I have the same question but with the audi cos. Et43

[ThirdStrike]

think about it.
stock et = 35
you want to go 43 or 45... this means youre going to add 8mm to your total et.
no it will not work.
get some 10 mil spacers and it will work.
or go hard and get some 15/20 mil spacers and have a total offset of 45-20=25 total et.
stretch them tires and lower your coils

Go with 32 offset

[OldYella]

Stock ET is 45. I vote, maybe.

[Muck_and_Grind]

my wheels say et45. their stock

[haus4]

just checked the spare in my basement, stock et is 45

[JDM EJ1 95]

all wheels are made diff.. just because one wheel fits that has a 45et.. doesnt mean another with the same ET will..



damn people

my bad. i been around mk4&3 volkswagens too long.
if stock is 45 then yes a 45 should fit. but dude is right wheels are made differently so it could touch the caliper.
if you go a lower et u will be fine

Not nessesarily, depends on the inside prfile of the wheels. Not all ET35 wheels are going to fit over the HP2 calipers. With that being said most if not all BBS wheels with a 17"+ diameter and a 5X112 bolt pattern work on the B5 S4.

CK is too heavy, skip that wheel please

I bought a set of these a while ago and it was a no go with the stock calipers unless I used spacers. I also corresponded with a member who needed spacers to make it work. You may want to shoot RyansA4 (sp?) [IBG on AW] a PM to confirm as I believe he just mounted CO's on his avant.

As for the OP, I think you may need spacers to make it work. I checked the BBS Usa website and the CKs they showed for our cars had an offset of 35. That said, I agree with Thirdstrike and think a 5mm spacer should do it.

[D.C. Designs]

you will for sure need spacers because we just had a client in a avant with the same wheels asking why hes BBS did fit. Because it was a no go w/o spacers
