    5x112 19x8.5 et43 Would Fit?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey,

    Got someone selling 19" oem audi wheels from a B8 Sline. They are RS4 style wheels, 5x112 19x8.5 et43.

    How well would these fit on a A4 B7 with stock sport suspension?

    I am running 18" VMR 708 18x8 ET45 with 245/40/18 tires at the moment and while they fit, they are very close to the suspension I can fit only one thumb inside between the wheel and suspension. 2 of them were damaged this winter

    Would the original oem 19" be stronger than VMR 18"?

    I was running 19" B8 S4 wheels for awhile but I had H&R lowering springs but that wasn't an issue at all with clearance. Your talking about space between the tire and top of the fender or between the tire and side of the fender?

    I am running these exact specs on my car on air ride. They will fit fine on your car with stock suspension.

    Fyi hub bore is different, B7 is 57.1 mm and B8 is 66.6 I believe. I'm using hub centric rings to run B8 wheels.

    I'm running 19x8.5. Et 45. Tires 225/35/19. I use this website called willtheyfit.com. You enter your stock numbers and the aftermarket numbers and it tells you what differences there will be when it comes to inner clearance, outer clearance, overall diameter.

    I'm running these rims I got off an a5/s5 owner and 255/45/19 and I'm only rubbing when I hit dips. Going into body shop soon for a wide fender pull all around soon though.

    I tried to put the wheels on, but the front wouldn't fit back were fine. Had to put on 10mm spacers in front to clear:





    Is it because of my tire size (245/40/19)?

    Do you think 235/40/19 instead of 245/40/19 would have fit or need to reduce sidewall from 40 to 35?

    You don't want to change the overall diameter, it needs to be 35 with a 19" rim. They will fit fine.

    People with 255s, are they protruding past the guard/body?
