Nope, too big.
Those are 2.2" wheels. Now if you have a Super RS4 Rally (shaft drive) they'll fit

These are the ones that come stock on the rs4 rally:

If the stock ones were good enough for you, then you're in luck because they have them in stock. These are getting hard to find too, at least in stock.
No idea on shipping from this store though.
If you're looking for knobby tires, I've got no idea if any company even made a 26mm set.

Thanks, MatJam. I'll look into them. I put mine on cement, the stock tires on road are wearing out. (5 years old..) thanks all.

Collector, some normal street tires like HPI's X-patterns should do you dandy.

My personal experience is go with some HPI Pirelli T Rally tires, and not the HPI spikes. If you even touch cement with the spikes they'll wear down to slicks very quick. The Pirelli's on the other hand are great tires for on and off road running, they are the only rally tires I'll even buy anymore.
Here's a picture showing the two.

I agree, the Pirelli's are a long lasting tread. I've got the same set on my rally for over 5 years now.
The X-pattern is a good tread too, especially on pave and cement. You can get belted ones too if you've got a really fast car.
