Post by hanloncole »

Will a set of 15 inch 43 off set audi alloys fit? I know that i will have to bore out the centre hole but will there be any other problems?
Thanks

What width rim? The offset is quite big, you will usually need spacers with something with that amount of offset.
Keep it real.

I've got 15" x 7" Audi rims, ET 45 with 205/60/15 tyres

As you say you will need to enlarge the centre bore and you will need longer wheel bolts and 20mm spacers at the front to clear the top suspension

I also put 20mm spacers and longer studs on the back to make it look even

loading on wheels

Post by VWlewis »

Be careful about the load on the new wheels - an Audi is lighter than a T25 - have a look at the Wiki pages and this page too

http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html

Look for "Load Index" details.

Wiki link is here:

Hope this helps
