will these A8 wheels fit on my 00 a4? they have 255/35 zr 20 tires on them.

please let me know, i think they will look great if they will work and i will post pictures.

thank you.

 

if you're car isn't lowered there is a good chance that they will fit...

I am posative if you try to lower your car they will rub...

and if you don't lower your car, it will look like a monster truck...

the largest you'd want to go would be a 19" wheel...and 19's generally look huge on our cars...tho some people do pull them off...

I would suggest looking for a smaller set of wheels, like 18's...

gl!

 

no they won't fit, tires are too wide. you'll also need giant spacers

 

Get 18's... I bought 19's lowered my car and they look alright but still a bit large.

After

 

 

19's look ok on a B6, but a B5 really can;t handle the size of 19's...
255's might fit on the back, but definitely not on the front.

 

hey somebody5788, what wheels are those and where did you get them?

 

No. 255/35ZR20 are almost 2 full inches taller overall than the recommended B5 wheel and tire combo. You won't just rub the fenders, you'll likely rub the struts.

In order to fit 20" rims with the proper overall height (diameter), you'll need a 255/25ZR20, which is a custom size. If you do land a tire that size, you'll need wheel spacers to prevent rubbing the struts and custom wide-body RS4 fenders to fit the wide tires.

If not, you'll have to stretch a 235/30ZR20 to fit that wide rim (not recommended), but you'll still be a bit taller than recommended.

Additionally, if you've ever driven a car with lower than 35% profile on the tires... the ride sucks. Rims bend easily. Tires bubble easily. Kidneys burst and teeth shatter. You're passengers won't even want to ride with you. And if you do bubble a tire, you're looking at $200-400 EACH tire for 20 inchers!

Unless the car was made to have rims that large, I wouldn't do it. You'll ruin the look and the ride of your B5 without a LOT of custom work.

 

Says it all right there.

 

thank you all. i have steered away from the 20's i think i will go with 19's.

as for bending wheels. i have 19's on my BMW with 35 series tires and i have bent the wheels so many times.

thanks again.
