Default Wheel fitment help please.

Does anyone know if these wheels http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Origi...79323122QQrdZ1 will fit my 87 S4

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Should fit fine. Front is a little lower than the ideal 65mm, but other have gone 50mm with no major issues. My guess is back should be fine as well. I was looking at those all week, but I think I'm gonna wait a little longer before rim'ing up.

Think the tires are close to correct side wall as well. You'll most likely go wider when you get new rubber.

Hard to see the curb rash in the pics, but is doesn't look too bad.

Those are actually fairly rare....the 9" rear with 70mm offset will fit great on the FRONT of a 928.....then you could run a 265 front tire!! Get another pair of rears...& run 265's all the way around!!

The fronts will fit fine. The front tires are the wrong size though. 205 is pretty skinny for a front engine 928. I would recommend you find some new or used 225/50-16 rubber for the front. I've got 55ET on the front of my car with 225/45-17 tires.

The rear offset is really off so you'll need a pretty big spacer to set the wheels out. I think stock ET is around 53ET. My rear ET is 55 and I've got a 21mm spacer to push the wheels as far out to the edges as they can go without rolling the fenders.

That is cheap for wheels and tires. They're doable and will still be a pretty good deal with new front rubber and spacers.
