I think you'd be ok in the rear, but the front would probably rub. The only reason I say this is because currently my front ET is 32.5 and is pretty damn flush--I think another 7.5mm would definitely make them rub, but I could be wrong. Is there a reason you wouldn't opt for the ET38 and run spacers if needed??

I wanna be hellaflush. not a fan of spacers love the flush look..

Totally understand. I think your best bet would be to give Achtuning a call and get their take on it--great bunch of guys up there. Either that or shoot Skyler@Achtuning a pm. He is always been helpful when it comes to their products. I'd just hate to see you order them and have them rub like hell.

That's why I have one of these in my garage... just take your time... this plus the right alignment and it might work

Going by this car (9.5 +33) you should be close if not ok up front:

8.5" ET25 on a B6 is going to be poke, I'm pretty sure.

that's not a b7 or b6 though. i'm pretty sure ET25 is going to be a lot of poke. Stock RS4 wheels are 19x9 ET29, and those poke a bit all around on a n S4.

Do you have pics of the 19x9.5 +29's on an S4? That's one of the exact sizes I'm looking at for my avant...

[Skyler@Achtuning]

I think on 18x8.5" ET25 you'd have to have some stretch in the front to not rub, maybe a 215. In our experience the max offset on a 8.5" that can be run with a 235 in the front is et32 and you want to remove the fender screw and trim the tab with that setup.

OEM B7 RS4 wheels are 9" wide, not 9.5" wide. Plus, ET29 9" wide sits 9mm further out than ET25 8.5" wide.

I do agree though that ET25 8.5" wide will poke past the fender.

Is that with or without rolling the fender? Thanks for the input!

ET29 9" wide sits 9mm further out than ET25 8.5" wide.

~2mm actually, you lose ~6mm with the width change but gain 4mm with the offset :)

Without, there's not much to roll on the B6's, it's possible to pull the fenders but that's a bit more involved. The B6/7 does not have the intrusive fender lips like the B5s did, they are almost pre-polled from the factory.

:) We stock a lot of product for just such an occasion, we can't always have every item in stock but generally orders are on their way within 2 business days as long as the item is in a warehouse somewhere in North America.

Great! Yeah if you could get me a price on 18x8.5 ET38 for front and 18x8.5 ET25 for rear with tires mounted and balanced shipped to NY it would be much appreciated. PM me.

[Cargo8]

Correct. Sorry for the misinformation, I accidentally did my calculations with an 8" wide wheel.
