Default 4.2 rims (polished aluminum type) are very hard to find, and...

... if you find them, they are expensive. They look better (in my opinion) than S4 wheels, but as you can see, you run a greater risk of rubbing tires with the 4.2 wheels.

Default *oops* Meant to be posted above - Get the ones you like better. Both rims will fit your car.

The only issue *MAY* be the tire size. YOu might find 4.2 wheels without tires and I'd recommend using 235/45-17 tires but you can use the 255s just fine if you are not lowered since that is what Potomac2.7T is running with no issues.

Default I'll try to get the 4.2 wheels. They already come with original tires. ...

My car is not lowered, so I'm hoping it will work out.

Default What about when the car is full? Won't the tires rub on the fenders?

Sometimes when I put 5 large adults into my car it lowers a lot. Won't the tires rub when I climb a onto a steep driveway?
