Just picked up my 2021 S4 last week and am looking at winter wheels.
Found a used set coming off of a VW passat but wasn't sure about fitment to clear the 6pot brakes.
The wheels are 18x8 ET40 (pictured below), will these likely be ok to fit? Wasn't sure if the ET40 was enough or if I should be looking at ET32 or more instead.

TIA!

Actually the seller said it was 18x8 ET40. Does anyone recognize these wheels and know what year or part number they are? Trying to find more definitive specs online.

Don't recognize the wheels, but the offset is correct for S4:
Center Bore: 66.5 mm
– PCD: 5x112
– Wheel Fasteners: Lug bolts
8Jx18 ET40
– Wheel Tightening Torque: 120 Nm = 89 Ft lbs
– Thread Size: M14 x 1.5

Passat, like all the VW cars from what I've seen so far, is 57.1 center bore, not 66.5 center bore (which the Audi specific models switched to starting B8 / C7 / D4). The Audi clone models (A3 / TT) continue to use the VW 57.1 center bore.

Appears the style is called "Velos". And the only 18x8 Velos I find is et44. https://parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen__P...C0071498A.html
