wheel dilemma help!

[jonnyforman]

ive just bought some new alloy wheels this type to be precise...
They are 17" quattro sport alloys of a 2003 audi a4 with a stud diameter of 112mm and i have a 1.9tdi 97 red a4 and the stud diameter is different on mine but from what ive seen its not the same with all b5's? anyone know why mine is different and is there anything i can do? Cheers

if they dont fit youve bought a set that fits a3's only, sell them on

Cheers i rang up the audi dealer and they told me my a4 is 5 x 112mm and after a check it turned out it was and the alloys i had bought were for a audi TT or VW at 5 x 100mm never mind ey on ebay they go!!

I nearly did the same thing and bought some nice lukin tt alloys, i think the only direct wheels to go for are a6 and a8 jobbies

Hi all,

Just reading the above and i'm a little confused...

I've just bought a set of Audi RS6 Alloys (the common 5 spoke type) and they do not fit my 98 A4 2.5Tdi Quattro correctly!

Now they are replicas, which may be the issue... sizes are 18x8J with a 35mm offset, pcd 112. They went on the car ok however, the fronts stuck out of the arches by about 3/4", rears were fine, but all four were very very close (2-3mm) to the suspension arms that run just above the tyres.

Are original RS6 alloys different sizes, width wise and offset... or is it the fact that i'm running a quattro that is making things very tight...?

Cheers,
Kim.
