My B7 S4

Audi S4

I picked up my 2006 Audi S4 in February of 2012 with just 24,000 miles on the clock. I traded in my A4 to buy her, but kept a lot of my parts that would swap over, so luckily this thing will get modded up pretty quick! Here are the stats of the car and the mods I’ve installed so far, much more to come.

    Thanks! I’m excited for it too :)

    Nick just a question. I have an Audi A4 2L T full S line package. Currently the car has 18inch Audi rims on it. The Fender gap. Between the tire and arch is about 6 -8 cm. I’m in the process of saving money for new rims but I can’t decide between 19s and 20inch rims. Please advise me as to the pros and cons please I don’t want to spend my money and then be sorry. Nl 19s looking to small and 20s making the Car to sluggish. Plz I await your reply.

  5. Nick says:

    I strongly recommend 19s over 20s. I think 20s look to big and they’re also going to have a harsher ride and require more expensive tires. 19s are perfect in terms of size. The fender gap I can’t help you with though, lowering springs or coilovers are really the only ways to get rid of that…

    hey nick, im looking to by 19inch oem rs4 wheels (size 255/35 R19 ). I have a b7 a4 with oem 17 inch wheels. Will these wheels work, do I need spacers?

  9. Nick says:

    They’ll work, and you definitely won’t need spacers. If anything, you’ll need a drop otherwise they might look a little too aggressive and poke out a bit too much.

    I ask this because people on audizine say that the arc for the wheel arches on the rs4 are bigger because of the wheel,and the a4 has to little of arches for the wheels.

  11. Nick says:

    This is true, but you will find people that run OEM RS4 wheels on a A4/S4 fender. A lot of times they’ll downsize the tires to 245 or 235 width with a little stretch to prevent rubbing, but if you’re not lowered then that probably won’t happen much anyway…

  12. Luis says:

    Thanks nick! Cant wait to see your s4 customized!
