Hi, I've been aware of this forum for a while but I have only just joined as I could use some help from you experts. I have a 2003 Audi A4 1.9 TDI. I have found some alloy wheels that I really like and would like to purchase. The seller had them on a Mercedes E220 and has told me that they will fit perfectly on my Audi. Could someone please confirm whether this is correct? I am a complete novice when it comes to these things. :Blush2:

You will probably find that both the Merc and the Audi are pcd 5x112 so the stud pattern is fine, your issue will be matching the appropriate ET figure and fitting them under the arch
Good luck new friend and welcome aboard the forum

Thank you for the warm welcome, Stuart. I did a little research and found that that the PCD is the same on both cars. The bore is 57.1 on my A4 and 66.6 on the E220. I was told that this can be resolved with 'spigot rings,' though. Is that correct? If not, I have a set of 18" black alloy wheels for sale :)

I must sound like such a novice. I'm thankful for forums like this.

Just thought I would let you know, the alloy wheels went on the car perfectly. I had to buy some rings to make them sit right, but they only cost me a tenner.

Yep spigot rings, and at just a tenner what a result, get some photos of your new look ride on to the thread
Well done
