    B5 S4 w/ B6 S4 wheels

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just bought B6 S4 18" wheels with 45 offset for my B5 S4 that had the 17" wheels with 45 offset. What size spacers am I going to need so they don't rub on the control arms?

    Rubbing on the control arm probably wouldn't be the problem. The spokes clearing the large B4S4 brakes will be... But im not sure about oem, i could be wrong.

    I don;t have specs on the OE wheels either, sorry ! We normally do ET35, so they may be close.

    Re: B5 S4 w/ B6 S4 wheels

    Well I already tried putting one on, it it does hit on the control arm inside. The brakes aren't a problem since these are wheels from a newer model of my car and have larger brakes I believe. If there is a difference of 1/2 inch on the wheel with the same offset would I get 15mm spacers?

    fixn2xlr8 has them on his b5 and said all he needed was 5mm spacers and longer bolts.

    IIRC the B6 calipers are only bigger in length to the b5 brakes, as the b5 s4 brakes are wider/thicker then the B6s.
