18 X 8 ET 35 OZ Futuras

**happy2B5** · 03-23-2010 12:26 PM

will these work on a B5 S4? Pretty sure spacers (10 mm) will be needed to clear front brakes and to even things out 15 mm out back.

final ET of 25 / 20 . Will this require rolling and or pulling with the factory set drop of Stasis SS?

Thank you very much for any help and insight. I really want to make these work, but don't think it will

All the OZ models we carry that fit S4 are ET35 with no spacer needed.....have you done a test fit or is that not possible ?

**happy2B5** · 03-23-2010 01:11 PM

nope, not possible. they are in NC and I am in CA. the seller has stated that he had them on a W8 Passat and needed to run spacers to clear the brakes (same as B5 S4). I just don't think I can pull them off w/o fender mods.

Yep, at ET20 you'll need to do some work for sure.........

Thanks for the input, Doc. Still waivering on my decision though.

If there is anyone else out there with first hand knowledge running these (OZ Futura 3-pc) please chime in

Don't have access to the wheel drawings anymore, sorry

**happy2B5** · 03-24-2010 01:09 PM

no worries. thanks for trying though. have not given up on them yet. might just be forced to do some fender mods. personally i like a more aggressive stance anyway

I'm confused why they wouldn't work. 18x8 et 35 is a pretty standard size for b5 a4/s4's...

I know, I got that. I'm saying, I don't see why you should need spacers because that size before spacers is pretty standard for B5's...

And before you just go out and buy spacers, use some washers and keep stacking them until you clear so you know what to get.

I follow. The Futuras are very flush or flat on the inside and have minimal if any curvature. The seller is going to take his Passat W8 (same Girling brakes as our cars) and show me photos of the brake clearance this weeked. I'll make my final decision from that point. Seller is actually including a set of 10 and 15 mm spacers in the deal anyway.

O ok, makes sense then. I'd go for it. Even if you have to roll a little up front I think it'd look even better nice and wide
