TC,

Best that you search the archive for the most complete answer. This question
has been asked dozens of times. Try searching "Audi wheels".

As quick answer, Syncros and 2wd have different requirements. Syncros can
use ET45 w/o spacers. 2wd will have interference with front ends components.
Spacers need to have bore of at least 66.7mm which is what you want to make
your centerbore if you are not using spacers. Next thing to worry about is
studs/bolts. You will need longer ones either way. They will bolt onto the
rears. You'll need longer studs.

Unless you are in love with the wheels in question or getting them for
almost nothing, you might be better off buying wheels that fit to begin with
once you've factored in cost of  machine work, spacers, and longer
studs/bolts.


Regards,

BenT
