16" Avus Rims on 2002 S4
I'm going for a winter drive next week and a friend has offered to loan me his 16" Avus rims w/Blizzaks. Question is, will they fit over the brakes on my 2002 S4?

'95 and later UrS6 had them...

No way. It's all about the "deep hat" on the UrS cars...

This deep hat is what allows massive calipers under smallish rims. The problem isn't radial clearance, it's wheel spoke clearance. The above kit (314mm rotor) fits under the stock 16x8, ET40! I have the 323mm kit, which also fits under the same rim.
Anyway, you were correct the first time; there is no chance that wheel will just bolt-up over the S4 brakes.
