5 spoke B8 Sline wheels

[EddyP]

Hi All,

I've been looking at some B8 S Line 18s and am wondering if they'll fit the B7 OK, I understand that they'll need some spigot rings as the centre bore is different, does anyone know if there's any other issues with the offset etc.? I think they're a 9J and ET52.

Thanks

They are 8J with an offset of 47mm. They should fit a B7 OK with spigot rings as you say.

I have a non genuine set that I am getting refurbished soon and then selling if your interested.

Yes those are similar.

The exact ones I have looked at are:

There's quite a few versions of this design it seems.
For some reason they seem to be easier to get hold of and cheaper than the RS6/B7 Sline design.

Ah they are not what I have.

You will need spacers on those ones, depending on the look you want you will need to get them down to about 42 but personally I prefer the look of 35

As above, depending on what brakes you have you will need spacers to clear the callipers with ET52. OEM for the B7 is ET43, but ET35-33 fills the arches properly.

Bear in mind though that ET52 on a 9' wide wheel isn't the same as, ET52 on a 7.5' wide wheel for example...... the width of the wheel changes the relevance of the offset

Looking at the ebay advert, the CB is listed as 57.1, which is exactly what we need for our cars so you wont need spigot rings for it.

Simple answer is that they should go on - but as above you might need to space them out a bit for clearance. 10, 15 or maybe even 20mm spacers should work depending on how you want it to look.

I like those wheels. Easy to clean.
