Default Gary or Randy..... will 19" A8 5spoke rims fit an 01' S8

Assuming the oem is 18x8 ET 48 with a 245/45/18 and an OD of 26.7 or so...

the 19x ? 5 Spokes are ET 45 and OD of 26.9

I know the tires will work but will the offset clear the front suspension you think ?

THANKS for any info or insight....

Default Can't say for sure, haven't tried...sorry.

We don't have too much experience with those OE wheels.

Default 255/40-19 on an ET45 and either 19x8 or 19x8.5 will fit an S8.

I doubt that the wheel is 19x9, but if so, the inner clearence between the wheel/tire and upright will be very (perhaps too?) tight. An ET39 19x9 fits fine.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/tiresizeoptions.html">A8/S8 Wheel-Tire Options</a></li></ul>
