About This Audi S4 Base 2007 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S4 Base 2007 sits on a set of 19×8.5 / 19×9-inch Niche Targa wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Niche 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 Base builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the Niche Targa creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Niche Targa on the Audi S4 Base 2007
I walked around this B7 S4 for twenty minutes just to soak in the lines. Putting Niche Targa wheels on this chassis changes the entire personality of the car. We are looking at a 19x8.5 front and 19x9 rear setup. It fills the arches perfectly without looking like a circus wagon.
The front offset sits at 42 while the rear pushes out to 35. That slight difference gives the car a much wider, planted stance. It pushes the wheels right to the edge of the fender liner. You get that aggressive look without the tires chewing up your paint.
Caliper clearance on these B7s is usually a headache, but the Targa spoke design handles it well. I checked the gap between the spokes and the S4 brakes and it clears with room to spare. You will not need to run massive spacers just to keep things moving. It feels like a factory-engineered fitment.
The hub bore matches up nicely with the Audi platform. We hate dealing with cheap hub rings that vibrate at highway speeds. These wheels sit dead true on the hubs. That means no annoying steering wheel shimmy when you push the car hard.
I crawled under the car to check the clearance on the inner barrels. Even with the lowering springs, the setup stays clear of the suspension arms. The springs pull the center of gravity down and tuck those 19s deep into the wheel wells. It creates a cohesive look that factory cars just cannot match.
Watch out for the front liner if you drive over big potholes. The 8.5 width up front is safe, but you are right at the limit of the fender lip. If you slam this thing any lower, you might hear a slight rub on hard cornering. Take it easy on the steep driveways and you will be fine.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Base 2007 Owners
If you want to run this setup, stick to 19s. Anything smaller looks lost in these big wheel arches. 18s are great for track work, but 19s are the sweet spot for a clean street look. It balances the visual weight of the car perfectly.
I always tell guys to avoid the temptation of massive staggered setups. A 19x8.5 all around is the easiest path to a clean fitment. If you choose to go staggered like this build, keep the offsets within five millimeters of each other. It keeps the handling characteristics predictable and safe.
Don't ignore your tire choices when you buy these wheels. Go with a performance summer tire with a slightly rounded sidewall. It prevents that boxy look that ruins the flow of the Niche Targa spokes. A little stretch goes a long way toward that tucked-in aesthetic.
If you go for a square setup, you can rotate your tires to make them last longer. That saves you cash in the long run. Staggered setups look cooler, but you lose the ability to rotate. Decide what matters more to your wallet before you pull the trigger.
Avoid cheap, thick spacers at all costs. If you need them for clearance, buy hub-centric ones from a reputable brand. A bad spacer ruins your wheel bearings and destroys your ride quality. Do it right the first time or do not do it at all.
Style and Build Analysis
The Machined Black finish creates a high-contrast look that pops. Dark wheels often get lost in the shadows, but the machined faces catch the light. It makes the wheel design stand out against the curves of the B7 body. It is a bold choice that works with almost any paint color.
I love the multi-spoke design of the Targa. It feels modern but keeps a slight nod to classic European touring cars. The spokes thin out toward the edge, which makes the wheels look even bigger than 19 inches. It gives the S4 a fast, light look even when it is standing still.
Proportions are everything in this game. The way the wheels fill the space between the fender and the tire is spot on. Lowering springs dropped the ride height just enough to kill the gap. It makes the car look like it was meant to leave the factory this way.
Compared to other B7 builds we see, this one feels refined. Too many guys go for wild, gaudy wheels that distract from the car. The Niche Targa complements the Audi aesthetic rather than fighting it. It elevates the S4 without making it look like a toy.
The road presence of this car is undeniable now. You can spot the machined faces from a block away as they spin. It looks like a high-end luxury sedan that just finished a lap at the Nürburgring. This build perfectly balances form and function.
Why We Love This Build
We love this build because it feels honest and purposeful. The Machined Black Niche Targa wheels look sharp against the clean lines of this Audi. When the sun hits the spokes, the whole car lights up in a way that stock wheels never could. It sits low on those springs, filling the arches with intent and precision.
You can see the care that went into every single choice here. It does not try too hard to be flashy or over the top. Instead, it offers a clean, aggressive look that turns heads at every red light. This is exactly how you modify a classic German sports sedan. Build it right and drive it hard.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi S4 Base owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×8.5 / 19×9-inch wheels fit my Audi S4 Base? 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 Base owners run 19×8.5 / 19×9-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
