Ez all!

This is my first post up on this forum. I have at 98S Silver 1.8 Turbo A3. Current Mods are clear side repeaters and an APR chip putting out apparently around 200Bhp and 240+ lbs of torque. She bangs!!

I have come buy a set of orginal RS4 8J 8.5 x 18" RS4 orginal wheels. Only problem is the pcd is different on my car to the wheels. Im told I could fit them by drilling my existing dics & hubs, but im posting up here to see if anybody can tell me different? Also, does anybody have a list of all the different Audi PCD's and offsets?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

PS Anybody going to GTI International?

I wouldn't know about the offset on the RSTT's but I thought they were the same for the A3 and A4 platform :&

I for one will be travelling from The Netherlands to GTI International, and my car will be on the Audi-sport.net stand, so check us out along with Tyresmoke.net who'll be there in force.

Probably the two of the best European Audi (VAG) forums.

You have 5x100 bolt pattern on your A3 hubs, so you would need new hubs and brakes to use 5x112 rims. You could use adapters, but those would act like spacers and push the offset out even further, by then the oem RS4 wheels would be sticking half way out of your wheel wells!

The oem RS4 wheels are notoriously soft too. Why not purchase replicas that look exactly the same as oem, are typically stronger, and have the correct bolt pattern & offset?

The wheels in my sig pic are Achtunings 18x8" RS4 replicas with an offset of ET35, which is perfect for A4/S4 fitment.

I seem to remember The Wheel Exchange & Edge Racing offer RS4 Replica fitment for your A3, not sure if Achtuning has 5x110 pattern.

As for the different offsets, try searching for different model sizing in the wheel & tire forum.
