Default Will these wheels work on my RS4?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/99466/oe-rs6-s-d-4-new.jpg"></center><p>Sorry guys, I'm not a wheel expert so I was hoping to get some guidance from the group...

These are 18X8 5/112mm bolt and 42mm offset. I'm putting 245/40 series all seasons. I don't mind having to put a spacer if need be, but would like to know if it would be required. Most importantly I want to know if it will clear the brakes...

If anyone has tried these wheels (they are not the OE 18X8.5 that are optional for the RS4, which have an offset of 24mm)

Thanks in advance

Not without a huge 25 mm spacer.

Default No and also.....

I believe they are quite heavy. The stock wheel weighs 27lbs. which is decent for a factory 19x9 wheel. Your best bet is to go to Tirerack.

Secondly, why on earth are you putting All-Compromise tires on a car such as this? Why not dedicated high performance snow tires?

Finally, why are you downsizing the tire width. As it is, the 255 tires are on the edge of just enough traction. Go with the correct 255/40/18 size.

Default Please no. But question for Vijay

I agree with Vijay. Please do not put those on.

But: Why does Vijay think the stocks weigh 27lbs? The stocks are listed as 33Lbs on Oempl.us. Did you weigh them?
