Is this TOO wide for you?

[tike0rz]

I bought 15mm spacers for use with my winter wheels, but decided to keep em on for a lil while longer to see how it looks. I'm not sure what I think of them. I have 17 inch BBS CHs on 245/40 General Exclaims.

More formally, I never properly introduced myself on this site, I just kinda jumped right into discussions. I'm a student at Rutgers University in Camden, NJ. I bought this car last August with 127,000 on the clock from an enthusiast in Maryland.

Most of the pics were taken with my feeble Kodak, with the exception of a few professionally done by a friend.

As the car sits now it doesn't have too many exterior mods, but let me know what you think it needs, if any. Thanks.









And some less recent pictures, without spacers.









No CEL! 142k miles and counting!

This car will be Stage 3 within a year, I'm just a college student!

[RolledMySTi]

Looks good. I like it with the spacers

[AudiSportB5S4]

i love when i see high mileage S4's makes me happy lol. im at 92 YOUNG. shit, just replaced about everything 10k ago so i should be in the clear for a bit lol at least with MAJOR shit! anyways, i kinda like the spacers. looks good!

[eliTTe]

yikes, rollin on the UHP's too huh? atleast there fun to do donuts in lol.

and yeh its a little too wide for me, but its not bad.

[s vier]

Take the spacers off....you had the perfect stance before.

[gointoscott]

Looks awsome, and Wow I agree, nice to see over 140k on the clock! keep piling those miles on.

A few things I would do is drop the car a little bit more and I do think the rear tires stick out a little too much. If you get them to line up with the rear quarter panels I think they would look better.


But that is my opinion. Overall Car looks awsome

[Audi S4 Turbo]

With out. No need to fix something that doesn't need fixing. 245 don't run and look fine. IMO it looks better not SOO far out.

[ThirdStrike]

no tire stretch FTL
rock some 225's or even better 215's ....
im poking almost as much as you but the stretch properly pulls it off. 225's on 8.5 inch wheels with 20mm spacers in rear ftw

[saucys4]

nice car man. the moving pic from behind your car is currently my background for my avic d3 haha. personally though i liked it without the spacers.

[Dr.Duct]

Like thirdstrike says, you need more stretch.

If you want to go with a wide tire, vs. a stretched tire, you with a diffrent tire. Something that has less of a meaty all season tire on it.

In the end its your car, just my opinion.. but very nice pics

[Overboostin]

I agree with the stretch. If you were lowered a bit more and stretched, I would love it.

[ECA4]

I would take the spacers off, the car looked perfect without them.

BTW, fellow RU student here

[OWENthatsmyname]

wow nice car. i personally like it better w/o the spacers. or maybe some smaller spacers? 5mm?

where in philly are u at?

and seeing someone w/ more miles than me makes me warm and fuzzy. i just hit 100,000 and i felt dirty

[Reich]

I have spacer too. Looks exactly like yours. My wheel are out of 3/4'' from my fenders. That give a damn good look to the car but handling is not that good. It has tendency of more under turn than before. I'll revove them this summer.

[Rane_kn]

I dont think it looks too wide. i'm not one for the protruding look but ur set up looks good gives it a lil more of an aggressive stance down low. and dam u for have more miles than me and ur led screen still works!! i just hit 102000 this weekend. great car i always loved the blue!

[casawhites4]

hey playassss...i was just at rutgers this weekend...went to see my girl up there...didnt see many audis..did see a black s5 last time i went up...i was over by senior street..where were you guys at!!!

[ECA4]

You were in the New Brunswick campus? Let us know next time your up here. There's a meet in Edgewater every week I'd be willing to cruise up there.

[SoFresh]

I think they look good that wide.... the roads suck here so im sure it would rub constantly, lol

RU FTW!... ECA4 are you in a frat there? 2 of my buddies are in Sig Ep... I dont know if you remember me I started the meet at Bridgewater before it got busted

Yea the roads aren't so good in Philly/South Jersey either...it rubs sometimes. I'm gonna take them off this weekend definitely, and throw in some pics of how that looks.

[S4-ORCE]

Take them off

[blooeyz]

it looks great

[audinoobs4]

Looks good both ways. nice mileage keep it alive.

[Vuel Egham]

Looks alright, a little pokey though.

[damnthemansam]

poke & stretch ftw

[Rated S]

Damn, I have OEM B7 S4 (A4 S-Line/RS6) wheels with +35 offset and 25mm spacers in the back (10mm upfront) and I don't poke nearly as hard as you.

[cleveland222]

no spacers, or the stretched look is nice too. but as is, definately take the spacers off. imo

[eliTTe]

^^ sorry but there is such a thing as too much... and thats a prime example!

[damnthemansam]

^^ well apparently "too much" gets you a spread in EuroTuner.. look for it

[ECA4]

RU FTW!... ECA4 are you in a frat there? 2 of my buddies are in Sig Ep... I dont know if you remember me I started the meet at Bridgewater before it got busted

No frat for me, I commute so i'm only on campus for class.

I do remember you, the black B6 with the reiger kit? I had the white B7 A4 back then.

1. exclaim UHPs own, its a great tire. FUCK 452s, ill never buy them again...
2. p&s ftw:

[tike0rz]

Holy poke Batman...that GTI is freakin wide!

[CruzS4]

car looks good man, I love nogaro... stance looks good with the spacers, makes it look aggressive, especially from behind. (although the rear tires might be a hair too far out) BBS CH are sick, very classy. I'm a senior at Villanova, poor, waiting to dump a bunch of money into the S4 once i start working. as for exterior mods, just steer clear of the rieger front bumper. go OEM RS4 or do nothing at all... and no CEL with over 140k, how the shit is that possible?

Thanks for the comment.

Have faith my friend! It is possible!

[djvice]

Holy offset, beaner!

[BrokeDown[20V]]

I like poke, as long as the stretch keeps the tire in the fender well.

[tike0rz]

Holy offset, beaner!

ROFL, ok Carlos Mencia

thats TOO much.

[adam's rotors]

right

[Alex@VAG]

You'll need at least 245 to get any kind of grip on UHPs... I like wide tires, it's purposefull. But better switch to some real tires if you want any performance, you'd be surprised at the difference it makes.
