Newbie to Q7 but not to VWAF!

[neilos100]

Hello all...
In the process of completing a purchase of a used Q7 S Line. I used to be quite active on the A6 C6 forums but then things happened and I have been away for a while. In the meantime I swapped my A6 Avant for a BMW 520 Touring....nice car but there's just something about an Audi which I love. So....chopping in the BMW to get back to Audi.

I have a question....
Now it's the best time to buy a set of winter tyres and wheels off Ebay as demand is low....BUT I am getting conflicting information about PCD.....some sites say 5x112 and some 5x130....so which is it? And the offset?
The q7 is coming with 21 inch tyres and I don't mind dropping an inch or two.
Many thanks in advance and good to be back!
Neil

If the winter is harsh in your are then I would suggest to go for the 19” rims. The distance between the bore holes is 112 so you will need 5x112.

Thanks for the reply......actually I'm in South London!.....but will be driving in the winters to Lithania where winter tyres are the law from November to March.
Was thinking of 19s...they should perform better in the snow than wider tyres but didnt know the pcd.
Would you know if Q74L wheels fit the 4M without spigot rings..is hub diameter the same on both?

You could ask the current owner how many studs there are (5?) then calculate:

Aha...I remember you from A6 forums. Yep..I know its definitely 5 stud but want sure of pcd....I collect the car next weekend so can will see then.
We used to have a wheel guide on the A6 forum...cant find one on this one yet.

Hahaha......yes I know...but gotta try the rough to appreciate the smooth eh?
The beemer is ok no doubt....but it just doesn't have the feel or looks of the Audi....also itndoesntbhave anywhere near the toys Audi does...little things like lack of auto folding wing mirrors and a few other things really annoy me.
You happy with your Q?
And thank you for welcome back

No, wheels from Q7 4L will not fit to 4M. 4L has 5x130, 4M has 5x112. Original 19" wheels for 4M are 8,0JX19, 255/55/19, 5x112, ET 28, centering hole 66,6mm. I think that 20" winter wheels are also a good choice.
