About This Audi S4 Base 2011 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S4 Base 2011 sits on a set of 20×9 / 20×9-inch VMR V710 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose VMR 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 VMR V710 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: VMR V710 on the Audi S4 Base 2011
I walked around this B8 S4 last weekend and the fitment is spot on. We are looking at a 20x9 square setup that fills those arches perfectly. The 35 offset pushes the face out just enough to sit flush with the fenders.
The 35 offset is the magic number for the B8 platform. It clears the beefy factory front calipers without needing any annoying spacers. You get a clean look that does not sacrifice the hub integrity.
Those VMR V710s feature a classic mesh design that looks right at home on an Audi. The 20-inch diameter is aggressive for this chassis. It tightens up the visual bulk of the car significantly.
We checked the inner clearance near the control arms and found plenty of room. You will not have to worry about hitting your suspension components under full lock. The design of the barrel also keeps weight manageable.
The owner runs these on coilovers to dial in the height. Lowering the car is the only way to make 20s look proportional on an S4. Without the drop, you would be riding around like a monster truck.
Watch out for rubbing if you go too wide with your tire choice. A 245 or 255 width tire is the sweet spot here. Anything wider might kiss the fender liner on big bumps.
The hub bore fits the Audi spec perfectly so you avoid vibration issues. Everything bolts up tight and feels solid at highway speeds. This is how you build a street car that actually drives well.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Base 2011 Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 19 or 20-inch range. 18s look a bit lost in the B8 wheel wells. 20s provide that premium, aggressive presence we love.
Always aim for an offset between 35 and 40 for this car. Anything lower than 35 will poke too much and ruin your paint. Anything higher than 40 looks sunken and weak.
We prefer a square setup for the B8 S4. It keeps the Quattro system happy and makes tire rotations easy. Staggered setups on these cars often cause unnecessary headaches with the differential.
Don't skip on quality tires just to save a few bucks. You need a good performance summer tire to handle the power of that supercharged V6. Cheap rubber will just understeer and waste your hard work.
A mild fender roll is never a bad idea if you plan to slam the car. It gives you a little extra insurance against rubbing during hard cornering. Most guys skip it, but we like to be safe.
Avoid cheap wheel spacers if you can help it. They introduce too many variables that lead to steering wheel shimmy. Get the right offset from the start and do it once.
Style and Build Analysis
The matte black finish against the factory paint creates a sinister vibe. It tones down the flashy lines of the S4 and gives it a track-ready aesthetic. This car looks like it belongs in a dark tunnel.
The V710 mesh pattern mimics the complexity of high-end BBS wheels. It adds a layer of depth that silver wheels just cannot match. The spokes draw your eye straight to the center of the wheel.
Proportions matter more than anything else in this hobby. By matching the 20x9 spec on all four corners, the owner creates a balanced silhouette. The car looks purposeful rather than just modified.
Compared to other B8 builds we feature, this one feels refined. Many guys go too wild with neon colors or massive lips. This build shows that restraint creates a much stronger result.
The stance is aggressive but functional enough for daily driving. You can tell this car gets driven hard on back roads. It does not just sit pretty at the local cars and coffee.
Why We Love This Build
I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this Audi roll into the lot. The matte black V710s absorb the light, making the car look like a predator ready to strike. The way the wheels tuck just inside the fender lip is pure automotive art.
This build represents the perfect middle ground between daily driver and weekend warrior. It captures that elusive "factory plus" aesthetic that takes years to master. You look at it and just know the owner spent hours dialing in the height.
We feature a lot of cars, but this one sticks in our minds. It makes us want to clear out the garage and start another project immediately. Stop dreaming about it and go buy the wheels.

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 20×9 / 20×9-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 20×9 / 20×9-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
