The new B8 chassis Audi A4 had required us to make a few changes to the Hartmann Wheel line-up due to the new wheel hub center-bore size of 66.6mm from the previous 57.1mm. Achtuning is happy to announce the availability of the following wheel styles for B8 Audi A4 fitment.

Hartmann AR8 Wheel:
▫ 18x8, 32mm offset - List price: $265.00 ea.
▫ 19x8.5, 38mm offset - List price: $285.00 ea.

Hartmann RS4-252B Wheel:
▫ 18x8, 32mm offset - List price: $265.00 ea.

Are these machined to 66.6mm to make them fit on the B8s, or are manufactured from day one as 66.6mm? if they are machined, are they fully approved and tested for all load bearing, TUV, DOT, etc etc etc.???

thx

We order them in either center bore from the factory. Both have been TUV approved.

understood that you order from the factory in both bores, but did the factory just take their stock of B7 wheels and bore/machine them to fit a B8??
last I recall when calling Hartmann was that they were not planning on making B8 casted wheels in the RS4 style; they were planning to just machine the B7 stock they had left to satisfy B8 customers.....Which worries me about safety and integrity of bored-out wheels....like cracks, etc..... i'm very interested, just concerned...hope you can address this. thanks!

When I say we order them in either center bore from the factory, it means the factory is manufacturing wheels in both a 66.6 and 57.1 center bore for us. And when I say "us", I mean Hartmann Wheels and Achtuning - we are one and the same. ;)

I want to know 8Jx18" ET32 with 225/45/18 is it fitted on lower sping (30-40mm)?

**Dion@Achtuning** · 12-16-2008 11:14 AM

On an 18x8, I'd actually recommend a 245/40-18 even if you're considering lowering your A4.

Are you guys going to be doing 19" RS6 reps? (unfortunately the s-line or 19" sports is not offered in Canada with a 2.0, so no way to get OEM without ordering a $eparate $et).

Both our Hartmann RS6-172 Wheel in 19x8, et35 and Hartmann RS6-204s in 19x8.5, et38 can be made to the proper center bore with a few week turn-around from when your order is placed.
