B6 A4 Sport wheels don't fit a 5ktq...

[John Cody Forbes]

At least not with the OEM tires. After sitting on them for a year or so I decided to try out my set of A4 sport package wheels and found that the curb guard of the tire rubs the strut on the tire-rod arm very minorly. I tried taking just a milimeter maybe two off of the seam that the tire hits and it gets even closer to fitting, but no cigar. I'm thinking pretty much all type44 cars would have the same issue, so I just wanted to let you guys know that they don't fit without smaller tires and/or a spacer. A 10mm spacer would do the trick plus room to spare. I've read that with 225mm tires they fit, but with the stock 235's they don't.

 I set them on the car and lowered it to the ground to see how they look and didn't like the look anyways, so I've decided to get rid of them I guess. Check the marketplace if you are interested (they have only PDI miles on them, like new) http://www.audifans.com/marketplace/show.php?table=pm_audifans_Parts&id=2198 . 


I guess now I'm going to have to start saving for some Compomotive MO-R's http://www.usacomp.com/mor.htm with specified offset ;-). I can almost buy 2 of them for what the A4 wheels are worth!
