    Ok need some help!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I just got my car about a month ago and my plan is to change the wheels that are on it because I dont like the look of them. Little to my knowlage till yesterday when I got a flat tire. Pull over take the flat off, go to put the spare on, which is just the stock b5 s4 wheel, and it dosent fit. The holes dont line up? Look closer and the guy put adapters/spacers to make the wheels on it now fit. He also did it because it was converted into a wide body. So here is my problem I have to ditch the adapters because they are POS and not safe, but seeing how I am a wide body my wheels are offset right now to 18x8 in the front and 18x8.5 out back so by taking the adapters off, which add about .5in would I need to get a wider tire to fit the wide body? Also where the hell can I find a set of rims that are offset? I like the look of the OZ Ultraleggeras and the Flki Justice but they dont make them in an offset like I need.....If anyone can help me out or has some info on what the hell I should do that would be great!!!!!

    My car is a 2000 S4 that might help lol

    Thanks, Justin

    Visit a custom wheel shop where they can measure the car up. The wide body kit puts you outside our "regular" suggestions, so someone will need to see how much room you have to work with and go from there. Good luck.

    Well if you use high quality wheel adapters like H&R and Rouge, you shouldn't have a problem using them.

    Yea... its better to run the correct fitment wheel rather then running spacers. Save time and money.
