    quick question about wheel setup

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Im trying to get a set of OZ wheels from a local seller. they 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?

    Re: quick question about wheel setup

    You are correct. Audi and Mercedes hubs are different. 57.1 to 66.6 Tire size in the front looks good but the rear size is going to have rubbing issues since you are lowered. I have no recommendations unfortunately on staggered offsets for Audi.

    Thanks,

    will it work if I put stretch tires in the rear? lets say like 235/40/18 in the rear, will i get rubbing from that?

    thanks

    Only sizes we guarantee are 225/40-18, 235/35-18 and 245/35-18 only if ET is lower than 35mm
