Alloy 18'' Problem (stud diameter)

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

i have bought some 18'' Rs6 alloys here is the info

Tyre Type: All-WeatherRim Width: 8JTyre Width: 225Rim Diameter: 18 inchesAspect Ratio: 40Offset: --Load Index: --Number of Studs: 5Speed Rating: --Stud Diameter: 112Tyre Manufacturer: --Rim Manufacturer: --Rim Structure: One PieceManufacturer Part Number: --
The alloys are 18" x 8" and 5x112 stud pattern

now i go to fit them and the holes sont line up, seem about 3mm out any ideas please, really fed up

you should have bought 5 x 112 sadly these will not fit directly on there. You can buy adapters but they are kind of expensive. Can you return the alloys or swap for the right ones?

they won't fit as your car is 5 x 100

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

Arrrgh cant return them, they have 2 brand new tyres and 2 excellent ones they are gloss black, so what are they for, how much are adapters

 

[Paul @ Unit 9 Remaps]

what words do i search for for the adapters in google

pauls et40 is abit low, by the time you've put the adapters on your wheels might stick out to far, i've got et48 with 25mm adapters and thats made my wheels flush with the arch, thats on an S3, A3's have smaller arches so you'll struggle to keep them tucked away

for sale they go, gutted, bought a new tyre today had another new one on, also other two were excelent, should get £250 for them, how much s3 whhels go for

Yup, anything you find that come of a Mk1 TT will bolt onto your A3.
