Changing Tire Size Potential Problems?
Hey guys I have a 2001 A4 1.8t and have been wanting to change the wheels for ages since I'm not a huge fan of them. So I finally found a decent deal on some older S4 rims and was thinking about getting them. But they are 16" rims. Here's the add if you want to check it out: 2006 Audi A4 Wheels w/ pirelli winter tires
But I was worried about any potential problems that changing the size could cause. Like mileage and the odometer. So please enlighten me
Thanks

Okay thanks guys! What do you think I should pay for them? They're asking 500 on the ad, and want to try and save some moneys.
Also, this will fit my A4 right? I can't see why not but I want to make sure, like width and whatnot.

Yessir they wil fit. I got 17x8" whide rims on mine. Everything will fit stock ride height. Id try to pay $400 depending on amount of tread left and condition of rims. I had to get hubcentric rings. I dont know if you will have to.

Soooo it ends up these rims did not fit my car. I got to the guys house and lifted my car to try and put them on but, the circle around the axle bolt was too wide for my car. I don't really know how to explain it but it basically has like a concave curve around it like my wheels do but it comes in too quickly. I really don't know how to describe it but if you know what I mean and can help me out please do.
Thanks

That's the hub bore. Must be that the older S4 had an incompatible bore with the B5. Honestly for $500 you can get 17s or 18s with tires if you search. I only paid $700 for my 19s with new tires (I got lucky but it still counts). No way I'd pay $500 for old 16s.
