Alloy question - Audi wheels on mk3

Featured Replies

Hey I have done some searching and I’m still not sure can 18” Audi A3 wheels fit on the mk3 octavia I believe they will stick out a few more mill but nothing major ? 
 

And has anyone done this ?  Any cons ? 

I think the Golus alloys are the best looking 18" wheel for the Octavia & seen similar fitted on Audi's if thats the style you want.

Compare the offset and width against your current wheels using something like https://www.willtheyfit.com/

 

Otherwise, check the PCD and centre bore also match :)

these are the differences all the same apart from ET 56 vs 51 so as I understand these would mean that the Audi wheels would stick out 5mm more ? 4D31EC07-1D72-4D25-80AB-A9BCF39B7E6E.thumb.jpeg.914c72b36e41b43148f87c54bc9454cb.jpeg431F189D-C76C-4C3A-A2F2-7B9C7151A487.thumb.jpeg.79417bc671dc84ea1023d2765e23b828.jpeg

Nope, they would stick in 5mm more so a 5mm spacer would restore the original offset:

Most of the Audi A3 cars that were based on the VW Golf MK5/6 platform had 7.5Jx18 ET54 rims, not 7.5Jx18 ET56. There was a 7.5Jx18 ET56 rim, but not the most attractive rim.

As you have an Octavia MK3 that is based on the VW Golf MK7 platform, I suggest you look at Audi A3 rims that were also based on the VW Golf MK7 platform. There's plenty of 7.5Jx18 ET51 rims on that Audi.
