Audi a3 wheels
« on: February 15, 2012, 10:49:18 am »
Morning all, can anyone tell me if I would have any issues on these with 35mm H&Rs fitted?

They are 7.5x17 and et56 (225/45/17)


Thanks!

Nope they should fit fine. I have a set of OEM VW Classix which are 17x7.5" ET54 and I'm on Eibach 30mm (front) 40mm (rear) drop.

They will be inset a lot into the arches so a pair of 10mm spacers would bring them out nicely at the rear. Just for looks though, they should fit ok as is.

HTH  :happy2:

Not that I'm doubting you Sandy, as you have had them in your hands, but are the Classix wheels definitely ET54?  I was under the impression they were ET51 the same as the GTi.....  :popcornsoda:

Thats what I thought Lee,, until I bought them and inspected them. Unless the 4 was really just a squigly 1?  :rolleye:

 Will go and inspect mine tonight, they're still in the garage as I've still got my 16" winters on.
