Default Wheel Help

I own a B5 S4,and I found some wheels that are really nice. I am not %100 sure these would fit onto my car though, 19x8.5 in front with a 235/35/19 tire and a 2inch lip, and in rear 19x9.5 with 265/35/19 with a 3inch lip, also the offset is 35mm. If anyone knows if this setup would fit onto my car i would be very grateful thanx

short answer... no.

long answer. youd probably be fine up front. May need a spacer, depends on the wheel. But your going to have a conflict with the fenders. You could probably do it with some fender rolling. In back thats huge. ive seen once case of someone running X x 9. But pretty sure they needed body work.

I've seen plenty of people running a staggered setup on their S4's, and nothing going wrong with the quattro

True...but it can only hurt your performance... you get no gains from doing a staggered. You can do a staggered look without actually doing a staggered set up.. And most of the staggered setups ive seen are that big of a difference. like 18x8 in front and 18x8.5 in back...

ok thanx for the info, but this brings me to my next question, would this also not fit onto my car 19x8.5f, 19.9.5r | General Exclaim UHP 235\35\19f, 245\35\19r, the only problem that i see is the front caliper hitting the wheels. also are the B6 S4 caliper bigger then B5 S4's ?? very appreciated thanx

I dont think they will fit with that lip if you are on your stock brakes without them popping out of the wheel well a lot. the weels i just got had a custom offset to give me the biggest lip possible in the front and its probably 3/4 of an inch - 1 inch

I seen your wheels and they are a very nice set of wheel. How big is your back lip??

I decieded to go ahead and order the wheels. I talked to some people at a local wheel shop and they said that it would work or would come very close, they said if it dosent work that i could put some spacers on(not thrilled about that idea) but i will post some pics when i get the wheels on the car.
