Default FS: Cup Wheels, Tires

I have a few extra items that I need to sell. Right now these tires and wheels are mounted and can be sold together or separate.

As a note, if I reserve the right to sell to whomever pays me first or offers me the best deal.

First, I have a set of Sport Edition Cup 4 Wheels that are Brand New.
The front wheels are 18x8, Offset: 54mm Backspacing: 6.61" Bolt Pattern: 5-130. The rear wheels are 18x10, Offset: 58mm Backspacing: 7.79" Bolt Pattern: 5-130. $675 + shipping. BTW, shipping will be less than $100 anywhere in the U.S. Of course, the closer you live to Phoenix the cheaper it will be. Phoenix to New York City was about $100 for example.

Tires are brand new General Exclaim Ultra High Performance.

Front: 235/40/18
Rear: 285/35/18
Speed Rating: W

$500 + shipping.

From the manufacturer:

The Exclaim UHP is General Tire's Ultra High Performance Summer tire that was developed for the drivers of sports cars, coupes and sedans. While meeting minimum tread design standards to be "M+S" branded, the Exclaim UHP is designed to provide high levels of traction, response and control in dry conditions, along with superior hydroplaning resistance in wet conditions. We do not suggest Exclaim UHP tires be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The Exclaim UHP uses a 2nd generation, ultra high performance silica compound molded into a directional tread design that features wide, solid shoulder tread blocks and a high-tech contour to combine responsive handling with dry traction. Its Double-V directional tread pattern enhances wet performance. Together, the tread compound and design help sweep water away from between the tire’s contact patch and the road to improve wet grip while reducing the possibility of hydroplaning. The tire’s internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wound jointless nylon on top of polyester body plies to combine responsive handling and cornering stability with high-speed durability.

Will these wheels fit directly on '87 S4 or will require some spacers? Also, what about fender rolling?

Thanks!

Fits directly on an S4 without spacers. If you like the look of having the rear tires close to the fender, then a 7mm spacer is sufficient to bring the tire to the fender without rolling. This is not neccessary of course, just for that type of look.

BTW, shipping will be less than $100 anywhere in the U.S. Of course, the closer you live to Phoenix the cheaper it will be. Phoenix to New York City was about $100 for example.

Then stay with the trash cans. The only downside to the 16" wheels are lack of rear tire choices.

Trash lids - I have Falken tires on the back, but yea, not much choice outside of them.

Thanks

On my S4, I had plenty of room between the tire and fender. At least 10mm away from the un-rolled rear fender. I did not use any spacers for fitment. Front is not that aggressive as well. I chose the 18" rims and tires for this reason. However, I am not sure what the difference is between an 81 Euro and the 89 body as far as tire room. Maybe someone else could comment??
