BBS wheels thread

It’s not that they don’t offer their wheels in a 5x112 bolt pattern. The offsets they offer in 5x112 just aren’t conducive to the B8 S4. The example you showed is pretty representative of most styles. The 19x9.5" comes in ET29 and ET50 where the ideal offset in that size is somewhere between ET38 and ET45. The 19x8.5" comes in ET45 where stock is ET43. 18x9" comes in ET49 where the ideal offset would be ET35-ET40.

The best bet for Volk’s is some of the newer 20" sizes (G2, G12, G25, G27). 18" and 19" options are pretty non-existent other than a couple 19x8.5" options that still aren’t completely ideal.

Trust me, I spent a lot of time looking, and even talking to Mackin (their distributor) to see what options we had. The other issue is that a lot of 5x112 fitments are nearly impossible to get, or they do a very limited run like once a year.

conducive?

tending to produce; contributive; helpful; favorable

Maybe not the best adjective, but I was going for the favorable part…

So did you buy them? XD
I have not yet warmed up to these really modern wheel designs personally. Not sure how it would look like on a B8.
If I were going BBS, I’d stick with the CHR/LM/LMR out of personal preference (aesthetics only).

These belong to my friend. We’ll see how they look on his F80. I inquired about Audi fitments. The max size I’d want is 19 x 9.
