Default will RS4 replicas 18" fit the new S4 (and our A4?) <more>

I know the replicas will fit our cars but will they also fit the new S4?
I want to get them but am possibly looking into moving to the new S4 when it comes out and want to use the same wheels..
are the offsets and bolt patterns the same?
thanks

Bolt pattern- same. Offsets- there are RS4 replicas w/ different offsets out there, so diff. look.

Default I was thinking of the replicas from achtuning which can fit the stock centercap. any idea? also..

also one of the UK guys is running the real rs4 wheels w/ 235-30-18 I THINK..and he says they dont rub at all but other people w/ the same size tires on various wheels say they get rubbing.. basically trying to figure out if the replicas are going to be close enough to the real thing so that I dont have rubbing problems etc..
thanks again

Default Both cars share same chassis, so it's not an A4/S4 thing

tires and offset are a different subject. Remember that some tires have more rounded edges, while some are more squared off, and that can make a difference. Also, how low are they going on the drop jobs? Basically, if you're going from stock to stock for both cars, you should be fine. Pics of the new S4 don't pass me by as slammed.

Default Yes they will fit.....

The new S4 will have the same bolt pattern and offset as the A4. Maybe we can get someone to photoshop some of these wheel onto the new S4 for us

Our replicas are ET35 which is the proper. The "other" replicas on the market are 30mm and imho may stick out too far.
