No worries, MOPS! We're all human haha. Would you kind finding out about the caps for me?

And any opinion on durability of Rohana vs. BC Forged?

Indeed haha! Sure thing. I'll hit up my guy at Rohana right now.

The BC Forged wheel will be marginally stronger, and a bit lighter too, and you can select the exact spec you want, but they cost about $1,300 more too. You'd likely not realize the weight savings nor the added strength, but I'm certainly a fan of BC wheels.

I'll report back. 👍🏼

RS-5hadow.....here is the Rohana RFX2's on a B9 S5 for reference. I realize the fitment is a little different for the RS's but these are 20x10 with a 30 offset

Per Rohana - Our caps are the standard Mercedes cap size which is 2 ¾”.

Thank you, Mops! So another question: You said the best would be the 20x10 with 285/30/20 ET 33 and then my 10 mm spacers for the front and then a set of 12 mm spacers for the rear. Now, what can we do about tire balancing and rotation services? Since you did say without spacers, I won't be able to clear my front calipers (I have the dynamic plus package with front ceramic brakes). Because I've heard Discount Tire won't touch any car with spacers on it. And I still go to them since I have the tire certificates for road hazard warranty/patch/replacement etc.

Appreciate all the awesome responses and help!

Certainly! And yea, I feel that combo will yield exactly what you're after. I feel most DT stores will be fine with spacers. They're so common. Hell, BBS, Porsche and Ferrari offer spacers for their wheels. Worst case, you can install the spacers at home. But I cannot imagine your local DT store will give you any trouble.

Sweet set of BC Forged TD03 in 19x9.5 going on a Glacier RS5 SB very soon. Quite excited to see these mounted up, as I plan to run a set on one of my B9s.

Anyone know what wheel this is?

Both are very close to 28 pounds. The CI-R is a bit less, and the FF11 a bit more.

I enjoy my summer setup and overall fitment is good. ""PS if anyone has or knows of a EMD or RS Style grill for sale at a decent price I am interested. Brushed Stainless or Black, no front camera provision if possible""

That spec isn't great for the B9 5. 20x10 ET25 can poke out from the body. But if lowered and you go with 265/30 instead of the normal 275/30, you'd be fine. Here is 20x9 ET25 -

I think these are 10x19" ET25. Seems to poke out a little, but as you said lowering should make it work

Looks sweet! I support it for sure 😋 I just have to be careful what I recommend when posting on a public forum. Do you know if that is 265/35 or 275/35?

What bumper cover is that?

I found the pic with google image search so unfortunately I don't have any additional information available But after a couple more google searches I believe the bumber is at least sold by "Division Euro Kit". This was also on that facebook-page

Interesting. Looks pretty solid!

I was going to point out those are the 20x10 ET25 CI-R, but I am not sure they're genuine BBS.

Hey Mops! So what is the most flush offset in a 20x10 that will work on stock height for my 2019 RS5 Sportback with the front OEM carbon ceramic brakes (will clear it) and still offer the max concavity? I'm looking into BC Forged as well as the Niche M203 Vosso. What do you think in terms of specs I need for either to run 285/30/20? I like the Rohana RFX11 we discussed previously but want to do away with spacers if possible while still maximizing concavity but clearing my front calipers and being as flush as possible with no rubbing/fitment issues.

Many thanks in advance!

Hello sir! I would say spot-on fitment would be 20x10 ET20. And that is going to be tough spec to find in a standard off of the shelf fitment. I really think BC is the way to go in order to get exactly what you're after.

Hope that helps!

[Mdrobc1213]

Finally got mine updated and mounted. Here ya go! Before and After!

[jpas4]

BC Forged EH309 20x10 ET22 + 5mm -> ET17 (only on the rear; fronts are ET22)
Tires are factory 275s








These next two are ET22 all around, before the spacers were put on:

Props to you sir, thanks for the hookup. Make sure to keep an eye out for a set of wheels with that deeeep concave for me. 20x10 seems pretty good, but I kinda want to push the limits a little more, like in the ET15 range??
Spring is just around the corner after all.

Those look awesome! I'm looking at a set as well in black for my RS5 Sportback. Are there any issues with rubbing in the front and or back? I'm debating between the ET 22 for the front or ET 20 but with 285/30/20 tires. Do you think there is enough clearance for that setup or will it rub? I'm on stock everything and have no plans to lower or change springs. And what bolts did you get? (Length, brand etc)
Many thanks in advance

We could always build another set of BCF, and shoot for a model that will yield more concave, even with the same specs. And then go to ~ET15 for moar concave. I bet you can get another 12mm of concave with the right wheel.

Let's ask the expert... @jimminez@nemesis Stock height, 275/30, 20x10... John can easily go ET15, right? Seems like you went there with 285.

If staying with 275 and stock height, I'd say he could do ET15 but the front will always limit. One option is to do different profiles front and rear so rear is much more concave but does prevent rotating front to back.

I haven't had any issues with rubbing, even with the addition of the 5mm spacers on the rear. Honestly the guys at Nemesis are the fitment experts and they made the whole purchase process seamless.
According to them, at ET22, 285s will work. We had discussed going ET20 but I opted for ET22 specifically for when I get new tires, which were likely to be 285s.
I'm using the factory bolts because Mops/Martin had the wheels made to be that way.

What about putting 18x9.5 ET25 wheels with 275/40ZR18 or 265/40ZR18 tires on a 2019 RS5 SB (minus 2 fitment)

Current wheels are: 20x9 ET22 wheels with 275/30ZR20 tires (Black Machined Audi 8W0601025DT)

I guess the main issue is determining if the barrel of the wheel to be large enough to handle the front brake calipers?

I think someone has tried 18” on their RS5 but not 100% sure. Width and offset with 275 is good though. I run 275/35R19 in 19x9.5” ET25 with 8mm spacers.

It seems like there is more 1.17" clearance (O.D. of a 7/8" socket) between the barrel of the stock 20" wheel & the calipers.

Are 8mm spacers used just to make the tire flush with the fender well or just to clear the suspension components?

The 8mm are to make them flush. The Neuspeed RSe102 clear with no issues (both brakes and suspension). So there should be no issue with your set, at least with respect to the suspension.

Not all wheels have the same inner barrel profile. Some will have a step that help with strength that decrease the inner diameter.

This is off another forum where 18” were installed.

Well that looks pretty good, thanks.

There is a BBS SR, 18x9, ET21, 5x112, 66mm CB wheel that may fit with 265/40R18 or 275/40R18 tires.

Not sure if you're on here, but love the non-traditional winter setup! Spotted in downtown Breck yesterday:

[Dan Halen]

I'm looking at two options for my S5 SB- a 20x9 et25, and a 20x9.5 et40. Am I correct in assuming that a 12mm spacer (or thereabouts) will get me where I need to be on the wider wheel?

[JWreck]

Anyone running bronze or gold wheels on an RS5 SB? I’m thinking about how they’d look in my Nardo SB. The 2020 bronze wheels intrigue me...
