    Wheel upgrade question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi all! Does anyone know if Audi OEM A5 wheels will fit on my 2011 B8 A4 without rubbing or extending outside the fender? The specs on the wheels are 18x8.5 5x112 29 offset with 245/40 tires. My A4 is on standard suspension but I am planning to upgrade to the stock sport suspension soon.

    I'm having difficulty finding the answer to this. Has anyone tried this setup with success? Thanks!

    should fit just fine, you wont have any rubbing even if you were low. the fronts should be flush and the rear will be close to flush, but yeah you'll be fine.

    for reference, the S4 wheel size is 8.5 width and et43 offset, so this one will extend out 14mm more than the S4 one.

    use this site to calculate if you need: http://1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

    Thanks Zach. I love the look of those S5 wheels on yours, nicely done! I'm currently dealing with those same 17s that's yours started with :(
