Are these 19" wheels to big for an S4?

haha..i dont mean to sound like a dick here.... isnt this a pretty redundant question?? You ask if thse wheels are too big for the s4, then show a pic of them on an s4??

I mean are you asking if they look to big on an s4 as opposed to if theyll fit..cause according to the pic, they can fit.

I think what the guy wants to know is do you think they look too big on the car, some people fit silly size wheels and it looks like big foot lol

I think they look a little big. 18s are plenty big.

I was asking b/c I am looking into buying the car but its about a 90 minute drive, I didn't want to waste my time if the car has the "bigfoot" look. I was also worried because the tires are of such a low profile it could cause a miserably harsh ride and easily bent rims.

now your looking in the right area (cost of tyres) the low profile is required with these rims and the cost is an issue (hit a stone/curb and the tyre is shot) and that means mega bucks to replace bend the rim and you have a bigger cost issue

harsh ride?? that's goes with these wheels but the car sticks to the ground like nothing else its a cost-V-ride quality (sport is what its was designed for not comfort) + if the suspension has been done to compensate your buying a bank breaker (you cant put big rims on there unless you consider the suspension) be ware

90 minute drive??? that aint nothing.. i flew from mn to florida to get my car.. and drove it back !!! [8D]

Sorry i misinterpreted what you were asking for though.. The "bigfoot" look though as you put it i think is subjective. What do you think it looks like. In my opinion i think they look big, but not really overly big. if you dont like em..you can always sell em and buy other ones.

your playing with terminology you swine the 19" look great but I recon 17" are better due to cost, if you have loads of dosh/cash/money who cares

In the sale description it says he has had the car lowered, i assume with springs, but doesn't have the Bilstein shocks or swaybars.
