B5 wheels on 8P?

nilemi · 06-28-2009, 03:36 PM

Hi there, I have lurked here for years and have just upgraded from a '97 A4QTM to an '06 A3. I'd like to now if my old B5 wheels will fit my A3. I have searched a few terms and nothing helpful has turned up. Thanks in advance, nilemi

Congrats, I recently did the same, from a 2001.5 A4 to an 2006 A3 3.2. Quite an upgrade!

I am using a set of stock B5 RS4/Celebration rims. The bolt pattern and hub bore is the same. The A4 wheels offset is about 1 cm off, so the wheels stick out a bit, but I think it looks more aggressive.

Not sure what the wheel size from your B5 is, but the stockers for the A3 is 5x112 w/ ET56

You can compare the wheels in this gallery. For measuring difference in wheel dimensions I use this calculator:
