I have an ECS Stage 3 on my car. I'm currently running 2006 Audi S4 BBS CH Style wheels with 8mm spacers but I think they push the wheels a little too much (at least for my liking). What other wheels have great clearance without spacers or at least smaller spacers? What are people running?

Heard good things about the Hartmann RS4 - 242 HC. Anybody have these or interested in a trade for my wheels?

Aftermarket BBS CH wheels with an ET35 fit most BBKs.

BBS CH (not the Audi BBS made knock off ;-)

They just look like crap when compared to the SL's.

Neuspeed RS 19" wheels are BBK friendly.

i thought real BBS CH still no-go. 18's+19's dont fit on our C5's without spacers for the hp2

I've personally seen B5 S4 guys run the BBS CH.

The CH will also fit over the C5 HP2 setup.

The BBS CH is generally regarded as a very "BBK friendly" wheel.

Yea, a little too skinny for our chubby looking cars.

that the C5 has two different rotor sizes while still using an HP-2 caliper. He has a 4.2L V8, and I guess the 2.7T also uses the HP-2 caliper, but the rotor thickness dimensions are different, and probably the cause of some wheels, including the BBS CH, fitting on one but not the other.

The B5 S4 calipers/rotors we use on our B6 has the rotor dimension that allows more wheels to fit.
