Default B7 17" 5-split spoke wheels... fit a B5?
Can anyone confirm that the present ('06/'07) 17" split 5-spoke wheels that go on the sport packages of the B7 A4 will fit a '98 A4? I know that they are 17" x 7.5". I believe they also have an offset of 45.
Thanks.

Default 5x112 bolt pattern is all that really matters,
with those wheels anyway. Being a sixe of 17x7.5, you won't have to worry about them rubbing or anything with just about any offset. I believe they should fit just fine.

Default not completely true offset definitely matters quite a bit
even being 17x7.5 offset matters as you could still rub on the inside on the suspension components

Default You might need a spacer with that offset...
I run 17"x7.5" ET38 and I think another 7mm will put your tire very tight on the rear support.
