    Buying some wheels, need help

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Im buying some new wheels for my S4, I'm liking the Hartmann R8 Replicas

    http://shop.achtuning.com/index.asp?...OD&ProdID=1150

    Will these fit on my stock height s4? I'm probably gonna go 18's
    I've been reading about people having problems with the offsets and stuff, which is something I dont really understand.. any help is appreciated.

    18x8.0" ET 35

    Also, what size tires are recomended? Should I stick with 225's or go a little wider?

    Even know the stock ride height is pretty high, but it is a fairly soft suspension so you may rub if you go wider than 225. You may need to roll the fender if that is the case.

    235/40 on stock height, you shouldn't rub. I'm about 2 1/2" lower than stock with the same dimension wheel/tire and don't rub at all. 225/45 (or 40) will look goofy without a drop though.

    235/40/18s wont rub with stock ride height with your final offset of et32 (including the 3mm spacer) on an 8" wide wheels. but if you lower they car you may have rubbing on the fender depending on how low you go. 225s look nice on 8" wide wheels so no NEED to go wider unless you are looking for a bit more traction.
