Hi Guys 

 

I was looking to smarten up my wifes car..

 

I have been offered a set of wheels like these ones on ebay 

 

 

And I was thinking will these be a nice simple swap ?? 

 

Will I need wheel bolts? being her old wheels where Steel 15" ones

 

any advice is greatful thanks guys... 

 

 

They won't fit as they'll be the wrong bolt pattern.

 

Audi A4 is 5x112 where as Mk1 Octavia is 5x100

These Audi rims fit nicely on my 5x100 Roomster

OK I have them here now.. Wife is out at work. The wheels have arrived. 

 

OK I was told they are from an Audi A3 which are 5 x 100 

 

now the wheels don't say it on there, eg on the casting numbers on the back.. 

 

they currently have 205 55 16 tyres on them.. I guess I will wait till she is back to see if they fit.. If not then I guess they will fit on our other Skoda which is a Mk2 Skoda Octavia as that currently has steel wheels ( taxi spec ) and as we want to sell it. We are still quids in anyway.. 

 

My only concern is I don't really want baloon tyres on the rims what size tyres does alloy wheels have for the octavia in 16" I would rather have some 195's infact my old Porsche has a full set of 4 195's that I have done line 3000 miles on in 10 years.. I would be happy to swap them and use them up and get new rubber for the Porsche. ( always a plus side :-) ) 

205 55 16 Winter tyres are fitted to my Audi A6 alloys

They are the correct size for my original alloys which will go back on in March (225 40 18)

I think I am looking at things looking to go 195 55 16 and use my old Porsche tyres as they are free. and need using before they go hard. 

 

reason.. I checked this http://tire-size-conversion.com/speedometer-calibration/

Title says a4 you say a3. Which is it? Haha

when I went to buy them the chap said they where A4 ones but when i went to do the deal with the owner once he was back, turns out they came off an A3 

 

so I'm as confused as you are LOL 

Well, I hope they are off an early A3 as they will fit the mk1 Octavia.

 

Later A3 ones (2005+) and ALL audi A4 ones will not fit.  Googling the part number from the inside of the rim should give you the original car it came from and the year.

Yep.... they don't fit.. 

 

Pants.

 

Oh well one of those things. I have a 2007 Mk2 Octy so they should fit that.. I might as well not bother with Alloys for the Mk1 

 

Unless any one knows any that are going cheap ish.. :-( 

 

if not I have a set of Audi A4 alloys for sale 5x112 's :-( £100
