audi a7 aftermarket wheel problem

wheelin33 · 04-07-2012, 09:04 AM

I am struggling to get some wheels fit onto my audi a7..

So far I have had two sets of wheels, both with the same problem.

22", Blaque Diamond BD7 and Savini BM3, +35, +32 offsets drilled for Audi A7 (5x112)

Once the front wheels are bolted on, the front wheels (on the spoke, as seen in the pic) hit against the screw on the outside of the brake caliper, which prevent the wheels from being used.

Any suggestions?

The big tire shop used to try to install wheels refuses to use spacers.. So haven't tried that option yet.

You will need spacers. Make sure you get the required spacers for the correct hub size as I think the A7 uses the bigger hubs that audi has gone to.
