Default 17" 5-Spoke Chrome A6 wheels on an allroad?

Tomorrow I am getting rid of my 2001 4.2 A6 and 350Z for a M3 and I currently have 19" SSR's on the A6. I still have the original wheels with snow tires mounted that have been through one winter. Our allroad's Goodyears are almost bald at 14k miles and I was hoping my original A6 wheels could be used on our allroad for winter. (yes I know the wheels would porbably look out of place, but hey, they're free)

Is there any reason as to why the A6 wheels won't fit on the allroad, and if they do fit is there any difference in the offset? Thanks in advance!

The allroad has a very shallow offset @ 20mm... Your A6 wheels might work with spacers.

Default I tried to get my dealer to deliver my allroad with the sport A6 4.2 "pie-plate" 5-spokers

they told me the wheels were incompatible. I suspect there is a significant difference in offset. None of the Audi optional wheels for the A6 4.2 are listed as fitting the ar. Our car is too unique! Glad your keepeing the ar...

Can anyone else confirm this? I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to keep the wheels or just give them back with the car.

Default Allroad offset is 25mm on the 7.5" wheel. Suspect it would fit, but might need

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/8639/hr_8mm_pn.jpg"></center><p>8-10mm spacers. H&amp;R makes both
8mm- 60/pair plus longer bolts
10mm- 95/pair plus bolts.

Both are hubcentric.
