Default Maybe this is a common asked forum question, but I am new...

Where might I find info relating to wheel and tire clearance for the S4?

Before I spend a bundle of $$, I would like to know the proper fitment (offset, spacers, etc...) for 19x8.5 wheels with 235/35 tires.

Thanks to those that respond!

Default You can probably find some stuff if you search

anyways, I'm doing this now...Deal is no one really knows for sure because each setup is different. More than likely you're going to have to roll your front fenders unless you run a higher offset (38?)

Try not to go lower than 32 offset.
When you choose a tire, just remember certain tires (s03's / kumho mx) run much wider than normnal tires (ie: 235 is really 245/255).

That's all I got...

Default If I recall correctly, S4MadMan has fitted both sets of wheels in your sig.

I believe he said the RS-GTs will fit in 19"...but I know for a fact if you get 18" RS-GTs with the 8.5" wheel,they will not clear stock or StopTech Brakes. NashS4 had this very problem and had to use spacers.

As far at the GT3s are concerned, the should fit without problem because there are a few here with those wheel (silver finish) on this forum.
