I've been looking for that wheel in our parts listings and feel like an idiot because I can't find it. I am trying to find the part number so I can see what the specs are on it. Here's what I can tell you. The wheels that would be used on your 09, be it the 8x17 or 8x18's, would be offsets from 45-47 mm. So take a look at that 17 you are interested in, and if it's an 8 inch too, and an offset within that 45-47 range, or close to it, you should be good. Look on the back of that rim, and the part number will be on it. But the offset is usually stamped or cast into the backside of the rim, center area or on a spoke. The info I provided above will get you started.

Thanks, Jeff. Here is what I know:

17 X 7.5
38mm offset

Not sure of the part number as the seller is currently out of town. I believe this style was popular on earlier model A4's. I think they would look great on my car but of course, they need to fit correctly!

Don't know how I missed finding this wheel. I show it used to be p/n 4F0-601-025-AF-Z17 and is now 4F0-601-025-K-Z17 and is 7.5x17 with a 45mm offset, which should be perfect for your car. 38mm offset as you mentioned would make me still worry about clearance issues. Have him see what part numbers are on the back of that wheel, if they match the ones I gave you or not. He may only give you the first 9 digits, usually the last 3 won't be on the wheel. Here's the part you knew was coming, we sell that wheel for 347.20 and even have one in stock. Plus shipping, depends on zip code for that. Thanks! Jeff. Retail is at 400.00 each rim.

The offset is definitely 38mm on these wheels. I would really like them to be able to work. Not quite sure what to do. What is the difference between a 38 and 45mm offset wheel in terms of fitting?

Here is a good website http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp that will let you type in specs, and in this case you can change the offset to see how the wheel changes to the specs you provide.

That 7mm difference can be the difference between the spokes hitting the caliper or not. Sometimes adding even a 5mm spacer can make the difference. For the first time since I started in the car parts biz we had a car come into our shop and after new brake pads were put on the front the aftermarket wheels wouldn't fit. It turned out that the calipers were sliding caliper mount style and when the new pads were installed that forced the body of the caliper towards the outside of the car, towards the spokes, and that's where the interference was. So it's things like that you have to watch out for concerning offset. If it's a large offset that brings the inner portion of the wheel towards the inside of the car you have to watch out for the tire hitting something at extremes from left to right.

It's hard to say if those wheels will work. I'd call tire rack and see if they know, or search forums to see if somebody else has made this work.
