

This was in the service bay next to Pia (my Cabrio) on Friday at NGP Lorton.

Yes that is a PES SC in the valley. This was dropped out of a C5 S6 Avant to get the long-tube headers massaged for frame clearance.

Someday...

New wheels are going on this weekend if not tomorrow, new pics coming soon. Hint: 18x9.5 on a B6 S4.

Hey all - just picked up my first Audi. The previous owner put some serious love into this car and it shows. Cheers!

**SpoolBus** · 02-09-2014 10:04 AM

Sweet Avant! What's all done to it?

**moyenecorniche** · 02-09-2014 01:28 PM

**98champ** · 02-09-2014 01:51 PM

Thanks a sick Avant!

**S4Gwagon** · 02-09-2014 06:20 PM

Thanks! Here's a brief list of the mods - the previous owner moved to Dubai and his parents were selling the car. I got a brief rundown of everything he did to it, but I'm sure I'm missing a lot here:

Wheels / suspension:
- VMR 19x10 in the rear, 19x9 in the front, all wrapped in Continental 245/35/19
- Coilover suspension (I believe he said it was the KW V3)
- Some kind of rear linkage (camber bars?) to push the bottom out and make sure the rear tires move inside the fenders
- Custom spacers (not sure sizes)

Body
- APR Racing carbon front splitter
- Custom carbon side skirts
- Custom vinyl wrap on the hood and roof

Engine / Exhaust
- Full RS4 exhaust
- Carbon air intake
- GIAC software
- Previous owner said that was good for ~390 crank hp on pump gas. It also has options for stock, race, and valet modes.

Interior
- Custom Alpine stereo / equalizer setup
- 1000W amplifier and sub built into custom S4 silver box (I don't really have an interest in this, feel free to PM me if you want it)

Best part is, the car has been dealer-maintained its whole life. The PO had a buddy who worked for Audi / Lamborghini and would always take it to him. The smog test shows how well it's been cared for, absolutely the lowest emissions possible on the test. I'm planning to put some slightly smaller wheels on it (some that actually fit inside the fenders) and raise it up a bit so I don't pull the splitter off next time I come across a speed bump.
