What offset ET, would you use ???

[nymk41.8t]

I have a 2005 B6 S4 stock suspension. I am looking into rims for the spring/summer coming up and have found 2 sets of rims that im trying to decide on. One set Is 20x8.5 black with fully polished 2" lip and come in offsets (ET) 35 and 38. The other set is fully chrome 20x8.5 and only come in offset (ET) 32. I have a nogaro blue S4. Please give me some opinions as to what you feel would look and fit the best. One option i was thinking of doing was getting the black with polished lip and possibly having the lips custom color matched to the blue of my S4. Please give me some insight on what offsets you guys are running or what would look best and fit best as well as any opinion you have on which color rims



thanks in advance

You'll be fine with either offset. 38 will tuck a little more (6mm) and et32 will sit about flush with the outside of the fender.

^^^ a +32 is pretty much the most aggressive that you're gonna be able to use. A +38 will site real nice shod with a 245.

So the lower the size of offset, the further the wheel sits outside of the wheel well??

[Todeshandler]

Correct. This might help you.

Careful if you plan on lowering. I have 8.5 wheels with 35 ET (235 tires) and the rear rubbed on occasion when loaded and height set slightly above 25". If it were me, I'd go the Raudi's suggestion and get the higher offset and 245 tire ...

Some 20's look good (IMO better on Avants) but the larger diameter/ heavier weight will be a detriment to your handling and accelleration.

any one have a insight on color ??? im deciding between the 20"s which are seven double spoke with lip and the 19's are the black SLR mercedes rims (turbines) with polished lip

either will make your stock suspension look worse than it already does (aka subaru outback). 19's bad, 20's worse. as for which color, i'm not a fan of chrome or black wheels so it's really what you like. not too many audi guys color match other than white or black. seems to be more of a vw thing.

stay away from chrome!

I will be running BBS 19's with ET 35 on 235 or 245 this spring. Im most likely going to have to raise the height on my coil overs because i think im going to rub.

Then get smaller tires..

Then get smaller tires..

Going to raise my suspension a bit, my car is slammed as is right now and its such a pain to get it on the lift or jack it up.
