WHEEL & TYRE FITMENT GUIDE
xjay1337:
You havent put width on.
But yes they will fit, albeit you may need spacers to clear your suspension strut if you are on coilovers.
Slightly smaller tyres wouldnt be a miss either..225 or 235/40 on an 8 or 8.5 would be fine.

Sorry about that, they are 9" wide, the car is on standard suspension and ride height.
The guide seemed to show an even increase front and back over the existing wheels, 20mm nearer the strut and an extra 18mm poke.
I was going for either Pescara or omanyt because I have always felt any given car looks better with oem wheels of the era, but some of the newer oem Audi wheels look really tasty, so I am being drawn towards them.

xjay1337:
Yeah no that would probably rub the strut at the front. You'd need a bit of a a spacer on the front end.
Steve in crete:
Thanks once again, had a bit of a feel behind the existing std set up and they are running very close to the strut already.
There seem to be lot of variations of width and ET on the wheels I am looking at, they do an 8j version with 225 40 so might look for a set of those instead.

You're better off getting the 8J. With 9J you either rub the strut or you rub the wing arch (you can get them rolled, not sure if that's enough for a 9J).
