quick question about wheel

[ahwest]

Im trying to get a set of OZ wheels. the were originally equipped on a mercedes. they are 18inch with ET35 front and back, i dont know the acual size like 18x? , however they have 225/40/18 tires in the front and 255/35/18 in back. i just want to make sure if they will fit on my B5 S4 without rubbing. the car is lowered with stasis coilovers.
i also heard even the lug pattern are the same but sometimes they would hae problem with the hub centric? i dont know anything about these so if someone could help me out that will be greatly appreciate, thanks!

how they look, btw what is the name of this OZ style called?

255 in the back will rub. Offset will be different and most likely the lug pattern.

oh i know the lug pattern is the same 5x112, just not sure if they will rub.

The wheels are OZ Classe. The bolt pattern is right, but you will probably need hubcentric rings since the hub diameters on Mercedes vehicles are larger than Audis. Contact Tirerack and they should be able to get you the right hub rings.

Now, other things to consider are brake clearance on your front wheels since our calipers are so huge. Of course, worst case scenario, you can get spacers. Further, you should confirm with the seller the width of the wheels with the 255's. The difference in tire widths makes me believe the the seller may be running an actual staggered set up (e.g., 18x8.5 in front and 18x9.5 in the rear), which may also present fitment issues such as rubbing or even hitting suspension parts.

in my case, what is the maximum width i can go with the 255 tires?

oh im been researching on these rims after knowing the name of the style. sees like they are 18x8 and 18x9 in width... so am i gonna be ok with these width?

[volks88]

i run those widths

[ahwest]

are they gonna rub with the width of 18x9 with 255 tires in the rear?
also is the stagger setup going to hurt the quattro system?

i run the same size frnt and rear to avoid problems. it gives me a little more stretch in the rear to avoid rubbing. i think a 9" with a 255 in the rear will destroy your car if you're really low. im also running a et25 so im not sure if the 10mm you'll gain with a et35 will help clear that tire or not.

[ahwest]

what tire size are you running with?
i think by stretching the tires in the rear might help the clearance?

heres a 235/40 on a 9" wheel with a et25
