Wheel Spacing
 
I am planning on getting B5 RS4 rims on my S4. The size is 18x8.0vs the stock 17X7.5. Are wheel spacers neceary for this size change, or will they fit without any mods other than an offset?

Thanks

I think are wheels have an ET of 45mm and the B5RS4 are 35mm. No spacers should be need but you might need to roll the fenders.

I have B5 RS4 wheels on my B5 S4. I was on H&R Sport springs and stock shocks. With 225/40/18 I did not rub at all. I am putting FK Street Line coilovers on and expect no rubbing unless I lower it a bit more than it was before.

No spacers are needed and the RS4 wheels even clear my Porsche brakes.

Depends on where you get the Reps from. I ended up needing 5mm spacers to clear the front brakes for my set. Just ask the manufacturer about fitment, they should be able to tell you if their wheel will work or not.

My RS4 wheels are Hartmann reps. Should have added that.
