hey guys my mate just told me he's getting some alloys for his white b7 cab but his mate who's getting them said they'll fit,im dubious...

theyre oems111 20x10j.....gulp!

anybody fitted anything similar?

problems etc....
 
Really need more specs for a definitive answer as in ride height, offsets, tyre profiles etc. I'm on 20x8.5j and have seen others with 9js but a 10j might be pushing it a bit.
 
its on standard suspension at the mo and i suspect it'll stay that way,they come with 265/30 but he's looking to fit 275/35's.not sure on the offset etc..
 
No chance!! With a 35 profile, depending on the offset he's going to have to space them to clear the aluminium upright on the inside which will give serious poke on the outside. I tried a 235/35 on my 8.5j at ET40 and had less than 1mm clearance on the inside, now on a 225/35. Best advice would be to try them on with the 265/30 profile and go from there.
I really don't think the car will drive well on 10s, it will feel heavy, sluggish and will probably not even look that great too.

I'd give it ago. There's only one way your going to find out. But for tyres 235/35 with stretch other wise it'll catch arches at a guess. I run a 9.5 ok only 18's admittedly. But running as low as I do I have crazy stretch and arches have been fettled with max camber just to keep them in the arch somewhat.

As stated above IVE had to space mine just to clear the inside arches where tyre rub if had passengers.

Get all the specs and set up right and would look great
 
it will be his daily,its a 3.0 tdi quattro will pass the info on or get him to sign up.thanks guys.
 
This is the area that would concern me, with a good stretch or low offset you should be able to avoid contact but with a 10j that's just going to lead to serious poke and arch rub.

Doubt it will fit. If yor lucky with the offset/streched tyres you may get away with the 10J at the rears , but the fronts wont go. I mean not without spacing/ pushing them outwards as mentioned above.
I'm only running 19's with 8,5J front 9,5 rears at ET 35 (5mm spacers included) and theyre already poking out a bit from underneath the arches.
so if the car is an rs4 or an A4 with rs4 wide wings/conversion youre fine with 10j 's. Standard A4's on the other hand not too likely.

Not a problem then, somewhere at the top of the thread I misread B7 for B8 , You just got B7 and A5 mixed up.

I say buy them then worry afterwards, worst comes to worst you'll need thinner tyres or your arches rolling and either of those will make the car look much better on top of the fact you've now got much better wheels too.
 
You can run 10 j on a 40 profile and 20" in an a4 but.... slight arch pulling is required. I know someone that test fitted some 20 rotiform TMBs at 20x10j with 265/40 tyres. not sure what tyre was on the from though.

I struggle with a 215/35 and a ET35 plus 15mm spacers all round on the front... and that's on an 8j alloy. I have about 1cm clearance to the upper control arm beam. but that's due to being stupidly low If I put stock suspension on id have no problems running 9.5j + with stock 235/40 tyres.

Impossible, just physically impossible.
 
1) A picture of a car with 20" wheels does not prove width they are.

2) I know the car, here's the thread, http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=373731&page=10

I also met Jules when he bought my RS4 buckets, really nice guy and I remember when he had the wheels on his RS4, http://audisrs.com/ftopic33746-0-asc-240.php

Those were a staggered set, 9j on the front not a 10j.

3) 265/40 profile tyre?? Come on!! Stevie Wonder could tell you they're not 265/40s by the stretch, ride height, tuck.

No wish to start yet another argument with you Jay so this will be my last post on the topic. I just hope others will have the sense to do thorough research before potentially wasting £££s on misguided information.

Going from my experience I think I'll keep the IM where I put it......

Ok as for the OP's request in asking if a 10j rim would fit the awnser is yes it would.... On the front or back wasn't asked.

As for Julian's wheels (that I almost bought off him last August for £1800) straight off his rs4 and knowing his setups he doesn't go any lower than a 40 profile. I was having this conversation with him only a few weeks back on Instagram as I was asking him what sizes he runs on his rs4.

As for the wheels I knew there was 10j there staggered or not I didn't remember. But the fact there was atleast 2 wheels at 10j.

As for mervs b7tdi is on air and that pic was taken decked out from what I remember Julian saying.

I also have Julian's conversation about these wheels when I almost bought them and he says "I'm sure Marc had to pull his arches slightly" which is what information I passed on. So I've not given miss leading information atall. You just seem to think you know more than everyone about there own cars and experiences.

Each to there own and experiences are different. And if you know Julian as I do there is no such thing as impossible when it comes to fitment. He's the master...

Ok, I'm a think I know it all ******** but I'd never advise someone to buy something that I didn't think would work then say well he didn't stipulate if he wanted to fit them on the front or back. I'm sure the Ops friend would be quite happy buying them, fitting 2 on the back then discovering that the fronts don't fit. Having 2 spares for the rears would make up for his disappointment tho.....
When I answered the question I was assuming he wanted to fit all the 4 wheels to the car and be able to actually drive it or if it was staggered set he would have said so. Obviously I was wrong to make that assumption so I apologise.
I do still think what you said was misleading, it's plainly obvious from other pics of the car you posted by looking at the concave of the front and back wheels that they're staggered.
Last post now, I'm done, so Jay what ever you come back with I agree with you 100% and you are always right.
Going to enjoy the rest of my holidays now, might shop for some new wheels, 10js, read somewhere they'll fit.........
