I need to see some, I bought ADR Msport wheel, that dont fit, and the only option is 15mm spacer, until I save up enough for a widebody overhaul... So, please give me some pictures of your s4 with 15MM SPACERS! THnks.

Default No, its a joke, but my wheels dont fit.

I am a dumba$$ 18 YEAR OLD, who didnt reasearch the wheel before I bought it. Now I dont have any more money, and I need some kind of wheels. What is the worst that could happen if I put spacers on....

Default well, you could increase your ride height to say, 28"

maybe you wont rub.

also, your bearings are going to be totally shot fairly quickly, that's pretty far off the designed load

Default I don't think "rub" adequately describes what will happen

I recommend you sell the wheels and purchase appropriate ones

Default You're going to have to save up for 15mm spacers- ->

<a href="http://public.fotki.com/LI-S4/cars_and_stuff/mods/mtm_spacers/">MTM 15mm Spacers</a>

And, some more in <a href="http://public.fotki.com/LI-S4/cars_and_stuff/temp_for_alex/">here</a>, read the captions...

The MTM 15 mm spacers are tough to find, and cost near $300..I'd find a better fitting wheel..

Default are you sure they wont clear brakes with a 5mm spacer?

5mm is the absolute most you could do on this car without major fender modifications. 15mm may not rub at stock ridehight, but your car will look terrible. the wheels will stick about 3/4 inch past the fenders, not to mention that your car will look like a monster truck because of the fender gap and the low profile tires on stock suspension. seriously, don't spend any more money trying to get these wheels to fit. sell them or return them, and order a set from tirerack. they'll definitely fit the car. then save up some money and have your car lowered.

Default find out how much you can sell the wheels for...

then come back here and ask for help getting wheels that fit for whatever amount of money you have left. meanwhile put your stock wheels back on if you still have them.

Default

Almost a full inch of scrub radius change? Not good. Triumph of looks over performance?
