Hi Guys. Are there any suggestions on 19" wheels (OEM replicas) that I can get for the winter that DO NOT require spacers? I just spoke with someone at VMR and their 708s would require spacers.

I would just buy some OEM's for winter... look 4 posts down

my wheels vibrated the whole winter last year - never could figure the spacers out...

No sidewall problems, no spacers, no thinking... just a lot of fun e-brake slides.

I've wondered the same.... makes no sense unless you want bu

2nd the 18"

I live in central NJ and realistically the roads rarely if ever get bad enough where I think it will make much of a difference. So I simply prefer the look of the 19s. Is the short answer that 19s without spacers are not available unless I get OEMs?

They are about maybe 1-2cm in from the edge of the fender but they work fine.

and the stock 19's just look so great. Why compromise on the appearance of your car for 5-6 months of the year. On the other hand, I do completely agree with you on the issue of extra sidewall protection with the 18's as roads do get beat up during the winter. pros and cons to each.

If the RS4 is going to be a daily winter driver and you live in a harsh winter climate, go 18" with 255/40/18 winter tires. Otherwise, if you have another vehicle for when the weather/roads are really bad, or your winters are milder and your winter tires are "just in case", get a second set of OEM (nothing looks better) and stock size winter tires.
