Hi all iam new to this forum so please be kind lol
i have a audi a8 d2 pf 4.2. at the moment is has standard 16 inc monoblock wheels. i found a set of 18inc s8 wheels will they fit? do i need spacers? i have been told by some they wont fit. iam a bit lost i think only an a8 owner would know.

Welcome :) We're all very nice here :D

S8 18s will fit your 4.2 just fine.

Welcome.+++

Welcome from me. The 18s will fit no problem, and they will help fill the wheel arches and give the car a better stance. As for spacers, some people fit them just to bring the wheels that little bit extra to the outside. Use the Search feature and check through the photos people have posted and you'll get the idea.

You might also want to update your details to give us an idea where you are.

My Facelift has 18" Avus (OEM) wheels with 15mm spacers. the spacers just help the wheels fill the arches better. Oh, and welcome +++
