B7 RS4 + OEM Titanium Package wheels + MTM 10mm Spacers

B6/7 S4/RS4
#21

roadforce is a balance process that’s a little bit different than regular wheel balancing. something to do with the wheels and tires rather than the wheels.

I believe ‘Road Force’ is the name of the type of machine used for this. Hunter might be the company.

Lower isn’t happening. It’s low enough, I get 6-12" of snow a few times a year, DRC is great, and I would hate having to deal with suspension and alignments etc. All of these things mean it’s staying put.

A lowered RS4 does look incredible though.

wonder what the b7 S4 would look like with some 10mm spacers in the rear with OEM +45 ET wheels.

Does the extra set come with bolts as well?

#23

Agreed. The fronts are g2g. Having the rears track a hair wider than the fronts is better than the reverse.

#24

it’ll still look bitch like. You need to go bigger

My old wheels were 18x8.5 (so 1/2" bigger thus 6mm ‘out’ more than stock) and ET38 (thus 7 mm ‘out’ more than stock) so that’s the equivalent of a 13mm spacer…and they STILL needed a ways to go. Probably another good 8mm on the rears.

So 20mm vs. stock on the rears on a B7. Of course the much better decision is to make the stockers your winters and get some nice 18x8.5 that are already a nice aggressive offset (i.e. 18x8.5 ET32 or something so you don’t have to mess with spacers.)

My old B7 S4 with the wheels in question (VMR708)…fronts were fine with these:

Yes I have the MTM 10MM on all 4 corners. IMO, the fronts actually look perfect while I think the rears could use about 4 - 6MM more in width to be perfect. I am slightly lowered, most people don’t realize I have coil overs because I’m just a tad lower than stock. I have run the car in a lower stance, while it looked fantastic it was a bitch everywhere I went (parking curbs, parking lot entrance/exits, speed bumps, snow, getting the car on ramps etc) so I went back up a bit. I’m contemplating dropping about a 1/4" all around in a month or two, letting it settle and then see where it’s at and how it works out.

Pics to follow, re: spacers.

cool

what tire size are you on? I want to grab 265 (30 or 35) or 275.30.19. I’m sure they’ll be fine at stock height with 10mm spacers.

#27

OEM - 255-35-19.

are H7R spacers any good? looking at 15mm for the rear

#30

Wow. NY 07, your car with 10mm’s all around looks perfect. Not to much, but jut right

#31

Thanks man. A touch lower and I’d be set but I’m still debating…

#32

NY07RS4 was right…I put the MTM 10mm spacers on the front and they look great. THe rears could definitely use a little more.

15mm rear + 10mm front would be great.

Have you removed the top bolt on the fender liner in the front? If not, do you notice any rubbing?

#34

no
no

stock ride height, stock tire width. Doubt I would be in a position to rub with 10mm spacers.

I am looking to go 275 though. Hopefully still no problem.

Anyone know if MTM has a 15mm spacer option?

#35

You might get some rubbing with the 275, but it will only be under hard cornering. I had spacers on my car when I bought it and it had NT05 275/30/19.

#36

stock ride height?

thanks

#37

Yes. You should probably remove the bolt anyways, doesn’t really do anything as far as I can tell. I would hate to bottom it out and bend the fender.

#38

yeah stockimano, remove that bolt

#39

I don’t know guys…that sounds like a mod. Then badbluers4 and his buddies will say I’m cheating.

I may actually be doing an exhaust mod here soon. No longer stockimano. I wanted to wait till I had the fastest stock time. Now that I’ve fone 12.75 hopefully that will be safe lol. Maybe end of summer I’ll have my first mod(s) done.

#40

piggies w/ stock catback is my guess, maybe a tune too? It’d be cool to see a 12.5 with those mods and no carbon clean, good talking point with the ‘3.0T is king because I bought one’ crowd
