Bryan, If you are referring to a factory Audi wheel, the centerbore will be 57.1mm. You need to be at at least 66.7mm to clear your dustcaps up front. If you are putting these on the Syncro, the offset should be OK though not ideal. On a 2wd, there may be clearance issues around the steering components. 9mm spacers can bring you back to factory specs. When using spacers, the brings back the specter of longer bolts/studs. Then there is the issue of thicker mounting pads. Your Audi wheels probably have ballseat lugholes. You can use longer Audi bolts up front with the spacers, unless you have a Syncro or have studs such us in SA big brakes. The rears are easy enough to install longer studs. An alternative solution would be to recontour the lugholes to a conical seat. As you might guess, you haven't given us all the details for this installment to work. Most of this info is already in the archives. Pmail me if you need additional assistance. I can source the necessary hardware as well.
