Default A rim question??

I am a rookie when it comes to Audi so tryin to learn a bit here. I hve a vast knowledge of Hondas and know how interchangeable there parts are. So does anyone know if a set of R8 rims would fit my 05 S4?

As far as I know the R8 wheels have a higher offset than your S4 and they are a fair bit wider so you may need some spacers....but maybe not.

If you really like the wheels then grab them, hubcentric spacers are not very expensive if you need them but I have a hunch you wont.

The OEM R8 wheels are 19x8,5 ET42 front & 19x11 ET50 Rear

you can run 4 front on your car no problem, ideally with a 5-8mm spacer to get a nice flush fitment and to clear your front callipers

As for running the rears... good luck! You'll be losing close to 2 inches of inner clearance, which I'm sure will hit the strut.. you cant really afford to add spacers to gain the inner clearance you'll need since they will be poking ~15mm to begin with... Im sure it can be done, but you'd have to run a really stretched tire, roll your fenders, and possible add some camber

The OEM R8 wheels will be pretty pricey and difficult to find 4 fronts. If you like that wheel, then you can always get a set of replicas for a fraction of the price. I'd offer you a set of the replicas, but unfortunately we dont have them in stock any more
