Do Audi S5 Rims fit on RS4
Does anyone know if the stock 19x9 33 offset rims will fit the RS4. Seems like it should be a good fit on paper. Can't seem to find used RS4 rims as track beaters but the S5's seem to be around in decent supply at reasonable prices.

The RS4 OEM wheels are 29 mm offset, so most likely you'd need some spacers to get the S5 wheels away from anything they might rub. Trial and error is the best way to find out.

S5 wheels are 19x9.0 ET32 so not far from our sizing actually.
The real issue is that our hub diameter is 57.1 mm and theirs is 66.56mm so you'd need step down adapters.
FTR they look a little weird on the RS4. I'd look elsewhere for a source for wheels. RS4 wheels are great though. Light (for the size), and cheap (usually $1500 with half-life tires)
Try to buy a set of TDR Pro 1.2? I think that's what they're called. 18x9.0 and they clear our calipers. Light as hell too. Probably about 1200-1300 for a set.

If I could find a set of used RS4 rims that would certainly be my first choice. I'm a little weary of dropping down to 18s bc I think it may leave me with less airflow over the rotors for cooling. .... Did you really call our rims light!? They're like 29 lbs!! But I'm not too obscessed over weight, not enough to spend a bunch of money. Would this "step down adaptor" essentially go onto my hub to bridge the size difference to pair up with the rim.

Find me a set of wheels same size/offset that don't cost $4000 and are that light...pretty tough. HRE P40/M40 wheels in that size will be about 23-24 lbs and will cost you $4000. If you're coming from a B6/7 S4 or an E46 M3 or something JDM, yes, 26.5 lbs doesn't seem all that light...but don't forget those cars all rock tiny little wheels compared to these 19x9.0 ET29 wheels on the RS4.
Plus our wheels look awesome. Hard to beat.
The hub ring adapter goes into the bore. The centre bore on our wheels (and all B5/6/7 cars) is smaller than the new B8 cars (A5/S5 and 2009+A4/S4) so you need the adapters. They're cheap little weightless aluminium rings.
