I'm having a hard time finding wheels that will fit my 2000 A6 2.7t... I'm assuming because of the large caliper. Anyway... I was wondering if anyone knew if these would fit.

Mille Niglia VR - The wheels are 18"x8" Offset 45 (All Four), with 5x112 bolt pattern. And the plan was to put 245/45/18's on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 2000 A6 2.7T. I went with a 18X8.5, 35mm offset, and 5X115 bolt pattern. I had to use a 35 mm spacer to clear the front brakes. Don't use a generic spacer. Wheel will come off. I used a 35mm spacer by Eibach that was made specifically for our cars. They were $72 a set and came with extra long lug bolts. I can send you a pic of my car if you want to see what they look like. Good luck buddy.

go to www.1010tires.com and www.tirerack.com to use the calculator on 1010 and tirerack will get you to 90% towards the largest set of wheels your car can take, along with the wheel width and thickness that can fit without modification.

Hi -

Doesn't your 2000 2.7 have a 5x100 bolt pattern? If so, how did you mount those rims (with a 5x115 mounting pattern) onto your car?

Sorry, I screwed up. It does have the 5x112 pattern, not a 5X115. I had to get longer bolts and I had to keep tightening them every few days for about the first 1000 miles after I put the new wheels on. After that, they were good. Good Luck.
