A3 17" wheels on an A4?

Is anyone running A3 OEM S-line wheels on their A4? Or any 17" wheel with a 225/45 17 tire?

I'd like to see how well your 17" wheels fill in compared to your 16" stockies.

Please post pics if ya got 'em!

A3s have a different bolt pattern, OEM won't work on an A4. A3 is 5x100 A4 is 5x112.

I apologize to op, I was under the impression that A3s and TTs shared the same bolt pattern (5x100) but I did a quick search on AZ and it is def 5x112, so sorry if I caused any confusion.

Will 18's with 225/40 tires rub on stock suspension?

Nope it won't. In fact, you'll have so much gap that you'd probably welcome some rub. See my sig pic to see stock suspension and 18" wheels with 225-40 tires. You DEFINTELY won't rub.
