About This Audi S4 Premium Plus 2014 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S4 Premium Plus 2014 sits on a set of 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch BBS CHR wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose BBS 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 Premium Plus builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the BBS CHR creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: BBS CHR on the Audi S4 Premium Plus 2014
I walked around this B8.5 S4 last week and the setup hits the mark perfectly. These 19x8.5 BBS CH-Rs give the car a purpose-built look that factory wheels just cannot touch. The 35 offset pushes the face out right to the edge of the fender line.
The 8.5-inch width is conservative but smart for this chassis. It keeps the steering feel sharp and avoids that heavy, sluggish sensation you get with wider, heavier wheels. We always push for this width because it balances aesthetics with daily usability.
Clearing those big Audi front calipers is the real test for any wheel. The CH-R design features a concave profile that gives us plenty of room to spare. I checked the gap between the spokes and the caliper, and there is zero worry about interference.
The hub bore fits the Audi 66.6mm center perfectly with the right rings. This eliminates any vibration at highway speeds, which is a common headache with cheaper aftermarket options. BBS builds these wheels with a level of precision that makes installation a breeze.
These lowering springs drop the car just enough to kill that nasty wheel gap. By bringing the fenders down to meet the tires, the car looks planted and aggressive. You get a much cleaner profile without sacrificing your spine over speed bumps.
I did notice the clearance is tight at the inner fender liner during full lock. If you run a tire with a square shoulder, you might hear a faint rub on steep driveways. It is a minor trade-off for a stance that looks this dialed in.
The signature stainless steel rim protector on the CH-R is a genius touch. It adds a bit of visual depth to the barrel and offers real protection against curb rash. This design detail makes the wheel look larger than it actually is.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Premium Plus 2014 Owners
If you own a B8.5 S4, stick to the 19-inch diameter for the best visual balance. Moving to 20s often kills the ride quality on these cars. We always recommend 19x8.5 or 19x9 for the perfect flush fitment.
Avoid the temptation to go staggered on this platform. The Quattro system hates different rolling diameters, so keep it square to save your center differential. Stick with the same wheel width at all four corners for predictable handling.
The ET35 offset is the absolute sweet spot for the stock body. It brings the wheel out enough to fill the arches without requiring major fender rolling or aggressive camber. I have seen guys go lower with offsets, but it ruins the handling.
Pair these wheels with a high-performance summer tire like a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. The rubber compound transforms how the car feels in the corners. Don't cheap out on tires when you are running premium wheels like BBS.
Do not use massive spacers if you can avoid them. They add unnecessary stress to your wheel bearings and ruin the scrub radius. If the wheel fits correctly, you should not need anything thicker than a 3mm slip-on plate.
Style and Build Analysis
The silver finish on these CH-Rs looks timeless against the Audi’s paint. It catches the light during the golden hour and highlights the intricate spoke pattern. This color choice keeps the build classy instead of shouting for attention.
I love how the Y-spoke design draws your eyes toward the center cap. It is a classic BBS look that feels right at home on a German sedan. The design manages to look both mechanical and elegant at the same time.
Compared to the standard peelers, these wheels make the car look wider. The proportions are spot on because the design does not distract from the body lines. It elevates the car without looking like a tuner experiment.
When the car sits still, the stance looks incredibly purposeful. You can tell the owner knows exactly what they are doing with their budget. It is a masterclass in how to modify an Audi without going over the top.
The contrast between the bright silver and the dark shadows of the wheel arches adds drama to the profile. Every time the car rolls through the lot, the wheels provide a smooth, consistent visual motion. It is just a very cohesive package.
Why We Love This Build
This S4 perfectly captures the spirit of a daily-driven performance machine. When the light hits the silver BBS finish, the car looks like it is moving even while parked. The stance is aggressive enough to turn heads, but it maintains the factory sophistication of the Audi platform.
We see a lot of cars, but this one stops us in our tracks because of its restraint. It is not trying too hard; it just looks right. The wheels fill the arches with intent and grace, creating a profile that feels complete and polished.
If you want a car that looks sharp in the office parking lot and kills it on a canyon run, this is your blueprint. Go get this setup and never look back.

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