All:

I've searched the forum and wasn't able to find this topic but I am sure there is already a topic on this so I apologize in advance for the redundancy.

Does anyone know if 17mm spacers will fit a 2011 S4 sock 19" rims?
Also, does anyone know the size of the OEM lugs for this vehicle? I am guessing 28mm.

Thanks in advance.

They'll fit but poke in a big way - I'll assume you're looking for a flush fitment?

an effective offset of et32 is a pretty flush offset for the b8 - the stock 19s are et43. There's videos on YouTube that talk about spacers on the 18s and 19s (at work and can't view youtube from here to find them for you) and IIRC the recommendation for the stock 19s was 5mm front, 10mm rear.

Here's the one for the 18s (from AZ) - might help you find the 19 video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6npk...=youtube_gdata

Lugs: not sure, guessing 27mm IIRC

Hi Chestlock:

This is FANTASTIC. I very much appreciate the information. Problem is I am currently debating if I should swap my Q5 for an S4. Currently have 17mm spacers for the Q5. It'll be a waste if I can't use them.

I am going to go through all the information you've sent. Thanks so much I really appreciate it.

No prob dude. Yeah, I was reading your other thread there yesterday - two completely different vehicles, but I'm sure you'll be more than happy with your new S4. I 've had mine now for about 4 months and love it more and more every day. Congrats.

Yep, check out all that info - the 17mm spacers might be an easy sell and would definitely be a good fit to someone with stock 18s on their B8, which can readily absorb 15mm fronts and 20mm rears. The "Learning from the A4" thread is great and an awesome place to ask questions - people there are waaay more knowledgeble than I am on the subject (LOU and Blake are really helpful).

Aside from H&R spacers (which I've heard may have a vibration issue due Audi's hubcentric mounts) Black Forest Industries has vibe-free good quality spacers for the B8, as does Achtuning. PG Performance here in Vancouver will also custom make spacers for you that they claim they've never had issues with.

Cheers
