BBS CH's for my Audi B5 S4 - Tire Set up?

[Motzek]

I'm considering on getting some 18" x 8.5" BBS CH's for my Audi B5 S4.

What size/brand tires would you recommend? I'm thinking 35's, but not 100% sure? Any wheel spacers, hardware, etc you'd recommend?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

I had bbs ch's on my s4 and I was running 215/40/18 it was a little streched this is a pic of them on my friends s4 if it helps

225/40/18s look best with 18X8.5 wheels in my opinion. Plus they are the same rolling diameter as what the car came stock with.

Looking good! I've been hearing a lot of people been doing 35 series tires? Why would anyone do that if the 40's work better.. seems like 40's would be the best ride eh?

35 is a pretty skinny sidewall... i prefer the comfort and good looks of the 40.

That's what I'm thinking.. Thanks for the feedback!

I think 40s are a lot better too and fit well when lowered

Is anyone running wheel spacers on 8.5" wide CH's? seems like it's not needed right?

Nice, and how wide are your wheels? Are you running 8.5" wide? or 8's? do you have any more pics? Also, 5mm all around? all 4 wheels?

[Motzek]

I'm really damn hyped on how this looks. I feel that only the rear need a slight push, the fronts look alright to me. Maybe a 5mm or even 3mm spacer in the front?:





Interested to get some opinions.

[Motzek]

Anyone?

[BlkdoutS4]

Anyone?

Its pretty hard to tell from the pics but ya sure go with a 3mm or 5mm spacer... it wont make a huge difference.
