Post your wheel/tire setup with pictures and information...

[8520]

After reading a couple posts in the "rimtuck thread" I figured this would be appropriate to start. FrankA6 started one of these threads in the C5 forum and it is very useful for those looking to see what wheels look like or what it takes for certain setups.

Here is his post (modified a bit) -

Why not make a thread of all of our setups. Post pictures of wheel size , offset , tire size and if any fender mods were needed to make that setup work. This would be a good reference thread for newcomers or just members looking to switch it up, this way you can get an idea of what size/setup you would like to run before making any big purchases.

This is for any B5 S4/RS4 model.

List the following. Summer & Winter wheels , OEM or Aftermarket.

Wheel make/name (BBS LM)
Wheel size (18x9.0)
Offset (33-45ET)
Tire size (245/40/18)
Suspension (coilovers/h&r sports/stock...etc etc)
Modifications if needed (fender roll/trimmed fender liners/spacers...etc etc)
And most of all post 2-4 good images of each setup so that the fitment can been seen clearly.

Please try to keep the images semi small (800x600ish) so that there is better load time. thanks.

Please list what car they are on since they obviously vary between widebody and not.

And here is a really solid example from him of what posts should look like -

2004 A6 2.7T


VMR VB3 (BMW CSL Reps) 5x120
18x9.5 26ET front and back with 5x120>5x112 adapters (19mm)
225/40/18
Dunlop DZ101's
H&R Coilovers 23.5"FTG front and back
Fronts need rolled with front liner trimmed / rears need fender liner trimmed about 3 inches in.

Sick f****ing car man.......damn being married and bills!!! hahaha

[highPSI-S4]

I like where this is heading. Car looks Beautiful Frank!

[MDJ]

Perfect! That's the setup I was going for!

[DeleriousZ]

Excellent, thank you 8520! Now let's get this thread filled with wheel and tire setups.

Also may I suggest putting the early kibosh on the imminent stretch vs no stretch argument that's bound to happen with any wheel/tire thread?

[bgzs4]

When I get some decent pics I'll post my setup. I like this idea.

[DeleriousZ]

Bump this up! Let's get some wheel specs in here! (I'm rolling stockers with winters on them right now, not worth adding pics!)

so hot ^

[frankie V]

so true ^

[DeleriousZ]

Big Head that is spot on. How much clearance do you have on the inside of all four wheels? Room for 9.5's at same offset?

[DeleriousZ]

bump please :(

come on guys!

[S4 Big Head]

bump please :(

come on guys!

Thanks guys

Honestly, I can't remember how much clearance I had on the inside. I do remember when I put my friends 19x10 et37 with 245/35 both front and back and the wheel touched the control arms slightly. If you ran 18x9.5 et30 with 225/40s I think you'd be fine. What wheels are we talking about if I may ask?

Work XD-9's. Plan on running the 225/40 on the 9.5's on a square setup.

Thanks for the reply!

yeah despite what tire rack says, BBS RGR's need spacers to clear stock HP2's. I learned that the hard way.
