Steve S, who has an S4, tried one on his car and determined he would need a small spacer. If you go thru the S4 archives, you may find a photo and more info on his experience. If your talking about a 2.8, you may not need spacers. I think the S8 wheels would look great on A6!

It all depends if you lower the car or not....

Who wants to be the guinea pig???

Default Are those the 17" Avus S4 wheels or the 18" S8 wheels? I have 18's

Would they both require a 5mm spacer?

Thanks...

Default Those are the 18X8 S6 wheels...I think...maybe they are the S8 wheels

Now I am confused. My normal S4 wheel is the 17X8" Avus stock wheel...not shown.

Default The S6 comes with 17's - according to tech specs...

Maybe, there is only one way to find out. I was hoping someone had tried the Avus 18's on an A6...
