    Which wheel spacer do i need?

    Well i wanted to switch my vsr rims from my A4 to the S4.. unfortunately the rims are +35 offset which is a good offset for the A4.. but the S4 brakes dont make it work. I am looking at ECS tuning right now and they sell different size spacers. Which would enable me to clear my brakes and not stick out of the fender well. The +35mm offset looks SWEET on the A4 and i am trying to get close to that.

    Thanks.

    The S4 front brakes need 35mm offset wheels to clear, S4 Avus wheels are 35mm offset. I had 35mm offset wheels on my A4 w/ S4 brakes, though because of the design on the wheels I needed a 2mm spacer.

    Well when i tried to put the rims on the car they wouldnt go flush all the way with the hub. It was slight, but enough for the spokes to touch the caliper. ECS sells so many sized i dont know which to get. i dont know if the 4mm one would do it, or if it barely clears. I just dont want to order the wrong ones and have to send em back .

    Get a 10mm spacer and be safe about it. It will widen the stance of the wheels a bit too and look better.
