Default A6 4.2 Wheels fit 2.7T?

Will the factory 4.2 and A8 wheels fit the 2.7? How about the TT wheels on a 2.7. I know that the bolt pattern is the same, but someone told me that the calipers on the 2.7 cause clearance problems and some of the wheels will not fit. I have the OEM 5 spokes and would love to go with the 17" 5 spoke if they would work. Thanks

TT wheels are a different bolt-pattern.

Default The 4.2 Sport 5 spokes fit well as many here have them and many of us lust after them--Audi sells--&

them for about $850 each. Sometimes you can find them in the classifieds for less but they are hard to come buy used.

Default I ran the TT wheels with custom adapters (20mm that changes the pattern from 5x100 to 5x112)....

Will '97-01 A8 work without adapters?
