ET35 Rotor/Ronal Copies on an S4

[Scott.T]

Will these fit a 2010 S4 (8.5x19 ET35) without rubbing.
I know it's only 8mm more poke, but not sure there's 8mm to play with.

I assume my OE RS4 Style are ET43 (the same as my previous A4 BE Rotor's 8.5x19 ET43)

After knocking up some temporary 8mm spacers to replicate the offset change fro ET43 to ET35 I cannot see how some A4/S4 Owners are fitting 9 inch+ rims.

The 19x8.5 ET35 in my opinion is as wide as you would want to go on the front. The back seems happy to accommodate more but the front is verging on poking out beyond the arch, which starts to look a touch strange and shouts 'WRONG OFFSET' to me.

There is also no rollback of the arch lip on the front along with an inner liner mounting clip/bolt.

I'm still not convinced that the S4 has the same track as my A4 B8.5, as the S4 certainly seems to have a slightly wider tack when viewed from the rear.

It reminds me of years ago when Ford Fiesta and Escort owners were putting Rostyle wheels on, not realising that the Cortina Offset was the correct one to use and the Capri one wasn't....LOL........

A 19x8.5 ET35 will poke 8mm more then the standard 19x8.5 ET43

But a 19x9 ET35 will poke 14.4mm more, so an additional 6.5mm which just seems way to much if applied to the image of the front above.

The only way I can see it working is dropping to a 235 or 245 tyre. Not keen on the stretched look.

Just get the rotors for a S4 at ET43

Only originals appear available in ET43. Copies are either ET45, ET35 or ET30.
