Default Another source for 4x108 wheels?

Do the wheels from the 924 fit audi's with 4x108 pattern? IIRC, the 924 used a 4x108 pattern, but no clue on ofset of whether they'd be hubcentric...thoughts?

I think the offset is wrong.

924 wheels are too narrow anyway.

Default Hubcentric means the hub is in the exact center of the wheel.

All wheels are hubcentric, otherwise they would vibrate as they turned.

They'd probably work with spacer, but still too thin

Default All wheels are NOT hubcentric,...

I think you definition needs a bit of tweking. Hubcentric wheels are produced in such a way that they fit snugly on the hub (wheel mount location). The hub has a ridge on it that mates to the backside of the wheel. This is done to ensure proper centering of the wheel on the hub.

Cheaper/lesser quality aftermarket wheels are usually overbored on the backside for different car applications. Special adapter rings are manufactured for individual cars to ensure their wheel is hub-centered when mounted.If not properly centered, you can have a steering wheel shimmy.
