they will work fine.. you can bolt them right onto the rear without any spacer.

I have tried them on the front and they fit with a spacer. I did not have a chance to try them on the rear yet. Does anyone see a problem with this? I see that the original alloys have a "LT" (light truck?) designation on them. Will the Audi wheels be strong enough? If this works, I plan on buying 215/65x15 tires. This combination will give me an overall diameter pretty close to the 27x8.50-14 tires that I have right now, which is giving me correct speedo numbers (checked using a GPS). Thanks. |
