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 19×8.5 / 19×10-inch Rotiform LAS-R wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Rotiform 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 Rotiform LAS-R creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Rotiform LAS-R on the Audi S4 Base 2013
When I first walked around this B8.5 S4, the Rotiform LAS-R setup immediately grabbed my eyes. Running a 19x8.5 in the front and a 19x10 in the rear creates an aggressive, purposeful stance that transforms the factory look. This staggered approach respects the Audi Quattro platform while pushing the limits of the wheel arches.
The +35 offset sits perfectly flush with the fenders once you dump the car on air. We verified the clearance, and those massive Rotiform spokes clear the factory S4 calipers with room to spare. You will not deal with any annoying interference issues here.
The hub bore matches the Audi 66.6mm requirement perfectly, so you avoid vibration headaches. Because we chose a 19-inch diameter, the wheels fill the wheel wells without looking like cartoon wagon wheels. It keeps the proportions tight and track-focused.
The 10-inch rear width demands a careful tire choice to avoid rubbing the inner liner. With the air suspension fully aired out, the rear tire tucks right up against the fender lip. It is a precision dance of millimeters that requires professional alignment.
I noticed the barrel lip depth on the 10-inch rear wheels adds a serious level of dimension. The LAS-R design features that iconic motorsport-inspired multi-spoke face that looks fast even when the car is parked. The depth really pops when you view the car from a three-quarter angle.
If you go this route, watch your front fender liners closely at full lock. A slightly stretched tire profile helps keep the rubber away from the metal during turns. Keep your fender screws tucked away to save your paint.
This setup proves that aggressive fitment does not have to ruin the daily drivability of an S4. The air suspension allows you to raise it for the road and slam it for the show. It is the ultimate compromise for a street-driven machine.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Base 2013 Owners
If you want this look, start with the right wheel width. Do not go wider than 10 inches in the rear unless you plan on doing some heavy bodywork. Stick to the 19-inch diameter for the best balance of aesthetics and ride quality.
The +35 offset is the golden ratio for the B8.5 chassis. It pushes the wheels out just enough to kill the sunken factory look without needing widebody fenders. Any lower offset will likely force you to roll your fenders aggressively.
I suggest a mild tire stretch if you run the 10-inch rear. It prevents the sidewall from catching the fender lip during hard cornering or steep driveway transitions. Aim for a high-performance summer tire to keep the Quattro system happy.
Avoid massive spacers if you can help it. They introduce unnecessary stress on the wheel bearings and often lead to steering wheel shimmy. Buy the right offset from the start and you save yourself a massive headache.
Finally, invest in a proper air management system if you want to pull off this specific fitment. Static drops look cool, but they destroy your oil pan on our rough city streets. Air gives you the best of both worlds every single time.
Style and Build Analysis
The Matte Black finish on these LAS-R wheels creates a sinister contrast against the Audi silver paint. It strips away the unnecessary flash and focuses the viewer on the intricate spoke pattern. The wheels look like they belong on a DTM track car.
I love how the matte texture absorbs light rather than reflecting it. It makes the wheels look deeper and more substantial than a standard gloss black finish. It adds a layer of depth that changes depending on the time of day.
The design of the LAS-R is pure function disguised as style. Those spokes scream performance, drawing inspiration from classic rally wheels. They give the S4 a heavy, planted road presence that the stock wheels just cannot touch.
Compared to other builds I see at local meets, this one feels intentional. Many guys just slap on the cheapest wheels they can find and call it a day. This build shows that careful thought regarding color and offset pays off in the final result.
When the car sits on its air setup, the wheels frame the brakes perfectly. You see the massive calipers hiding behind the spokes, which signals that this car performs as good as it looks. It is a masterclass in modern street style.
Why We Love This Build
Seeing this S4 roll into the lot is a genuine highlight of my week. The way the matte black wheels disappear into the dark wheel arches when the car is aired out is pure art. It turns a sensible executive sedan into a menacing street weapon that begs to be driven hard.
The build captures exactly what we look for here at WheelFront. It is clean, purposeful, and executed with the kind of precision that makes other enthusiasts stop and stare. You can tell the owner spent hours dialing in the fitment to get that perfect tuck.
This car reminds me why we love the modification game. It makes an already great platform look like a million bucks. Go get yourself a set of these wheels and change your car forever.

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 / 19×10-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 / 19×10-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
