Need you opinion on wheel size:

**croman54321** · 08-21-2008 05:57 PM

I'm looking to buy the vmr 708 rs4 reps but I can't seem to decide what size, either 18" or 19"...anyone installed these in 19's without any problems?...pics maybe?

I have a set of 19" B7 RS4 reps that were on my B7 A4, and won't put them on my B5 because they won't look right on the older car.

Check out S4wheelgallery.com and you'll see what I mean. If you like the look, I'll make a smokin' deal on them, though.

Personally, I think B5's are best with 18's and styles like B5 RS4, DTM RS4, Sportec, LM's, CH's, anything that is from that generation/era. B7 wheels looks like you are trying too hard to update the car, which is a classic. Let it age gracefully.

Idk...I kinda like the look of the onyx black b7 rs4....I was debating between the b5 rs4 reps but I seen em in person the other day and didnt really like them....what color wheels do you have?...pm with the price.

As far as comfort goes, I switched from 19's to 18's and the 18's ride alot better. .02

19s for looks, 18s for handling. I run 19" BBS CHs and they look awesome, 235/35/19 tyres, no worries.

18" and 19" fit no problem at stock ride height and will not have rubbing issues if you run the correct sized tire. We do these packages all the time to stock ride height vehicles and it still looks great. You cant really beat the rs4 style look. If your looking to save some money on tires or scared of the pot holes i would recommend the 18". We do wheel/tire packages here at VMR, so if you are looking for something, dont hesitate to email me at [email protected]

Thanks,

Ran the same size of tire and rolled fenders, no rubbing

Running 19x8 R8 replicas on 225/35 Kuhmo Ecsta SPT. They look and drive fantastic but the roads around my part of town are horrible and its a huge difference from the stock wheel setup. But they look great!

You need to post some pics! I am contemplating this wheel, but I haven't seen the 19" reps on a B5 S4
