wheels for a b5 s4
If anyone can tell me a good site(s) that has wheels for a 01' s4 I'd greatly appreciate it. Most sites generalize the audis into one catagory and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for wheels that won't fit over my calipers. Thanks for the help

RE: wheels for a b5 s4
Alright, I just picked up a set of kahn wheels. It's a wheel company out of britain apparantly and I'm having trouble getting specs on them. It's the rs-r model and they are 18" by 7.5" I'm not sure what the offset is on them but I know that they are not clearing my front calipers. They fit perfect on an a4 though. What I'm trying to figure out is the size spacer I'm going to need to make these work on my car, and keep the wheels from sticking out from under the fenders. Or if putting the spacers on is gonna look like **** would I be better off trying to sell these and pick up some different ones. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if you guys need any more info I'll do my best to get it. Thanks alot.

I don't know Kahn.
Yeah, that's the problem with S4's. The calipers make it a tough fit. That's why places like Tire Rack are good, because they have done the work already - they know if the wheel clears the calipers and is the correct offset.
My guess is that the spacer will push the wheel out too much and you'll have rubbing, regardless of the cosmetic change that you may not like. In addition, the suspension and driving dynamics change dramatically when you "push" wheel offset.
Just food for thought.

Yeah, I was expecting to hear that even though I didn't want to. I've been on the tire rack a dozen times but there isn't anything on there that's really catching my eye except for the bbs rgr's and they're a bit too pricey for me right now. I'm trying to get wheels asap because I'm still riding my snow tires on the stock wheels and I don't want to go through the hassle of mounting and balancing all the time. If you know of any other sites or classifieds please let me know. Thanks again.
