Hi All.

Does anybody know if 18" A4 B8 alloys (2008) will fit a 2004 A3?

Thanks in advance.

Should fit

5 x 112

Most 18" wheels on a 8K B8 chassis are 8J ET47.

They'll stick out a bit more than your normal wheel as the ET is lower than the A3 wheels.

Just watch what tyres you put on them.

8j et47 should work without issues.

I had 8J ET42 with slight rubbing depending on the tyre. ET47 should work no problemo

Ive got 8j et 43 on mine and they are fine, they rub only on the biggest of dips on the road but otherwise they are spot on. Sit wel too
