    19x8.5 ET30 on a B7?

    I found a wheel that I like the looks of and its listed as fitting all A4s of of any year. I emailed the manufacturer asking about the offset, since it wasn't listed, and they told me it comes in ET20 and ET30.

    I emailed them back and asked them to check again to make sure the Audi version of this wheel came in those offsets, since I was fairly sure that an 8.5" wheel with a ET30 offset wont fit a B7 S-line, or would be poking out badly.

    When I emailed them back again saying that I didnt think it would fit, they said they have been selling it to Audi owners for a year with no problems.

    Will these fit?

    Here is the link to the wheel on eBay:

    Here is a thread where I was asking about the wheel and Photoshopped it onto a black B7:

    We just did a 19x8 B7 S4 with a 40 ET and a 10mm spacer in front, 12mm in the back. The car isn't lowered and the rear looks great, but the front is right at the edge of the fender and would look a lot better lowered, but then rubbing would probably be an issue.

    ET 30 in the front is going to poke out a couple MMs.

    Those multi-spoke wheels arent as sporty, so I think having them poke out wont look very good. What did you guys think of them on the B7?

    Thanks for the feedback and info.
