Default Wheel Fitment

Has anyone already measured the wheel fitment information on the RS4?

Please see the ftiment data sheet like the one on the Fikse web site.

If someone has this data already it would prevent me from doing it all over. Once done you can use this to evaluate any wheel available to see if it fits or design the fitment you want i.e. 18 x 10 track wheels.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fikse.com/fitment.html">http://www.fikse.com/fitment.html</a</li></ul>

Default We are working on wheel fitment and will have solutions available...

in the future. We should have physical fitment for track testing mid November if all goes as planned. We are utilizing the large amount of room that is left untouched with factory wheels and factory offset. This car should be able to product some serious mechanical grip.

Cheers,

So Alex, what solutions are you looking at? One piece forged specially made rims or three piece configured rims such as Fikse etc?

I am very interested in your work on the 18x10 rims. I can tell from my recent track excusion that with that much serious grip the stock supension will not hold the car and the Ohlins will be needed. Then I will not be able to stop without smoking the brakes within a few laps so the BBK will be needed.

Then I won't be able to keep my **** planted in the stock seat without a harness bar and harness set up.

Then I'll just need to buy another race car. So when are you selling the Stasis A4?

Default We are looking at one piece forged wheels currently available to us

Which A4 are you looking to buy

The Signature Series A4's are already rolling out of dealerships!

Default what sizes?...

good to hear!! one piece are usually stronger and lighter...plus that means there will be no lip...so you can definately make the spokes more concave...which would be GREAT if you did from an aesthetic POV..keep us posted

Default Stasis A4 race car

Isn't the Stasis race car driven by Chip an A4? But anyway that's the type of car I would want.

I just sold my older BMW e30 M3 D-Modified race car which was 2100 lbs. and 300 HP, full cage etc, etc, etc. New owner took two weeks to blow a $15K motor.

Default one piece forged wheels

That certainly would be best. Yet limited production forged wheels can drive up the cost. Any idea on a price point?

Default 2-3 seasons of use, we do have a B5 race car for sale still...

which was an Audi Sport car, then to Champion and finally to us. That car is an RS4 widebody version as performed by Audi Sport, full nine yards race car with all the typical race car bits. You can stuff some serious rubber under a B5 RS4 widebody chassis. At that point the chassis isn't really what makes the car, these are extensively built machines. If you are interested we can always spec that B5 out for you

No pricing as of yet, 19x10.5" is the target and pricing will likely be under $1k per wheel
