Will these wheels fit a 2009 Gti
« on: 17 November 2013, 21:27 »
Thinking of buying these for the winter. Will they fit and look ok ?



So the ET seems to be 15.

The centre bore is 76mm and I can supply spigots (I used these on the S6), which takes the centre bore to 56mm. Now these centre bores couldbe a miillimetre either side as I measured them with a straight edge.

The size you have quoted is the tyre size, which helps a little, but not completely. If these are genuine Audi wheels, they should have the correct centrebore 57.1mm, but as you say you can fit spigot rings to get over that. The PCD needs to be 5 x112, that's the number of holes for wheel bolts the diameter of the circle that passes through the holes. If the ET really is 15, then they are going to stick outside the wheelarch,  way too far. The normal ET is 51.

These are the 18" tri-spoke from a 2010 A3 - not sure if that helps in your research?

Walk away...

There are too many things not right.

Centre bore wrong...
Offset wrong...
Tyres too wide.

Get a set that fits.
