D4 19" Wheels onto D3?? Has it been done?
 
I have to be honest, the centre bore/PCD/offset of wheels bores me to tears and fries my brains.

I have worked out the offset etc of the D4 wheels are fine but not aware of and centre bore differences between the D4 & D3. Can someone tell me whether it works pretty please :)???

:D:D:D

Its the '10 spoke' design I'm looking at...but not sure on the centre bore of the D4??

If the centre bore is different then it is perfectly possible to get some adapters to take up the difference but I have a feeling they are the same size Bex

Aah Ok cool. Because if you ask Audi, they just say they won't fit purely on the basis they are not listed on their screen... I sall try to find out from part numbers etc but I find wheels specs so tedious, I'm being lazy I know but I do also get a bit boggled :P

Thanks for the reply :)+++

No problem - put it this way, they've been fitted to a FL D2 already by some of our German A8 forum friends +++

I believe centre bore for D3 is the same as D2 57.1mm. Some newer models like A5 have 66.1mm so I would not be surprised if D4 is 66.1mm as well. But that's what spugot rings are for.

Get some spugot rings to take up the difference in the centre bore.

I can confirm that D4 wheels have centre bore of 66.6mm so you will need spigot rings to reduce diameter from 66.6mm to 57.1mm

Plenty available on e-bay. I would go for metal ones rather then plastic ones.
I have 2 sets of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HAWKE-SPIG...item540338602d

1 on the S8 fitting Merc specification wheels and the other set waiting to go on A6 when I put A5 wheels on it for summer.
