Hi everyone looking to get some wheels for my s3 but just want to check that they will fit
They are genuine Audi 17" sport slime alloys the offset is 45 rim width 7.5j would these be ok

Thanks in advance
 
they do have a stud pattern of 5x100?
 
They wont fit if they're from an 8P (which I assume they are being an S-Line spec) unless you use pcd adapters.

I think they are 5 x 100 they came off a a4 cab
this is the wheel number et45. 8e0 601 025 if that's any help
 
depends what year;

B5 A4 - 5x100 (upto 2004)
B6 A4 - 5x112 (2004 onwards)
B7 A4 - 5x112

EDIT: if it's a cabriolet then it can only be a B6 onwards so i'd suggest you double check the PCD carefully. It is normally stamped on the rims, quite often i the centre under the plastic covers maybe if it has them.

think they may be tight against your shocks if not touching, either way they are going to sit miles inside the arches and you will need spacers to make them sit nice
 
Think you right mate oh well on the hunt again may just get my original wheels resprayed thanks for all the help

I'm pretty sure the B5 is 5*112 as well.
 
You're all right, I was wrong (apologies) the B5 is 112 too. In fact most Audis are 112 apart from the TT and 8L A3 I think.
 
I'd put it the other way around - the old Passat (started at P/R reg) was an A4 in disguise as it had a longitudinal engine. New Passat is transverse so back to VW ways.
Transverse = VW
Longitudinal = Audi
IMHO, of course!
