I have a line on some factory RS4 wheels with 235/45/17 winter tires. I know these aren't the std fitment but will they be a poor fit? I'm thinking the offset is off by 10mm and the tire is slightly wider too. Thanks.

I didn't think factory OEM RS4 wheels came in 17"?

Neither did I but that is what the ad is claiming. I have heard that the aftermarket wheels are only available in 18".

Here is the pic. He even calls up the tire size and offset so I'm thinking they are 17's.

What is the wheel width and offset? Stock rims are 17x7.5 +52. I have RS4 replicas in 17x7.5 +42 and running 225/45R17. It appears you have the same wheels as mine. I purchased the wheels from finishlinewheels.

I didn't buy the wheels. So you are saying that the 42 offset works ok? Thks.
