RS4s wheels are 17 x 7.5 +30 I just replaced mine recently. Don't have them anymore as I sold them so I can't be much help on the measurement side of things.

what are you running now and what are your clearances?

If you have a look on page 8 there is some pics of my car there with rims on it. In terms of fitment my guards are standard e.g. no rolling. The front outside edge of the rim is pretty much flush with the guard. The rear is in ever so slightly, maybe 10mm. On the inside I reckon I have close to an inch of clearance from the inside of the wheel to the shock body. The overall height of my wheels is near enough identical to the 215/50/17 inch tyres I had on the car before.

I could have my car alot lower without any clearance issues, I used to have it alot lower on my 17's but i kept scraping the underneath when going into the driveway and over speed humps so I raised it about an inch. Heres a couple of pics

(FYI I run Greddy coilovers so not sure how this would compare to standard struts).

im looking at buying a rs4s and ive got a set of rims in mind that are 19x8 with +35 offset, do you think i'll have issues? or will they sit too far in, eg look crap

it's probably pretty clear by now that my wheel fitement standards are a little more agressive than the majority of you blokes and that by my standards they really will look sunken to all buggery

look at petes white rs4s a few posts back, the wheels you are looking at will sit 39mm in from them :S inner clearance will be about the same

hmmmm

i just looked them up and it appears they will extend out further than the standard rims by an ENTIRE 1mm !!!

but the rims im looking at dont seem to be available in a smaller offset :(

anyone else running on aftermarket wheels that only just extend out or are the same as the standard rims??? .....with pics???

at the moment im looking at either Konig - Hotswap Silver or Vault Crystal, both are 19 x 8 with +35 offset. also considering the vaults in 20 x 8.5 +35 but im not sure if they will foul the strut

i know its been a long three or so years, most certainly glad to be back

i put down a deposit on the new stagea today

Great to hear Andy.

Mikey is going to help me fit something to the yellow pig soon....when they are in stock so if you want to come over and share a beer and wave your hands around and point while I flounder around you are more than welcome.

    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
    • I wonder if these would be discounted when they have their big sales? because if so would be a great time to actually buy them could even end up cheaper than buying from quickjack in the end.
    • Which grit sand paper did you use on the pulley btw? Thought I'd ask so I don't scratch it up too much
