    Need help ASAP: Car totaled =[ Will a4 swing wheels clear s4 calipers?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My car is sitting in a lot and the insurance company said I can pull my LM's off. Is there any way to make the stock A4 swing wheels clear the s4 calipers? Basically, I just need a quick solution so the car has something to roll on. Thanks.

    I don't know, but I would be beyond pissed if my friend pulled a jack ass move and totaled my car. Time to fine a stg 3 car.

    Sorry to hear the news, SoCal needs more B5s as it is.


    On a side note, interested in parting with those LMs? good luck on your next car.

    They wont clear the front, only the back. go to a tire shop and ask the id they have a rim that will fit. if you cant do that, take the front calipers of so that the a4 wheels can fit.

    i might be selling my As4 swap.

    Depends if there going to be watching you...if there not just take off the front calipers and throw on some swing wheels they'll def fit with out the calipers.Should take you all of 5 min to unbolt the front calipers

    remember for junk wheels that 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels will fit too. so old mustang wheels, and most import wheels will bolt up just to have it roll
