Very slick, congrats. Agree on the spacers, would look awesome of wheels are pushed out a bit.

Can't wait to see the wider body which hopefully will show up evetually on the B8 RS4

The spacers won't work. The rears already rub at times. These are already at the maximum offsets.

What tire width/profile are you running - 275/30/19?

I'm pretty sure he's running 255's AND Falkens... if he switched to PS2's, they'd be rubbing for sure.

He had to have HRE shave off 5mm from the rear rims b/c the wheels were literally flush with the fenders.

No way you're going to be any more aggressive than that.

Thumbs up

Wheels look great!

I would ditch the red/blue HRE centercaps for the Black/Silver HRE centercaps. It would match much nicer!

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!

The silver/black is what everyone uses. I got the red/white/blue to be a bit different and think it looks nice with some color.

I'm actually running 245/35/19 FK452's. Granted, the sidewalls are pretty square, but as I said there's no room to push them out since they already rub the fender liners with the suspension compressed. When they wear out, I'll opt for tires with more forgiving sidewalls and reassess.

That is insane looking. Great choice in wheels and that is a perfect ride height. That is the first new A4 I have seen with any kind of mods and it looks great. Enjoy it.

Looks great bro, but why throw down the extra coin for S-line wheels only to upgrade them later?

I didn't get S Line for the wheels. They will make a nice set of spares though!

Nice ride!

Where did you get that boot-lip spoiler? (I'd like o know if they make one for my S5?)

Thanks


Joe
