Can RS4 wheels fit straight on my A4

[Bryden Leask]

I have a 2000 (W) Audi A4 1.9 TDI 115 SE

Can 18" RS4 wheels fit straight on? its 225/40/18s i think, and the car has standard suspension!

Am i correct in saying that i need 5x112 centers and 35-45 offset

Any help would be much appreated

Cheers Bryden

Yes these will go on. Check the factory offset for the 18s on the A4 if you want exact Offset (dont know it myself)

Look here http://www.wheel-base.co.uk/proddeta...RS4%2DStyle%2E for info, plus there is a place to ask your question to the supplier.

Without insulting your intelligence, 5x112 is the stud pattern and the Offset is how far they will stick out in the arches.

Check out the black A4 with the said wheels http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3193033

Genuine rs4 alloys wont fit as they are different offset. Replicas will fit well. Keep the offset between 35 and 45 and you will be ok. Too high will be tucked in too much inside the arches and too low they will stick out too far. I had 18"x 8.5" wide rial daytona race on me old a4 and ET45 offset. Also had 18"x 8" ET35 rs4 replica as winter wheels and they were looking really sharp.

I think I am correct in my previous reply, as Genuine RS4 alloys only came in 19s. It was then clear that replicas were implied in the question.

They came in 17"(!) and18" flavours on the audi TT 225 and some a3. They were the wrong offset and are multifit(made by Ronal) but have different part number to the genuine Rs4's... I was not implying that you were wrong, just making it clear. However, genuine RS4 alloys sell for much money and punters allways like cheap wheels, hence the replica's being available. There are also lots off replicas being passed as genuine...dont you just love the chinese ?

Thats cool..... I have 19s on my A6 which are factory, correct offset etc. They still dont look as good as the genuine RS4 ones as they arnt as wide and the spokes dont bend as much as on the RS4.

I bought after market RS4 18s for my MkV R32 and they stuck out too much and looked a bit naff if Im honest. Perhaps ifit had been lowered a bit more it would of looked OK!

Genuine RS4 wheels were 18" but the offset is totally different as the RS4 had those bespoke arches to fill!
