    Hey guys does anyone seem to know the exact sizing of the A3 (FL) S Line wheels? The standard 18" chrome/silver alloys.

    Im asking as im looking at aftermarket wheels but i do not understand the sizing, for example some are 18" x 7.5, 18" x 8 etc. Which one do I need to buy in order for a smooth fit and no other adjustments are needed? Also will 19" ones fit without having to make any changes or add anything to the wheels?

    Any help is much appreciated and sorry if these questions seem quite silly. Ive always wanted aftermarket wheels on all my previous cars but was too scared to take the plunge, but im feeling adventurous now! Cheers

    The standard 18" are 7.5J/ET51 or 8J/ET46. What that means is that as the wheel gets wider (J number) the way the centre line is offset from the hub shifts (ET) to keep the needed spacing and handling.

    19" options were 8J/ET49.

    If that's saved a chunk of your browsing time while trying to unconfuse things or the return postage for getting the wrong thing please see the sig just below .
