[Biturbos4] B5 wheels

[mike]

My thoughts was wheel & tyre centre moves (45-20)=25mm out, inner face of tyre moves 25-(255-225)/2 = 12.5mm out and outer face of tyre moves 25+(255-225)/2 = 37.5mm out

List opinion seems to be “if you want to run RS4 wheels then buy an RS4”

Thanks to all that responded
