A couple of questions for the winter tyre experts. I am a big fan of winter tyres and on my old car (A4 Avant B6) I have a set of Conti Winter Contacts on (Audi) 15" steel wheels that replace the 17" alloys with Goodyear F1 Assy that I use the rest of the year. I got the wheels from Audi since they were the ones that were fitted to base model A4s then with plastic wheel trims.
Now I've just bought a 2017 S4 Avant with 19" wheels. Chatting to the dealer, they said the smallest wheels that will fit the S4 calipers are 18" and this is borne out by the German configurator. A set of Audi 18" alloys for that car cost a fortune so even Audi themselves suggested picking up a set of second hand ones via someone upgrading or a set of BBS or whoever.
Does anyone know the PCN and offset for the 18" wheels? Audi didn't have a clue. I've found info online but want to get confirmation before I buy.
I plan to put my favourite Conti Winter Contacts on again since these are bl**dy impressive in the ice and snow. My 2WD B6 pulled like a train in all sorts of weather a few years back.
The Germans have it sorted, but Audi UK don't sell the specific winter wheels available in Germany. I've asked a dealer contact there for a price but in the meantime, sorely tempted to aftermarket for the cost difference in the rims but I don't want my car to look like a dogs dinner with them fitted.
What have others done?
