XPost: Will the 5-spoke A6 "bowed out" wheels fit on an 2001 A4? Offset?
I know the bolt pattern is the same, but what about offset? I currently have the Celebration Sport 9-spoke (2001.5) 17's on my car and found winter tires on the 5-spoke A6 wheel. Should it just be "plug and play" or do I have to worry about offset or something else?
Yes, I did a search..

Ah, so that was your big suprise.
I was wondering what it would be. I had a feeling it was wheels. I was just bummed I could not make it to the most recent get together to see it.

Spacers
I had Ronal, (who are the OEM for these wheels), install their factory fitted spacers which are mated to the wheel so as to retain the proper load distribution from the hub the the wheel.
Where did you pick up your set? I need a fifth one as a spare.
Take care,
-Michael.
PS: Eight years? Wow... that musta' been a prototype A8. ;-)

mine are hub-centric as well..
that means the spacers has 58.1" bore and fited directly on the wheel with no play.
I got my set from <a href="http://www.ecstuning.com">ECS Tuning</a>
They come in 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, and 20mm. They sell them by the pair.
I have the 12mm one.
