Wow - what is with everyone putting these on backwards? The spokes are supposed to go the other way. Check Tony's thread, he had them wrong at first too, easy correction.

Hans,
The cup II's were 7x17 fronts and 9x17 rears

Thanks
Hans

Shane,
Thanks for the compliments! I think so too
I still need a pair of your aero mirrors to make her complete

I agree. Those wheels look like they should have been offered as an oem option for that body style.
Of course it helps having that nice graphite metallic paint too.
Darien, car is perfect. I would'nt change a thing except the headlamps.

Darien, looks fantastic! Did you have to roll the rear fenders? Those kumhos look great, sure can't bet the price for a massive tire like a 295/30 18. Can you spin them with the SC?

I was feeling a bit bad about the deal from your point of view.

No shortage of rubber now! Looks good 
.
Question - did you roll the fender lips up and/or the fender? I have some mere 285/30R18s on C4S 10x18 ET40 wheels .... and they are far too wide to fit under the S4 fenders.

Fred, No rolling required, and yes they will spin 
Those look great, I'm glad we're now both happy.

Rod, Well It took a little longer than I wanted, but I'm definately happy with them

Garth, No rolling reuired. I did take some of DR's advice and gave a little tug on each fender. While waiting for my tires, Tony let me borrow his Rivas and they were the first to rub on my Shark. I had to remove the spacers for them to fit. Offsets are key
