Does anyone knew the offset of OEM RS6 rims? The reps I bought are et30. Are the OEM rims closer to the outside edge of the car? I want to fill my fenders a lil' more, without using expensive custom spacers (and I would definetly have them made custom, so that I won't have any quality issues.)

Try a search. You're sure to find your answers that way.

Default The link in cL's eBay listing (to Audi USA) says et20mm, which doesn't sound right to me...

Although the OEM's on cL's car do look closer to the outside of the car, compared to my RS reps w/30mm offset...

RS6 is ET30. I believe it is the Allroad that is ET20.

Default That was the only link Audi USA had with a price...

Our cars are no longer listed, nor is the RS 6. The ET20 work on A8's and allroads, but is too much for the A6's.

18 x 8.5 ET30 are OEM RS 6 size which work on the 4.2 & S6.

The OEM 5-spoke "winter wheel" for the RS6 was 18x7.5" ET20
