About This Audi S4 Base 2013 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S4 Base 2013 sits on a set of 19×9.5 / 19×9.5-inch Avant-Garde M590 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Avant-Garde 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 Avant-Garde M590 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Avant-Garde M590 on the Audi S4 Base 2013
I walked up to this B8.5 S4 and immediately knew the fitment was dialed. We are looking at a square 19x9.5 setup wrapped in the Avant-Garde M590 design. Running a 40 offset on all four corners fills those arches perfectly without looking forced.
The 9.5-inch width pushes the wheels right to the edge of the fenders. We checked the clearance against the massive factory calipers and found plenty of room. The M590 spoke profile clears the S4 brakes easily.
You need to mind the hub bore on these wheels to avoid vibrations. This set fits the Audi 66.6 center bore without any sketchy adapter rings. A direct fitment keeps the highway drive smooth and stable.
The coilovers really change the game for this specific chassis. By dropping the ride height, we tucked the tires just enough to avoid rubbing during hard cornering. You get that aggressive stance without ripping up your fender liners.
Watch out for the inner suspension arms when you go this wide. A 9.5-inch barrel can get tight near the strut housing if your offset is wrong. The 40 offset here acts as the magic number for a clean, flush result.
The split-spoke design of the M590 carries weight well visually. It gives the illusion of a larger wheel while keeping the barrel deep enough to look purposeful. It feels like a high-end factory performance wheel.
I advise you to check your alignment specs after installing this setup. You want just enough negative camber to tuck the top of the tire. This keeps the car tracking straight and looking sharp.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Base 2013 Owners
If you own a B8 or B8.5 S4, stick to the 19-inch diameter. Anything larger ruins the ride quality on our rough city streets. We find 19x9.5 to be the gold standard for this platform.
Aim for an offset between 35 and 40 for that flush look. If you go lower than 35, you will likely battle fender rub on bumps. Stick to the 40 offset to keep your tire shoulders tucked safely.
We almost always suggest a square setup for these Quattro cars. It allows you to rotate your tires and keeps the drivetrain happy. Forget about staggered setups unless you are only building a show queen.
Don't be afraid to run a slight stretch on your tires. A 255/35/19 tire works beautifully on a 9.5-inch wide wheel. It gives you that crisp sidewall look and prevents the rubber from bulging out.
Avoid cheap spacers if you can help it. Buying wheels with the correct offset from the start is always the smarter move. It keeps your wheel bearings healthy and your steering feel direct.
Style and Build Analysis
The Machined finish on these M590s pops against the car’s paint. It catches the sun and adds a layer of sophistication to the aggressive Audi body lines. Silver-toned finishes never go out of style.
The M590 design mimics the classic mesh look but stays modern and clean. It balances the S4’s professional image with a bit of aftermarket edge. We love how the spokes flow toward the center cap.
Proportions are everything when you mod a German sedan. This car looks planted, wide, and ready to attack a mountain road. It avoids the "donk" look by keeping the tire sidewall meaty enough to be functional.
I have seen hundreds of B8 builds, but this one hits differently. The restraint shown in the wheel choice elevates the whole car. It doesn't scream for attention, yet you cannot look away.
The machined surface reflects the light perfectly during sunset drives. It bridges the gap between luxury and pure performance. This build sets the bar for how a daily-driven S4 should look.
Why We Love This Build
When I saw this S4 rolling into the lot, the Machined M590s caught the light instantly. The stance is absolutely spot on, filling those wheel wells with surgical precision. The silver finish cuts through the dark paint like a blade, giving the car a premium, athletic look that feels right at home.
We love this build because it honors the Audi aesthetic while cranking up the aggression. It is a masterclass in selecting the right offset and width for a stock body. This car looks fast even when it sits perfectly still. Go grab a set for your own ride and join the club.

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 19×9.5 / 19×9.5-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 19×9.5 / 19×9.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
