Default New to the forum, just had a quick questions about wheels...

Hey guys and gals, hows it going? I'm new to the Audi scene, but definately am eager to learn about them. I picked up a 05.5 A4QT a couple months ago, and didnt really want to touch it right away, but now I'm about to order a set of wheels and some springs and shocks for now to get the look I want.

My main question is, I was looking at these, the 18X8 HP Evo wheels and wasnt quite sure if they would fit over the brakes. I emailed the company and he said as long as I dont have the "big brake kit", they will fit, but couldnt give me a yes or no answer.

Can anyone throw a little info this way and help a newbie out?

Thanks!

No offense or anything, but I didnt ask if you liked them and could care less if you don't, it's my car and I like them, that's all I care about. I was just curious if they fit.

Anybody know if they'll fit on a 05.5 B7?

They will clear A4 brakes, I'm sure... those HP wheels are on B6's all the time... are B7 brakes any bigger?

They won't clear S4 brakes though.

I appreciate the info guys. I thought I heard or read some where that the new A4 got the same breaks as the B5 or B6 S4, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure.

Again, I appreciate it!

Edit: Actually, I just found this, so I guess they wont without spacers.

Brakes

With bigger engines Audi reached into its parts box and pulled out the B6 platform S4 brakes for the front of the B7 A4. The A4's rear brakes have also been improved over the B6. As a result we found this car to be extremely responsive and safe feeling.
I got this from here.
