Default Sport Edition rims

Does anyone have any knowledge regarding Sport Edition wheels? I have been pondering switching up the wheels on the rs4 but it's difficult to do considering how nice the OEM wheels look (wheel obsession mainly). I saw them on this s5 for sale and wow...they look incredible IMO.





Only problem is that they only make this particular model(ST5) in 19x8.5, with offset of 32mm in front and an optional 19x9.5 with 34mm in rear; or 20x8.5, with offset of 32mm. Weird. None of these dimensions comply with stock specs. Also, my car is lowered with stasis suspension so I'm curious if the 20" would fit. Thoughts?? Thanks.

19x8.5" ET32mm wheel with a 10mm spacer would give you almost identical wheel geometry to the stock wheels relative to the fender.

I think the center bore is different between the RS4 and the S5 wheels.

Yes, you CAN fit a 20" rim with Stasis and Lowered (I do), but you REALLY have to watch your offsets and make sure you are aligned. The clearances you have with that setup are really really small.
