About This Audi S4 Premium Plus 2018 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi S4 Premium Plus 2018 sits on a set of 19×9.5 / 19×9.5-inch Forgestar CF10 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Forgestar 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 Forgestar CF10 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Forgestar CF10 on the Audi S4 Premium Plus 2018
I walked around this B9 S4 at the meet, and the fitment is spot on. We are looking at a 19x9.5 setup wrapped in a clean square configuration. That extra width over the stock wheels really changes how the car plants itself on the pavement.
The 35 offset is the secret sauce here. It pushes the face of the Forgestar CF10 right out to the edge of the fender. You get that flush look without needing a bunch of spacers that just add headaches.
We checked the clearance on those big S4 calipers, and the CF10 barrel design swallows them easily. There is plenty of room to spare, so you don't have to worry about the spokes kissing the brake housing. It is a perfect structural match.
Forgestar nails the hub bore sizing for Audi, so you get a vibration-free ride right out of the box. No hub rings meant we could bolt these up and hit the road immediately. It keeps the steering feel sharp and direct.
The lowering springs on this car tighten up that wheel arch gap significantly. That drop brings the tire right up to the fender liner, which is exactly where you want it. It makes the 19-inch wheels look purposeful rather than just aesthetic.
You have to watch the inner fender liners on hard dips, though. With a 9.5-inch width, you are right on the edge of the clearance limit. If you plan to track this car, keep an eye on your alignment specs to avoid any unwanted rubbing.
What We Recommend for Audi S4 Premium Plus 2018 Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 19-inch diameter. Going up to 20s usually ruins the ride quality on these S4s and makes them feel twitchy. Keep your sidewall meat to protect those expensive wheels from potholes.
We always suggest a square setup for these cars. Rotating your tires is a huge money saver, and it keeps the Quattro system happy. Staggered setups on an S4 are just for show and usually hurt your performance.
For offsets, stay between 30 and 35. Anything lower than 30 will poke way too far, and you will be shredding your fenders on every bump. Stick to our 35-offset sweet spot if you want that flush, professional look.
Don't cheap out on tires when you move to a 9.5-inch wheel. You need a performance tire with a decent sidewall profile to handle the torque. We see too many guys running undersized rubber that looks stretched and unsafe.
Skip the cheap spacers unless you absolutely need them for specific brake clearance. Every spacer you add is just another point of failure for your wheel bearings. Do the math once and get the right offset from the start.
Style and Build Analysis
The Anthracite finish is a killer choice for this B9 chassis. It catches the light just enough to show off the spoke details without being flashy. It looks classy parked at a show but aggressive while you are hitting a back road.
The CF10 design features ten thin, elegant spokes that open up the wheel. It lets you see those factory brake calipers clearly, which adds to the performance aesthetic. It feels lighter and more nimble than the chunky factory wheels.
I love how the Anthracite hue bridges the gap between dark and light paint jobs. It works perfectly with the silver window trim and the blacked-out grille elements on the S4. The contrast is subtle but intentional.
This car has a presence that screams "daily driver" but with a secret identity. It does not look like a race car, but it definitely looks like it belongs to someone who knows their way around a car build. The proportions feel factory-plus.
Compared to other builds we see with gaudy chrome or oversized rims, this one is pure class. It follows the lines of the Audi body rather than fighting against them. It is a masterclass in clean, functional modification.
Why We Love This Build
When the sun hits those Anthracite spokes, the depth of the finish really pops. The 19x9.5 wheels fill the wheel arches perfectly, giving the S4 a hunkered-down, muscular stance that makes it look ready to pounce. It is the perfect balance of form and function.
We see a lot of cars at these meets, but this one stopped us in our tracks. It is simple, effective, and executed with absolute precision. Seeing it parked in the light makes me want to pull the trigger on a set for my own garage immediately.
Stop overthinking your wheel choice and just go with this setup. It turns an already great Audi into a head-turning masterpiece. Do it right the first time.

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