Default What offset flat spoke wheels for the B5 S4?

I don't really know much about wheels or their sizes, but for a 18x8.5" wheel, what is the optimal offset for the B5 S4?

Specificially I'm asking about a wheel with flat spokes like the BBS LM.

Additionally, will that size fit other Audi models? If so, which.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks,
Jacob

Default I may be wrong, but IIRC, TireRack will list the offset somewhere. Just select the S4 (or the other

Audi models you're interested in) and select the wheel and size, and somewhere on the screen it should show offset.

If a wheel in a particular size is not listed for a particular model, it likely doesn't fit. TireRack does a pretty good job of keeping records on fitment.

Default For 8.5" BBS wheels, it could be 32mm or 35mm. Best to keep asking to know for sure.

Tirerack shows both offsets working with an 8.5" wide wheel.
