Just make sure the bolt sits right in the wheel and has near enough the same amount of thread out the back as your current wheel.
How hard can it be?

Also ensure the bolt seats are the same (radius for oem wheels and tapered for majority of aftermarket type)

Audi apparently

Also being 7' would 225/45 rubber be ok or should they be 215?

Thanks
