Will these wheels fit?

[Duby T]

I want an aggressive look, but I have no idea if these will work. The car will obviously be lowered.

20 x 9.5 HRE 546R
Fronts are 36 offset
Rear are 24 offset

Thanks

[MrFunk]

So 20's will fit fine,

But the offset will be SUPER agressive.

Compared to the stock 19's which are 8.5 et43:
The front will extend out an additional 20mm
The back will extend out an additional 32mm

Hard to say - but I think you may have rubbing issues

[Duby T]

The plan was to run some aggresively stretched tires, but if the wheels poke out of the fenders signifcantly, I won't bother with these wheels.

[MrFunk]

Hm... Have you lowered the car yet?

[Mr. Rabboto]

The fronts would work, rears might but you would probably need a lot of stretch at which point you may as well have got an A4. Plus, you couldn't easily rotate them, so you'd be going through tires.

Just curious - why would he may as well have gotten an A4? Wider Fenders or something?

[Mr. Rabboto]

Actually, I was being sarcastic. Why by an S4 and then put a whacked out staggered/stretch combo that defeats the purpose of having an S4.

[MrFunk]

lol, got ya!

That is a good question - there are a lot of people who like to do a lot of mods to cars that some of us may not find tasteful but to each his own right?

[Mr. Rabboto]

Without a doubt, but it sounds like he's asking for help and I gave him my opinion. I've had plenty of cars that were form over function but in the case of the S4, it's such a good car, to put a nonfunctional wheel tire combo doesn't make much sense unless you want the performance to suffer.

[Duby T]

I appreciate the help and opinions guys.

To be honest, I don't buy my cars specifically for performance unlike some of you (which is cool). To me, the S4 is much more than performance. I love the interior and looks. In comparison, these two things made me choose it over the BMW 335.

I don't track my cars and I don't race my cars. Why get an S4 you ask? Well, I like to have the power for city driving and highway driving (for passing and off ramps). The S4 has everything I want.

Anyway....what are your thoughts on this setup?

20"bbs RSGT wheels
5x112 bolt pattern
Fronts 8.5" 38offset
Rears 9" 36offset

Is this do-able?

[Duby T]

The BBS were on a B6 S4 if that helps

Abosolutely those will fit! You'll be just fine with no mods needed...

And I'm the same - I don't track my car or race - I just drive spirited and enjoy the comfort, refinement, snow capability, sound system and style of the S4. It is a full package. If I only wanted pure driving performance I'd buy an Ariel Atom! Maybe I still will!!!

[Mr. Rabboto]

That will fit, but you won't have much of a staggered look, more of a spaced out rear - I believe the lips of those two sizes are exactly the same on the RS GT and once again you won't be able to rotate your tires.

If the wheels came from a B6 S4, you may need to bore out the center hubs to 66.6mm, unless the wheels already have hub centric adapter rings, in which case you will need check the hub diameter without the rings.

The B6 S4 hub inside diameter is probably 57.1mm.

[Mr. Rabboto]

Good point, they are 57.1 but the RS GT's do use hub-centric rings so you could probably get the correct ones if the center bore isn't correct without them.

[1_clean_jetta]

Before anything always remember that our cars have a 66.6 hub size so you cant use any wheels from a B7 B6 B5 and so on unless you do some type of "down-conversion" go from 66.6 to 57.1..

factory OEM size for 19 is 19x8.5 with a ET of 43..soo

you can run et of 35 33...

me for example im running 19x9 with a et of 28..they would sit flush with the fenders but the neg camber dosnt help it(im too low)..

i think you would be fine with teh et up front but the 24 im not too sure..member the fenders in the back dont stick out as much as the fronts do.

here a pic of my car to give you a better example.



Hope this helps.

Thats beautiful.

[Mr. Rabboto]

Like I said before, many wheel companies have interchangeable hubcentric rings for different fitments, therefore, you can use them on B6, B7, B8 as long as you get the proper ring.
