About This Audi S4 Premium Plus 2020 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S4 Premium Plus 2020 sits on a set of 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch TSW Bathurst wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose TSW for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Audi S4 Premium Plus builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the TSW Bathurst creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: TSW Bathurst on the Audi S4 Premium Plus 2020
I walked around this B9 S4 at the show yesterday and the TSW Bathurst setup immediately caught my eye. Running a 19x8.5 square setup with a +32 offset is a smart move for this chassis. It perfectly fills the wheel wells without looking like a roller skate.
That +32 offset pushes the face of the wheel right where it belongs on an Audi. It sits nearly flush with the fender line without poking out like a tuner car from 2005. You get that clean, European aesthetic that Audi owners crave.
The TSW Bathurst uses a rotary forged process, which keeps the unsprung weight low. That matters when you are throwing a heavy luxury sedan into a tight corner. These wheels clear the beefy S4 calipers with room to spare, so you don't need to hunt for clearance spacers.
We checked the hub bore and it is a direct fit for the Audi 66.5mm hub. No vibrations, no hub-centric ring headaches, and no steering wheel wobble at highway speeds. You get that factory-like precision that makes daily driving a dream.
The lowering springs on this car tighten up the fender gap just enough to close the wheel arch. It puts the top of the tire right where the fender curve begins. The drop keeps the geometry sane while killing that massive factory gap.
I looked closely at the inner barrel and there is plenty of room for suspension components. You will not find any rubbing on the plastic liners or the control arms during full lock. It is a tight, calculated fit that works flawlessly in the real world.
The split-spoke design gives the wheel a complex, expensive look that pops under the arches. It creates a sense of depth that a standard five-spoke wheel just cannot match. This is exactly how you dial in a B9 platform.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Premium Plus 2020 Owners
If you own a B9 S4, stick to the 19-inch diameter for the best balance. Anything bigger kills the ride quality, and anything smaller looks lost in the massive arches. 8.5 to 9 inches is the sweet spot for width.
Always aim for an offset between +30 and +35 for a flush look. If you go lower than +30, you risk rubbing the fenders once you lower the car. If you go higher than +40, the wheels will look sunken and weak.
We always suggest a square setup for these cars. You want to be able to rotate your tires to extend their life. Staggered setups on an AWD Audi are just asking for center differential issues down the road.
Do not cheap out on tires when you upgrade your wheels. A sticky summer tire like a Michelin PS4S will transform the way this car puts power to the ground. Pair these Bathursts with a quality rubber and you will feel the difference in every turn.
Watch your tire profile if you plan on going lower than a one-inch drop. A 245/35 or 255/35 setup is perfect for the 8.5-inch width. It gives you a clean sidewall look without looking like a rubber band or a balloon.
Style and Build Analysis
The Gunmetal finish on these Bathursts looks incredible against the Audi paint. It is a sophisticated, understated color that changes character depending on the light. It has enough metallic flake to stand out but enough darkness to hide brake dust.
The thin spokes draw your eye straight to the center of the wheel. It highlights the rotors and the S4 calipers, making the braking system look intentional. It is a mature, performance-oriented look that suits the personality of the car.
Compared to the factory wheels, this build feels purposeful and sharp. The stock wheels always look a bit generic and over-styled on these cars. The TSW Bathurst adds a touch of aggression without crossing into "look at me" territory.
The stance is aggressive but remains functional for the street. You can actually drive this car over a speed bump or into a driveway without cringing. That is the hallmark of a well-planned street build.
The overall proportions of the B9 chassis benefit immensely from this design choice. The wheels fill the visual space perfectly, creating a sense of balance. This car looks faster just sitting still in the parking lot.
Why We Love This Build
This Audi S4 is a masterclass in clean, effective modification. The Gunmetal TSW Bathurst wheels turn the car from a standard luxury sedan into a tuned street machine. Every time the sun hits those spokes, the car looks like it belongs on a magazine cover.
The way the wheels sit flush with the fenders makes the whole car look planted and heavy. It gives the S4 a hunkered-down, ready-to-pounce stance that demands respect from everyone on the road. We see a lot of builds, but this one hits the bullseye.
You can tell the owner put real thought into every single bolt and measurement. It is not loud or flashy, just undeniably cool. Do yourself a favor and get your car dialed in exactly like this.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi S4 Premium Plus owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch wheels fit my Audi S4 Premium Plus? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Audi S4 Premium Plus owners run 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
