    Does anyone know what is the size of USP wheel?
    I have a set of B5 RS4 wheels 8.5x18 ET20, factory tire fitted on B5 RS4 is 255/35/18. Will B5 RS4 fit B6? and on what tire size? TIA...

    The B5 RS4 wheel and the USP wheel look identical, but are not exact twins. The sizes are different for one, the USP wheel is an 18x8 et 43 wheel factory fitted with 235/40/18. And the spoke style is slightly different, it is a small detail but easily noticed by someone who has been up close with both wheels.

    The B5 RS4 wheel will fit on a B6, I'm pretty sure it will poke out a little. The front fenders is where I am not sure.

    The USP wheel is 18x8 ET43.

    Tire size on your wheels is ok. The offset may cause the wheel to stick out too far from the fender. Remember the B5 RS4 had flared out fenders to handle a wider wheel and an offset to still make it near flush with the fender.

    This is usp reps at 18x8.5 et 30. I have 235/40/18 tires. You can notice how they are ever so slightly over the fender. I had to raise my front end up a little from 18x8 et 35 with 225/35/18 tires. I think maybe 1/4" to stop the rubbing. I'd think the et20 would put them out quite a bit.
