A4 (B5 Platform) Discussion Discussion forum for the B5 Audi A4 produced from 1995-2001 B5 FAQ

I tried... Will a B7 split 5 spoke wheel fit a B5 with the 235/45/17 tires?

I know the B6 5 spoke wheels fit and I don't want to just assume that these fit even though I believe they both have the same offsets.

Default I know the dia is slightly off from the 225 45, but I more concerned with upright clearance and..

brake caliper clearance. Error on the speedo is minimal.

Yes! Static test fit today front and rear fit. An alignment then real road test.

Default A little Late, but maybe still helpful.

I have these wheels on my 2000 A4. I barely clear the rear uprights, but I have had no rubbing. I believe that these wheels fit over the b6/b7 s4 brakes, if that helps at all. I'm not sure about the boxster setup.
