Wheel Change - new wheel bolts reqd

deejaya4 · 04-06-2008, 07:31 AM

Hi there,

I have just changed my wheels from standard 16" sport alloys 205x55x16 to the 17" sport alloys 245x45x17.

Can anyone tell me if all the wheel bolts are the same for all the models?

The bolts seem to be a bit short?

Have you gone for non Audi aftermarket wheels ?? as different brands may need a change of bolts !!

some audis have different et's(with of hub part on back of alloy) you might be putting on wheels with different et's hence wheel hub wider less treads but if you get 6 or 7 full turns you should be ok
