Will these wheels fit?

[Greenglass]

Hi guys, I have a 2014 A3 SB SE currently with 17 inch wheels.
Had a look online and it seems the wheels are currently 7Jx17 ET43 and centre bore 57.1mm.

Looking at either these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-RS6-ST...12-/222294282393?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

or these: https://www.gumtree.com/p/wheel-rim...a6-a7-a8-rs3-rs4-rs5-full-set-of-4/1195406808

With a standard tyre of 225/40R18 will these fit with no issues and no wheel arch rubbing? The ones in the first link have a similar offset but the second ones have quite a different offset.

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully someone can comment on fitting but just MY OPINION I would avoid replicas. Two reason:

1) weight
2) manufacturing.

On UK roads with all these pot holes replicas are notorious to not be up to the standard of genuine wheels. I would personally look for a brand name that look similar. Years back my dad had replica AC SCHNITZERS on a BMW... we're heavier and when met a curb rather than buckle... they shattered!

Both do look great though!!!

The second set you link to has the larger centre bore size of 66.6mm, so you will need spigot adaptors to make them fit.

I don't know much about the A3 sizes, but does the 8V definitely have the smaller centre bore size?

Check willtheyfit.com to see how the additional width and offset will affect how the wheel fits.

Ok thank you both for the advice

As above not a fan of cheap no name Chinese alloy wheels. The manufacturing quality and finish can be very variable. Also diamond cut faces on any alloys are prone to corossion but on these cheaper wheels tend to be even worse.
You can get cheap quality alloys made in Europe that won't buckle at the first pot hole from places like Tyreleader. They have hundreds of different wheels all with TUV certification and nearly all made in Europe.
