Fitting 16" Allroad tires and wheels to a 2004 S4
 

I have a chance to get a good deal on a set of 2004 16" Allroad wheels and
tires. Does anyone have experience mounting them to 2004 S4? The calipers
on the S4 are in the way, but I wonder if there are any spacers/adaptors
that solve the problem.

16" rims on a S4?

And no they wont fit, your calipers are to big.
You need to lay off the weed.

17" are the smallest rims that you can put on that S4, and even those, not
all fit depending on spoke design.

Also, the rims for Allroad generally have rather low offset, so they'd stick
out too far if mounted on the S4.

No it is not the weed - I don't use it anymore, at my age I get the same
effect when I stand up too quickly. Actual were I live I can could use a
set of winter tires. The 235/40 18" are OK tractionwise, but not when it
comes to stopping. Fred
