Hi,

as long as


the PCD is 5x100
the rim width does not exceed 8“
the offset ranges from about 25 to 30
the tyre size is 205/35R18 or 215/35R18


there won’t be any fitting and rubbing issues with 18“ rims. (with standard height springs).

However, if these RS4 type wheels do come with a different 5 hole mounting layout (5x112, 5x120 etc) and an offset of 45 to 55 for instance, then you have to mount adaptor spacers of 20 mm thickness each.
