wheel fitment question

[romell]

an rs4 wheel with a +42 offset.. how would that fit on our cars? would it be stupid.. or would it be ok.. would it clear b5s4 break etc etc.. or no. i thought the 40 something offsets were for a3 and etc.. someone let me know. thanks.

I run 18x8.5 ET43 wheels, so no offset in the 40s is not stupid.

[romell]

so +42 ofset would look lik ehwat.. can u show me a pic on a b6

[romell]

but ur sig says 35.

[pondside36]

It is going to be set in by 7mm from say the normal 35 of a 8.5" wide wheel that sits all most flush... I would think it would look better with spacers to bring you to at least 35.. just my .02

but ur sig says 35.

I have 2 sets of summer wheels and I'm too lazy to change the avatar or sig.

18x8.5 ET43 255/35/18



18x8.5 ET35 235/40/18



The lower the ET measument the more wheels stick out.

As for B5 S4 brake clearance, much has to do with the spoke design. Not sure if the proposed reps will fit.

meh.. i like the loer offset better. looks cooler poking out alittle.

If you like poke, then i would go with a +35 offset and a nice wide tire.

et 42 will look like a stock USP. Factory offset on those are et 43
