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 19×10 / 19×10-inch Vossen CVT wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Vossen 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 Vossen CVT creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Vossen CVT on the Audi S4 Base 2013
I walked around this B8.5 S4 for an hour at the meet. The Vossen CVT setup in 19x10 with a +36 offset sits perfectly under those factory arches. It transforms the sedan into something way more aggressive.
Running a 19x10 square setup on an S4 pushes the boundaries of the chassis. The +36 offset sits flush with the fenders without needing massive spacers. I noticed the poke is subtle but purposeful.
The CVT design offers decent caliper clearance, which is a major win. You don't want these spokes kissing your front brakes. The hub bore matches up tight, so the wheels stay hub-centric for zero vibration.
Since this owner runs air suspension, the fitment changes drastically throughout the day. When aired out, the lip tucks just inside the fender edge. It creates that iconic look every Audi owner chases.
Watch out for the inner fender liner if you drive low. A wide 10-inch wheel can rub the carpet liner on full lock. Keep an eye on those tight clearance points during your first test drive.
The concave profile of the CVT looks incredible in this size. It adds visual weight to the middle of the wheel. It makes the car look like it has a much wider track than stock.
The barrel depth on these 19x10s gives the car a deep, dark aesthetic. You get plenty of room for wide rubber, which improves your grip. It is a bold choice that pays off in style points.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Base 2013 Owners
If you want this look, start with the right wheel width. A 19x9.5 or 19x10 is the sweet spot for the B8.5 chassis. Anything wider and you are asking for rubbing headaches.
Stick to offsets between +35 and +40 for the best flush fit. This range keeps your scrub radius in check. You want the wheels to stand out, not destroy your wheel bearings.
I suggest a square setup for better handling and rotation. You can rotate your tires and keep the wear even. Staggered setups look cool, but they confuse the Quattro system sometimes.
Don't ignore your tire choice. A slightly stretched tire makes the fender clearance much easier to manage. A 255/35/19 tire works wonders on a 10-inch wheel. It gives you that crisp, clean edge.
Avoid cheap spacers if you need them. Buy high-quality, hub-centric spacers from a reputable brand. Your lug bolts take a beating, so use extended bolts if you go that route.
Always roll your fenders if you plan to drive slammed. A little work now saves your paint and your rubber later. It is cheap insurance for a clean, expensive build.
Style and Build Analysis
The black finish on these CVTs pops against the factory paint. It gives the S4 a dark, menacing vibe that fits the "stealth" theme perfectly. The contrast makes the wheels look like they are spinning even when parked.
Vossen’s directional design creates a sense of constant motion. The spokes sweep toward the back of the car. It looks like the S4 is moving forward even while idling at a red light.
The stance defines this build. Air suspension allows the car to hug the ground, which highlights the aggressive wheel poke. It changes the proportions of the Audi, making it look much lower and wider.
Compared to other builds, this one keeps things simple. It doesn't rely on gaudy body kits or wild colors. It focuses on high-quality wheels and a killer drop to do the talking.
I love how the black finish hides the brake dust. You get a clean look for days, not just for the trip to the show. It is the perfect balance of form and functional style.
Why We Love This Build
This Audi S4 captures everything I love about the modified scene. The way the Black Vossen CVTs disappear into the shadows of the wheel wells is pure art. When the sun hits the paint, the whole car looks like a piece of polished obsidian rolling down the street.
It fills the arches with absolute precision. Seeing it air out at the show makes me want to start a new project immediately. It is the perfect blend of luxury and raw, aggressive street presence.
This car proves that you do not need to overcomplicate things to be the best in the lot. It is clean, it is loud, and it is perfectly executed. Go out and build your own masterpiece.

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