rims question

so i found an AMAZING Deal on some Audi TT17" rims (225/45/17). i have a 97 b5. Will these fit? (sorry i tried to search for wheel size, but my cpu kept failing to access the search, and the auction ends soon) Thanks

RE: rims question

nope, well not without adapters. The TT has a 5x110 bolt pattern while the A4 has a 5X112 pattern so the holes won't line up.

RE: rims question

Unfortunately the TT is built on the same platform as the VW Golf/GTI/Rabbit/etc., so it uses a5x100 bolt pattern onwheels, which won't fit on your B5 which uses a 5x112 bolt pattern (unless you get adapters).

there fixed it for you......... and the stress you will put on the hub of the wheels and axels, makes it not worth it imho..... look in the classifieds for 5x112 wheels/tires
