If you really want the 5x100 wheels you may be able to find adapters that will allow you to run them, otherwise get wheels that are 5x112.

Thank you thats what I was told too, about the spacers. I just dont want to buy something that wont work. A guy I was going to sell me a different size lug pattern and I wanted to check with yous so I wouldnt get ripped off. I guess he was wrong.

So the rims lug pattern have to be 5x112 and nothing else at all right?

5x112 to 5x100 adapters exist. What is the width and offset of the wheels? And tire measurements if included. Stock suspension? They can most likely fit depending on some things.

I am calling the guy today about the width and offset of the wheels, so ill post it back up then.

As for Mcgovs1.8 you posted useless info in the first place anyway, I did search it myself and didnt understand it, so I went to you guys for help. Thanks...

Suggesting adapters was usless? No one had suggested them before I did. Some people do run them and its ok and some will say its not good, but thats for you to research.

if you thought my response was rude take this post to Audizine or AudiWorld and put your flame suit on.

Everyone is different. Some will help you regardless and not say anything. Others will come off a little harsh because you tried to search and found nothing but you still are asking. Just have to let it roll off your back or talk smack back lol. I will also agree those other forums are far worse and there is one being left out I think.....VW? . I was on the Saab forums and there were two old timers that flamed everyone. Just got used to it and talked back to them. Every forum has one, or two or with the above forums like 12. We are still here to help so don't get upset and take off for good that is the main thing. No one gets personal really and if they do take it to a Mod.

a) it is a different bolt pattern so it wont fit
b) it depends on how wide the wheels are
c) 19's are too big dont go bigger than a 17 its an A4 not a ******* civic keep it classy
d) i have 17x8 on my car with no spacers so i dont know why anyone would talk about spacers
 


Quick Reply: will 19in rims fit and or look good.
