Wheel options for 98 Audi A4 2.5TDi Quattro

[Jegster]

Hello,

I have a 98' A4 2.5TDi Quattro with Std 5 spoke 16" alloys fitted. Can anyone let me know which 17" alloys from other (possibly later model) Audi's will fit and have the correct offset etc.

Thanks

Jody.

You need ET35 for the alloys to fit right as any lower will touch on the rear hub carrier. I reckon you could go for the staggered look with ET45 up front and ET30-35 on the rear. I had 17" 5 spoke star alloys fitted on me old quattro and they had a offset of 45mm and had to use 10mm spacer on the rear...

IMO stick to the 16" competition alloys - original is best & will give best compromise over ride/handling.

I went along the 17" route with my A6, & it has spoilt the ride too harsh now & crashy on 45 profile & i prefer a firmer set up!
