Thanks man! They're 8.5 with a 35 et all around. I needed 20mm spacers on all corners to get perfectly flush. It was a must to stretch under the fenders a bit if I wanted to maintain that ride height.

Hmm, I thought I understood offset perfectly. 20mm spacers would make your wheels' offset ET15. Are the wheels really flush with fenders? There was a video on this board of an S4 with S5 wheels (ET32) and the fronts were poking, and ET15 is about inch more outward.

Likely a case of negative camber due to coil height. Although I find it hard to believe that a 8.5 et 32 wheel would poke heavily on an S4. I'll try to take a true side shot this week...

Wallpaper
Can you make your first picture available for download (size 1920x1200) somewhere? I really could use it as wallpaper for my pc.
Outstanding photo! Congrats on the car and your skills!

Super Hot! Great Work! Really enjoyed this thread. Ive been debating btw getting RS4 rims or 710s. As of lately i was set on RS4s but now your making me second guess my self. oh and i can see your logic in trying to tie in or match that hot grill to some thing else on car i think the diffuser is enough ...not your fault that that mod has been cheapened by pep boys 99c fuel cap stickers. great car

Aluminum side-blades?
Not sure if these would match the stainless, but you might like 'em:

Won't poke heavily, the rears are actually OK, but the fronts do extend past the fender. 20mm spacers advance the offset to super aggressive ET15, which should poke by around an inch. The camber can be adjusted at an expense of tire wear and looking weird, which this car does not. Either way, car looks really good. Please take some hi-res side profile photos of the front and rear, thanks.
