PLS help me find out if these wheels will clar my 355BBK on my 2000 Audi S4

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a Stoptech 355BBk (~14") for my 2000 Audi S4. The OEM 17" wheels will not clear them so I am going to buy some wheels now.

I found a set that I really like and wanted your help to see if these will work. I called 2 places and they said yes and the 3rd said No.

Here are the specs of the wheels.

They are Tenzo R Type-M Version 2.

18x8 all around with an ET45.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Any thoughts?

My off the cuff opinion is the offset is too high for clearance, but nothing that spacers may not be able to cure if you really like the wheels. Try printing the template for your BBK and see if it will work:

Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing. I've already got the template. Will just have to wait and see I guess.

No problem. FWIW, I have had a hard time finding wheels to fit my Brembo 355 kit. Granted, I have the 6pot calipers which are huge and I don't know how wide the ST's are, so maybe it won't be as difficult for you. I will say that the OZ SL's (et32) and BBS CH's (et35) cleared in case you ever go a different route. I believe the OZ UL's will clear too.

Good luck.

You'll probably want a 10mm spacer in the front and 15mm in the rear just to make it look better. Thats a high offset and I doubt it will clear without them anyway.

Offset seems a bit high. 18x8.0 should be around a +35. Depending on spoke design the lower offset still may not even clear the caliper.
