Finally decided on BBS LM, Now I have an Important question
<center><img src="http://www.showoffcafe.com/exc/images/wallpaper/september/1152.jpg"></center><p>The guy im Buying it from had them mounted on a B7 A4. Here are the Stats:
Color is silver with black bbs center cap (gold lettering)
Lug pattern 5x112
The front is 20X8.5 offset is +38
The rear is 20x9.5 offset is +36
Will these fit properly On my B6 S4?... he says he never had any rubbing issues??... I just want to make sure and confirm this before i take the leap in buying this... Thanks for the help guys.

I don't track vehicle either but...
keep in mind the con's:
1) although BBS's are strong wheels, higher chance of either bending wheels or even pop a tire? Not to mention the cost of a 20" tire and its availability.
2) what if you hit a nail, then you're gonna roll w/ (3) 20" wheels and (1) 18" wheel? Thats gotta cause some negative effect on the car.
3) When the time comes and you want to sell, its going to be very tough.
dont get me wrong, I love BBS LM's but 20's would be a bit too much for me. However, its your money and car so more power to you. They will look amazing.

I think LMs look great on the S4. IMO the design makes it look a bit smaller than they really are.
20" - too big for me (I went w/ 19" RS-GTs) but I think you'll definitely have some rubbing issues with a 9.5 +36.
Good luck - but don't say we didn't warn you. : )

Front good/Rear not good
8.5, +38 is perfect for the front.
9.5, +36 is too aggressive for the rear - the wheel will pass the fender by around 3/16".
Rubbing is almost guaranteed in the rear even if you don't lower it.
