Default Finally: Hartmann B5 RS4 reps PICS (my winter setup)

Wheels are great, fit great with no spacers clear the brakes very well. The +20 offset is actually slightly more aggressive than the stock wheels so the wheels are super flush with the fenders.

The Dunlop Winter Sport M3's make the RS4 a champ in the snow, can't believe how well it does, always passing other cars.

And the Hoen Endurance Yellow foglights work great for severe weather situations.

So thats my winter setup, I've been skiing every weekend for the last 5 weeks, McGyver would not approve of my RS4 dirtyness.

He kem,

Nice wheels! I'm also searching for winter wheels for my RS4, but can anybody say me which ET we have to choose?
And can someone explain me what ET stands for and how it's measured?
Thanks in advance!

All the best,
Stefaan

I like the M3's as well, even on the ice I drove on this morning.

Default ET is offset.

The stock wheels are 19x9, ET 29. If the Hartmann B5 RS 4 reps are the same size, an ET of 20 will have them 9 mm closer to the outside of the car. <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Fwheels%2Ftech%2Ftechpage.jsp%3F techid%3D101">TireRack diagram.</A>

Default The wheels are 18x8.5 w/ a +20 offset.

Basically they stick out towards the fender 2.5 mm more then stock wheels by my calculation.

I just got the same set up for mine! Not a bad look even though it is an 18"...plus they are easy to clean
