Title: 19" wheels/suspension query
Post by: berg on December 30, 2010, 04:48:57 pm
Am thinking of putting the 19" RS4 alloys on as think they look great in the wheel thread. However, was also looking to fit the Bilstein B12.

Are both of these mods possible or would they rub on the arches? If not think will leave B12 off and stick with WALK/ARB's.

Thanks in advance

I had 19" rotiforms on mine with Bilstein B16s and they were ok, only wound down about 25mm.

It will depennd on offset, rim width, tyre size, etc.... Lot's of threads on here discussing it so it may take a while finding all the relevant info on fitting 19's and suspension drops....

These will be fine with the b12. Have fitted plenty of 19" wheels with this kit with no clearance issues :happy2:

P.s still waiting on the Germans regarding the b12 kit, will be in touch asap rwgarding a cost and will charge the equivalent of 17.5% vat also.
