D4 S8 21 inch Rotors on S5

[PulseS5]

I have searched high and low not only on this forum but also the internet in general. I cant seem to find any info on if these wheels will fit. I had planed to just do 20 inch RS5 wheels, but i have come across a great deal on 21 inch D4/S8 rotors, and I am trying to figure out if they fit before pulling the trigger. Any feed back would be awesome.

21" D4 S8 Rotors - 21x9 et35

Should fit with no problems.

[Sgibb16]

Did some research looks like they are 21" x 9" ET 35. They will fit but you will probably want to run spacers like 20-25mm.


Edit: Keep in mind 21" are really big on this car and some people aren't into it see thread below.

the s8 rotors are not a good look for the s5 imo. too big and lack the concavity on the s5 rotors.

Yep, profile is weak. You'd want 10mm spacers for a decent look. 15/20 for a nice look on 275.

Thats weeeeaaaaaak. et 35 on a 9" wheel is 24 mm less than a 10.5 et 30 which is what I always base fitments on when I am looking at wheels/offsets.

Yep, I was saying if you want the look of RS rotors on say an S5 without spacers, that would do it.

The 10.5 fits require stretch so its a bit different. Is this person ran 15/20, this would be the look. And this is on 255, not 275. You must calc in that 275 tire, or whatever they choose, unless they are going to do some BS like 245 on a 9 which is silly IMO for this application. This would be a 265+ square look. OP, on a 255, you could squeeze 20/25 with no worries of rub.

To run a 21 on an S5 is gonna require a pretty thin sidewall. I'd not recommend. The RS you can get away with more but the A/S can't really do it and still be "proper"
