I'm only directing you to resources that are right under your fingertips, chicken.

That link has all the information you request. Sorry if it's too unfriendly for you.

Just offsetting your braggadocio.

I'm pretty sure the search is broken for a 2 character search term. That's likely intentional for site operability.

fwiw, You must know how to do a Google site search, which will include 2 character search terms...
.
Try "site: www.audiworld.com S8 offset", for instance.

Anyway, etron, congratulations on your S8. And at least I’m happy to welcome you to this site, although it’s not what it used to be. It’s turned into a lecture series. Mike

I've taken the time to provide you with plenty of useful information, including a link to exactly what you asked for, yet you continue to rebuke. I'm done, because I'm not going to spoon feed you - and have little patience for laziness.
.
All I can add is that a couple mm difference on the offset won't matter, especially if you are just running winter tires on the rims.
.
Cheers!

We all know the type. It is what it is.
The amount of energy he spent being a jerk would have been better spent just giving a single answer, or just scrolling on by.
But based on the majority of his comments here, it's clear he'll go back and forth all day long. I'm too old now for that level of pettiness. People like that are why most car forums are all but dead and it all went to places like Facebook.

Thank you for the welcome. I've left the BMW world because modern BMWs are just the ugliest cars I've ever seen. I moved from a bunch of great BMWs: an E90 M3 6MT, an E39 M5, a couple E34 M5's, a 500hp at the wheels E34 535/5, an E32 V12, an E38 V12. I kept the E46 M3 6MT 'vert though.
I bought the e-tron S last year and now I want a bucket list car - which is why I'm here. My dealer got this low mileage S8 in on trade and I jumped on it.

I would have loved to own a D2 S8, but a clean one is not so easy to find anymore. I take delivery tomorrow and I can't wait!

I’m sure you will love the looks of your new Daytona Gray S8. These cars are much more than just power. They really have a presence, and I feel a special thrill every time I approach mine. I can’t imagine what I would replace it with. Mike
