Wheel fitment Question

I found a great deal on a set of 18x8.5 in. BBS RC wheels but the bolt pattern is 114.3x5, with a 38 offset. Will these fit my 2000 A4 Quattro?

No it won't. You need 5x112 bolt pattern. The 114.3 is too wide a spacing between the lug bolts. That's a common Nissan/Infiniti/Toyota spacing, but it won't fit the Audi.

Yeah I kind of figured that they woulden't fit, as a matter of fact I think they came of the guys 350 Z. Thanks for the responses guys.

I have heard about wheels being redrilled... depending on the wheel though...

RE: Wheel fitment Question

I'd be worried about weakening it - it may not weaken it at all, but in my mind, it'd be safer to buy wheels intended for your vehicle rather than taking yet more metal out of the "lug ring" of the wheel.
