twoscoops 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Need a bit of advise for fitting my new alloys please. They are Audi S3 17" Avus alloys and I am just wondering whether they fit straight on? People keep talking about offsets and I have tried to read on here but I still dont understand what it means. Can anyone tell me whether these specific wheels will fit straight on? Also will they have an effect on the speedometer readings??Cheers from an alloy novice!!!Tim Link to post Share on other sites
Hairyarse 0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Cant answer your question, but this was posted up the other day http://www.carbibles.com/tire_bible_pg2.htmlSee page 2 about offset, may be some help?Andy Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 the wheels will fit depends on tyre sizes as to wether or not the speedo reads true as above TYREBIBLE is a good read "page 2" i have audi tt 6 spoke alloys with 195/40/17 for looks but they arnt the most comfortable 205/40/17 are better but arches may be a problem on lowered cars Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 i think the wheels are similar so long as they are 5x100 pcd they will fit the same as these Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yea they'll go on but may rub slightly if really low. speedo i wouldnt even worry about its a small difference. By the way calico what brand tyres are they, any more closer pics?? Cheers sorry for the thread hijack Link to post Share on other sites
twoscoops 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thats great guys, at the moment the car hasnt been lowered so hopefully they should be fine. Thats the next step in the plan once funds get a bit healthier! Link to post Share on other sites
