Hello.

I put my BBS CH 8x18" ET 43 on today.

But why are my front wheels pooking so much out?
If i look over some of the treads i can see some of you are running ET40 without pooking.

Will it help when i get my FK coilover on (Dont know which FK coilover i should choose, help please)

I will try again next week, with 225/40 tyres on.

But it is the genuine wheel from the S4, so it is not because its some cheap shit from china.

Have through about that, but why would there be the exact same stamp on every wheel, if where was different ET.

Also, it could be due to the suspension travel. You have the front wheel pretty much unloaded in your picture. As you load the front up, the suspension may travel inwards towards the car, resulting in less poke. The rear suspension may not travel as far inward.
Its hard to say without actually mounting a tire to the wheel and trying it.

Have measured them now 23 cm in width and it looks like the ET are the same on all four wheels.

Do you have spacers or a hub ring accidentally on there?

Maybe a hub ring, could be.

I hope I can get my tires on tomorrow.


Thanks all for you :)
I will be back with some more pictures of the wheels with tyres on.
