I saw that too, the Audi UK website is wrong, as Reffro says you do get a 3.0 TDI SE in front wheel drive. I personally wouldn't order a non quattro Audi but I don't get to make the overriding decision here. It will be quattro with any luck. Things are moving now, just waiting on confirmation back from Audi. We have some final edition wheels (D3 type) on the 96 4.2 qs A8, and I want to put them on the D4, will they fit? It will possibly be the first D4 to make an A8 Parts meet.

Anyway, I think final editions on the D4 look hot.

So does anyone know if the D3 wheels will fit the D4?

you can fit anything if you have spacers and different wheel bolts!

should do Amar, the D4 will take 21 and even 22" wheels so 20" FE wheels should be fine
You could probably even fit the 21" version off the Q7 on there, bet that would look awesome!

Thanks, Neil. Although I knew the 20'' wouldn't be too big, I was more worried about the fitment, I don't understand all that ET stuff etc... The 21s would look cool no doubt, but I don't think that'll happen as already have the 20'' wheels.

What are the respective ET's on the D4 wheels as supplied and the FE wheels you have plus wheel and tyre sizes and I will check for you and let you know differences

What about centre bore diameter? D2's are 57.1mm but the wheels my friend bought which were from 2008 A5 had 67mm or thereabouts so needed to use spigot rings.

The D4 wheels in a 9x19 are ET33 - in 20" they're ET37 in the main.

The D3 FE wheels are ET46

Basically you'll need some small spacers to make the D3 rims stick out the same amount as the D4 wheels, but as said you're biggest problem may be the centre bore size - I doubt there's enough meat on the D3 rims to bore out the centre to suit, if they do indeed prove to be different

Thanks for your input guys, so some spigot rings will be needed then. Hmm, where do you buy them from? If the stick out a little less than the OEM ones that's fine as long as its all safe, the car is coming with 18" 8J 235/55/18 and the new tyres are 275/30/20.

You won't need spigot rings - the D3 wheels will have too small a centre bore so unless you can buy spacers that change the centre bore size too (quite possible I would think), or you can bore out with adequate meat remaining from the centre of the D3 rims, then they won't fit based on what ainarssems posted below ref the sizes
