    Will these alloys fit?

    Hey guys,

    I own a 2006 Audi A3 S-Line and ive been thinking for a while with regards to replacing the standard s-line alloys.

    Had a general Nosy around on the forum, and read a few other threads by people, also used this: custom wheels for Audi A3 - RIMSnTIRES.com

    and from what i can see i should be good to buy these alloys and fit them without any problems.... eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

    Has my research been done correctly or have i missed anything?

    Also, the current S-line alloys are 18" and the new ones will also be 18", would it be possible to take the tyres off the old and pop on the new? all 4 tyres are pretty much new and i feel it would be a total waste buying new tyres also!

    Many Thanks!

    My main concern is the 8.0J whereas my current alloys are 7.5J ... will this make a difference?

    8J will be fine. Your current tyres should also be grand on the new wheels. I'm assuming they're 225/40/18s or something?

    As long as the offset is ok then no, you can look at offset calculators online and put the details in

    Looks great mate- wonder how they would look in anthracite or the smoked chrome- with the car colour you have might be an awesome mod
