No they are not OK to use.
Your standard bolts are of a ‘dome’ type, most OEM’s use these.
The aftermarket wheels use a ‘cone’ type.
You need to get longer cone type bolts for your new wheels.
I personally know of wheels falling off by using the incorrect types. Don’t risk it.

If I was to have a for sale ad with the title - Winter Tyres - England, what do you think would be the first question I got asked?
Im on the Scottish Border. You could be 5 miles from me.
Or 350.
Finally got myself the V8 BMW M3 I’d been promising myself for the last 3 years.
I do miss the S3 sometimes, I learnt a lot from it and enjoyed constantly upgrading and spannering on it.
Everytime I log in on here I hope to see it pop up with a thread. Although it failed its last MOT on...
I sold my S3 over a year ago now but still pop in here occasionally.
Initially we were both kind of on a similar path as eachother with the hybrid set-ups etc.
I remember seeing that A3 for sale on here originally and thinking it was a bargain.
Really enjoying watching how you progress...
Run your finger down the inside of your windscreen and taste it.
If its sweet tasting its antifreeze. Its poisonous so don’t be doing it a lot!
At 170K miles you have nothing to lose by putting in some radweld or similar, although I would never normally recommend using it.
You may get lucky...
