Default Gary....question on BBS wheels for RS4.....

I am currently running 10mm spacers with my stock 19x9 RS4 wheels. These fit absolutely perfectly with no rubbing issues whatsoever, front or rear. According to tirerack, however, BBS only offers a 9.5" wheel as an optional rear fitment. I would think that a 9.5" wheel would fit in front. On almost all other Audis you can go 1/2" wider without a problem, and using the 10mm spacers on the stock RS4 wheels would lead me to believe that you can easily go to a 9.5" wheel. I would be interested in a 19x9.5 BBS RGR or RS-GT.

I also saw on the BBS website that the RGR is built in 19x9 size. Will this fit the RS4? Thanks.

Lots of brake clearance issues.

You can go wider, to 9.5. It will be tight to the inside suspension, and the tire sidewall will be outside the fender.

RGR and RSGT do not come in 9" wide with the correct bolt pattern or offset, sorry.
