wheel fitment need help b5 s4

[mrbogangles]

I got some bbs lm rep.
18x8 and 18x9 with +38 offset
i know i am going to haft to run some 5mm spacer up front to clear the calibers
i am going to run 245 40 18 tires
i am wondering if there is going to be any rubbing issues
or if this wheel would clear
its going to be on stock susp.

I have no recommendations for the back, but for the front you should be running a 225/40/18 tire.

ok thanks for the info

i just hope the rear would be ok cuz i already have the tires

[Doc@tirerack]

245/45 looks a little tall to work safely.....

i am going to run 245 40 on the rear
225 40 on front

i just hope it doesnt rub

Do NOT mix and match tire sizes on a quattro.

i got 18x9 for the rear front are 18x8
would a 225 fit on a 9in wide wheel
but since the rear wheels are wider shouldnt i get a wider tire
like 225 in front and 235 in the rear

some 225's will clear 9 inches. youd have to look up the specs (tirerack.com has a good easy to read chart)

as far as the staggered setup, you need to research the rolling diameters of each tire youre looking at and make sure theres less than a 4% difference in size otherwise you'll be burning up your center differential.

As other have mentioned that is a not a good idea at all. Audi's have a lot of weight bias forward so why would you want to put smaller tires on the front? Audi's are meant to have equal sized tires all around...and to combat under steer some tuners have actually used larger tires in the front.

Not to mention but your choices are really limited getting a 225/40/18 with a load rating of 95 or better.

If you want to run a staggered set up buy a Bimmer, Benz or a '76 Monte.

Cheers,
