Audi A3 alloys help ?

1. Hi Guys
   
   I have recently purchased an Audi A3 1.6 TDI Sportback- not S Line edition.
   
   I have purchased some 18 inch alloy wheels online and I didn't realise these are the 18 inch Audi A3 S Line concave alloys but from a Saloon.
   
   Will these fit on my A3 hatchback ok?
   
   Thanks for your help guys
   
   Kris

Have a look on the back of the wheel, should have the ET number stamped on there if they are genuine Audi wheels. Anything from ET 54 to ET 45 will fit.

Sooty I will check I have had different responses I have been told they will fit but the offset will be different and they will be wider is that a major bad thing safety wise?

I thought you had standard springs but if lowered it really depends by how low the car is now.
Have a look at the third post here https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/eibach-suspension-picture-thread.374597/
In the first paragraph Motley says his standard ride height is 347 mm wheelarch lip to centre of wheel. If yours is the same within a couple of mm then you also have standard SE springs and you’ll be ok.
