I would like to fit a set of Winter tyres to my 2004 A4 quattro. Picked up a secondhand set of Audi 15" steel rims at a car boot sale. They fit onto my wheel hubs OK, but I am concerned that the rim offset may be wrong for my car. ( I do not want to scrub of the rubber to quickly ! ).
The steel rims are 6J x 15" with ET 45 offset. Planning to fit 195 x 65 x 15" tyres. My owners manual states that a 6.5J x 15" rim ( 195 x 65 tyre )has an offset off 33mm.
Anyone know if this difference will matter. Would like to keep my 16" alloy rims ( standard tyres are 205 x 55 x 16" ) in the garage over the winter. they spread a lot of salt on the roads where I live.
