Should I go with a new set up with rims and snow tires... 18s or possibly 19s..

What additional equipement would I need, ie spacers ect...

Just planning for the Idaho Winters.

 

Definitely - I am trying to find some replica wheels to mount my winters. I've found some in the $300/wheel range. If I can get some RS4 OEMs from someone on an Audi board, I'll do that. I'd recommend an inch narrower than stock and running 235s instead of 255s.

Dunlop Winter Sport M3s are great winter tires.

 

Keep in in the loop , because I know nothing about those.. I will probably go with the same setup that you are going to go with

 

If I find a good setup, I'll let you know. I need to find the proper offset for 19x8 before I order the wheels. Here is the place I've been checking...

Better stick with 18s ,smaller and narrower for winter wheels/tires setup is better ,I had Hankook icebar w300 on my B5 S4 and those did really good job during the winter.

 

Had Blizzak WS-50s on our B6 S4 during some nasty Swedish winters on old-style 18" RS4s - they were nothing but awesome.

 

I'm not sure if 18s will clear the monster brakes...

 

I have an 18 that will clear. Snow packs are our specialty. Call me...

 

Obviously 18's.
