18x8 MSW with 225 / 45 / 18 Yokohama Ice Guard tires, B8 S4 fitment for winter

[Mike Panic]

Bought new last year from local shop, this is a perfect fitment for a B8 S4 or similar cars. If I were to put an honest guess on the mileage, it is probably less than 2k miles, due to the very short winter we had (just one snow storm).

Wheels show zero signs of wear (just a tad dirty from sitting since March in the garage) and the tread shows virtually no wear.

$750, Allentown, PA, will not ship.

No one is looking for snows?

Would you be willing to sell just the tires? And ship?

Sorry for the late reply, I never seem to get notifications when people reply to threads here.

No, sorry, It's not worth spending the money to split the tires then slap stickers on them and ship, then be left with a set of wheels for a car I likely won't have much longer.

New end of winter hello spring and I no longer own an S4 price bump.

They will fit but you should buy a set of hub-centric rings like these http://amzn.to/2ySvEd8 for $12

are you sure? i've spent the past 3 months looking for 18s that fit over RS4 brakes and i have to say the inner diameter of these rims looks tight for the 365mm rotors

Upon looking deeper into this for you, it would appear Tire Rack suggest BBS CH and similar wheels and states that 12mm spacers are needed (on BBS wheels) for brake clearance, along with longer bolts.

The backspacing on the suggested BBS CH wheels is 6.06" with a 35mm offset
The backspacing on my MSW wheels is 5.91" with a 35mm offset. This leads me to believe you may need to run a slightly chubbier spacer, but either way if you're running non-OEM wheels you're going to need spacers.

You can either call Tire Rack and ask them directly or come try one of the wheels on to see how it fits.

To be honest I haven't found the biggest issue w fitting BBKs into 18s to be backspacing or clearance from face of caliper to back of the rim (that can generally be fixed with a spacer). But instead it's been radial clearance - space between outermost point of rotor / caliper and inner perimeter of the rim. As far as I can tell there's no uniform standard for measuring that and (like you said) you just have to test out the rim or know someone for whom it worked.
