Will these winters fit my s4?

[CowtownSteve]

Tires are 225/45-18 Dunlop Wintersport M3, approx 90% life left!
Wheels are Audi S4 replicas 18x8.5 ET25 5x112 Silver
Package includes tire pressure monitors (TPMS) for the S4


What do you think?
Will I have any issues?

Not sure et25 is gonna work...

[Denis54]

Do they have a centerbore of 57.1 or 66.6? The B8 S4 uses wheels with a centerbore of 66.6 but my understanding is that previous generations used 57.1.

8.5 inch wheels with et 25 will stick out 3/4 inch more than the stock 19 inch wheels.

Et 28 is the lowest I would ever run in the front on an 8.5 inch wheel, and that's with modification to fenders and running thin ass rubber band tires. These will not work, and like said above I don't think the bore is correct.

et32 and up is usually what works in the front on an 8.5 inch wheel.

That might just fit, but running a stretched snow tire that flush to the bodywork is an epik fail. That is huge aggressive for a summer setup...no way I'd do that in winter.

We have seen 225s on et30.5 8.5" and it had a wee bit of room for some more. 5.5et extra might fit, but it would be close.

ok thanks for the advice, I found that set of kijiji and was curious. I'll keep looking

[tackdriver]

what does et mean anyway?

[dkky996]

^ et is German prefix for wheel offset.
