I can't even begin to comment on your post, even though you want help you could at least help us help you. You didn't provide measurements for the wheels.

[MOFSTEEL]

Turn the caps off and tell us what the offset is of your wheels.
We can recommend a spacer size that will be fitting to your application.

[Kyokio]

more info would be helpful.. size of wheels? 19 by what? 8.5? offset? bolt pattern?

what car were these wheels originally mounted on?

LOL... SAW THAT COMING FROM A MILE AWAY. I'M NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINE IN THE WHEELS AREAS. JUST DID NOT KNOW THE PROPER TERMINOLOGY. I JUST CALLED MY MECHANIC AND ASK HIM WHAT THE OFFSET OF THE WHEELS ARE. HE WILL TAKE THE MEASUREMENT FOR ME
AND I WILL REPOST. THIS IS GOOD NEWS THAN. SO THEY DO MAKE A SPACER FOR STUFF LIKE THIS. AND WHO SELLS THEM?

[...Mark...]

[Sharkfin]

Amen

Just look at the wheel for the measurements, width and offset are what we would need to help you.

[B18b1ex]

Funny shit.

[TN2004S4]

lmao...the wheels is 19 by 8.5. he is taking the wheels off now to get me the off set.

[Sharkfin]

ok, that's what you need

[TN2004S4]

[QUOTE=nsmith12;3247577]ok, that's what you need[/QUOTE

thanks... Hope you guys beat those Ravens bro. I live in Fairfax, but i work in the Baltimore areas.... Baltimore fans. ENOUGH SAID.

[Sharkfin]

Alright I have to give you some credit back, and yes Ravens fans are horrible

[TN2004S4]

hahahahaha. All my damn employees are Ravens fans. I have to deal with them everyday.

[TN2004S4]

Just in case. If the guy come back and told me that he doesn't know what the offset of the wheel is. for precautionary reason to save time, I can pick up one of the wheels and take to an NTB store. Will they be able to tell me what the offset to the wheels are. Or is it printed on wheel itself somewhere?

I know my RS4 reps came w/ the offset and size stamped on the inside of the rim spokes. One spoke had 5x112 another had 18X8. Did you look inside the rim?

[TN2004S4]

i don't have the wheels with me right now, but i will have it tonight. I'm pretty sure that the mechanic can figure it out. I'll check for those numbers anyhow. Thanks so much.

No that wouldn't help, you need to check the wheel. Its going to be between 30 and 45 in case he doesn't know what to look for.

[Sharkfin]

I just looked up the sellers listing and if that is the correctly set, the wheels have a 32et offset, while those can fit you might need a small 3-5mm spacer.

[40valve]

Sounds like you just need a hub ring. Or get a spacer that is hub/wheel centric.

ET32 is perfectly flush. If he puts a spacer he is going to poke and rub if lowered.
Im surprised the seller didnt supply the hub ring.

[Sharkfin]

Yeah my bad, I mean't he doesn't need it so he's got the wrong problem. It must be hub rings

[RAudi Driver]

That's not correct. A +32 offset is the absolute most aggressive offset that one can put on the S4 B6 and B7 body. So a +32 is the lowest that you can go with a +38 on an 8.5" width being the perfect size.

No spacer should be used.

But your problem isn't spacers, its hub rings and you can get those from the manufacturer for a few bucks. It's ana easy fix and the seller is not really responsible to supply these when he sells his wheels as he doesn't know what car they will be going on.

I know, that's why I corrected myself above. I was confused for a moment.

[Rodknock]

HE TOLD ME THAT SPINDLE OF MY CAR IS TOO SMALL FOR THE HOLE ON THE WHEELS. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A SPACER .

Sound to me like you need a hub centric ring.

[TN2004S4]

yep just stop by my shop. it is the hub ring that i need. i called ATB which is a tire distributor that we have an account with, and they don't have it in that size. the hub on the car is 1.25" and the one on the wheels is 2 13/16". The person at ATB suggest that I go to a custome wheel shop. If anyone knows where I can get my hands on this within the washington metropolitan area please let me know. thank you for all your help.

[TN2004S4]

That’s what I was thinking..

This is not why I was mad at him. On his add he had stated that the wheels was not bent or scratch. when I recieved the wheels, three of them were bent and they were all scratched up. that was the reason why i was so pissed. it has nothing to do with the fitment. I swallowed my lost for not doing the research about the seller on my end..... In any case, I appreciate all of your guys help so far and sorry for the confusion.

[Kyokio]

Definitely missed this quote. Does anybody knows the phone number to Iforged or the number to any of their distributors that is local within the Washington Metropolitan areas? I wonder if Tirerack carries these hub ring.

Thank you so much. It never fails. Everytime I need help on my car Audizine always come thru. Thank you again peeps. Will keep you guys posted on when everything is done.

[TN2004S4]

just called iforged and they carry the hub ring at the same price as 1010tires. The rings should be at my front door in 4-5days from today.

Since you already own the wheels then check out wheelsamerica.com They can redo your wheels for $130 a pop. I had my S4 Avus' redone and they looked like they were new. You can see pics of them on my Avant in my photo gallery.

I did have them redone and they do look like new now. I saw the ad that addicted2speed had posted on the wheels and I like it, but once I received the wheels they don't look anything like the picture that he had posted. Anyhow, thanks for your advice.

[TN2004S4]

updates..... The hub rings are mounted and the wheels are in. There is a slight vibration at about 110mph. I think I need a high speed ballance. Anyone knows any shop around the washington metropolitan area that does this. Thanks for all your help so far guys.

[SuperAvant]

How often do you travel at 110 mph?

[d.p]

How often do you travel at 110 mph?

L-o-fucking-L. Come on dude you don't drive 110 all day everyday?

[serumk]

LOL

[EYE4SPEED]

We do have a feedback forum. You should always check that before buying...

Glad you got it to work out - we have a place in Michigan called Belle Tire. I bought plastic rings for $8.50, a lot less than the $15 at Discount Tire. Just in case anyone else needs any.

Only through school zones... other than that I have this WICKED annoying vibe at 147. Still trying to source the problem.
