    Will B7 RS4 Rims fit on a B5 A4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I found a set of B7 RS4 gunmetal reps for a good price and I'm thinking about picking them up and was wondering if they would fit on my 01 B5 A4. I've seen a lot posts either praising the ease of installing them and an equal amount of posts saying that they will never work.

    For my believers what tire combo would you recommend, and 225/40, 235/35, 235/45?

    Rim Specifications
    Size: 19x9
    Offset: ET 41
    Bolt: 5x112

    For some reason I feel like B5 S4 guys will have more examples of fitting 19's on the B5 chassis. Here's a thread with some examples:

    - I think you'll want 225/35/19 or 235/35/19. I'm pretty sure 225/40/19 will be too tall. That's over an inch taller than stock.
    - The ET 41 offset is a good move to get these to fit. Gives you room to add spacers to adjust fitment as needed. You might need some in the rear.
    - You will probably need to roll your front fenders slightly.

    Note: I have 18x8's ET30 with 225/40/18 on one of my B5's. I don't have any experience bolting 19's to literally anything.

    Thank you for the info, I was thinking that it was probably gonna be a must at 19" to roll the front fenders.

    Hub size for B7 is same 57.1mm as was used on B6 and B5 but note that B8 and later (while sharing same 5x112mm BCD) use larger hub diameter of 66.56mm so will not seat on the B5 hubs properly unless you add hubcentric adapter rings to the rims to reduce the rim ID.
