Not sure what or why Audi had trouble but would like to see if anyone else had this issue.
My car except the wheels is completely standard due to insurance cost, I would love to chip the car but insurance is high already (maybe a poll to find out car spec v's insurance cost...?. Anyway the newer S4 wheels have been fitted on the car for the last 6+ mths.
Short version - Brake warning light came on, so took the car to Audi who checked the brakes. Rear brakes all seemed fine, Front pads down to metal - Audi replaced the front disc's and pads (standard). Audi then phoned to let me know that they could not get the wheels back on the car and I need to spend £300+ to get the wheels fitted. This is the cost for spacers, longer bolts and extra labour.
The spacers are H&R which I've been told are good spacers...? With the spacers on (10mm) the wheels now sit level with the wheel arch, which I think all looks wrong.
This thread is more on feedback to see if anyone else had this issue getting bigger wheel back on after replacing the pads / discs, if not to let you guys know that newer S4 wheels will not fit fully on B5 S4.
I Should have stuck with my original plan to get the old type RS4 wheels which most of you have which look very good on the A4/S4.
