Default IF you are worried about fitment, offset won't dictate proper fit, it's more related to...

The design of the spokes, etc.

Default My 18" Racinghart ST6 (ET30 to 35) and 17" SSR Comp(ET35) both clear the ST brakes.

Like what Mark said, it's not so much the offset but the design of the spokes. Stock S4 rims have an offset of ET45 and they clear the ST calipers.

Default What kind of rim are you getting?

Stoptech have a brake template that shows you all the measurements. Based on that the wheel mfg should be able to know whether it will fit or not.

Default your first thing to do would be to see if a given wheel fits an S4 - that's the best gauge...

if that wheel will fit over this kit on an A4. The clearance is very similar between the stock S4 setup and the Stoptech or APR kits.

So far, I think most every wheel that fits on an S4 will also clear these kits. Next step would be to ask on the Wheel forum or A4 forum if anyone actually has the combo you want or if they have looked into it.

Do you have a wheel in mind that you are looking at?

Good luck!

Default Hmmm I'm not too sure about the TE37

You should ask around on the S4 forum. I heard they had to grind the calipers for that wheel to fit. If that's the case then it definitely won't fit over the ST kit.
