Default I'm already starting to think about winter wheels.....

I have a set of Dunlop M3's (size 235/40-18) that were on my B6 S4 and wanted to figure out if I can use them on the RS.

What offset would I need to have with a 18x8 wheel in order to clear the RS4's brakes? I know I might need spacers to make this work, but I was hoping to avoid that.

I have no idea what the stock RS4 offset is.

TIA

I am thinking about ordering a set of these as my winter wheels. They are the 18's that come as an option on the Euro spec RS's. I think they look pretty sick on this car.

That seems like a nice change, to have a different rim for each season and they look good.

Not bad. What I like is that they look easy to clean. That's a big deal in the NE.

Default Where to get them, or are they Audi

I have my eye on a set of 18" OEM replica 5-spoke on ebay for only $480. It also looks like there's not a lot of choices for tires. Luckily, the Dunlop Wintersports are fine. I had a set of the Wintersport S2's on my M5 for a season, and on a Jeep Grand Cherokee for 3 seasons. I only hope that the 3's are as good or better than the 2's.

Default already got a set...

after I burn through these goodyearF1's for the remainder of the track season, a set of 255/40/18 dunlop wintersport M3's are going on and the rims will be permanently relegated to winter duty.
