Hi I have also asked this over on VWAF and had a few comments but wanted to see what you guys thought.

I have been offered some Q5 or A6 allroad rims and tyres that I want to use on my Audi A4 3.0 Tdi Avant Quattro 2010. Present tyres/rims on the car are 8K0 601 025 AA 19" rims with 255x35x19 tyres ET43 5x112 8.5J and I believe 66.5mm bore load rated at 96W.

Secondhand ones are 4F0 071 497 K identical to this https://www.willhaben.at/iad/kaufen...der-original-4stk-4f0-071-497k-527-162736727/
which are shod with 215/55R17 98H dunlop winter tyres. The rim spec is 7J 17H2 with and ET34 then au033 after that.

I have input the info onto this site http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?whe...55-17X7ET34&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm and the only issue appears to be the scrub radius
and this site http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...eel_size=17&wheel_width=7&offset2=34#isPage=1
shows a visual look of the tyre wont foul on either suspension or wheel arch.

What do you guys think about the quite major ET difference 43 to 34, the scrub radius issue and also are those tyres a bit skinny? They should be ok load wise at 98.

Any help much appreciated I want to either buy or tell the seller pretty quickly its a no go.

Cheers

David
 
Those wheels only have a bore of 57.1mm so won't fit unless you get them machined to 66.5mm.
ET35 is not a problem with wheels for the B8. The team Dynamics wheels I run are 8x18 et35 and fit fine.
The 17 inch tyre size for a B8 should be 225/50/17 , 215/55/17 are a little bigger but should be OK assuming they were on wheels that would fit.
 
I would say those wheels are almost certainly 57.1mm. The very fact they are a 4F0 part number seems to put them on either a C6 A6 or a B7 A4 or similar, both of these have 57.1mm centre bore.
If the definitely fit a Q5 then they are a 66.5mm CB.
 
yes asked the seller again to check and they said really not sure, after being so positive. Think its time to walk away which is a shame they were a good price and had good winter tyres on them as well. THanks again desertstorm for the help
 
"Never used as they didn't fit the car they were bought for" . That was nearly you :) .
