They should be fine john yes, but if you have the full spec on current wheel and tyres including ET and tyre sizes and then new spec on these wheels it will be easier to tell what the exact outcome will be with regard to overall rolling radius and the "poke" in or out of the new wheels vs old arch-wise.

The only thing you might find is that you may need spigot rings as the centre bore size is often 66.1 on newer Audi wheels rather than the current 57mm of the existing wheels. If you need spigot rings then make sure you use metal ones rather than plastic as they are much better.

Thanks for that. I don't have the necessary details unfortunately

Hi John,

The 2012 A6, 4G platform, had a centre bore of 66.5 which you will need spigot rings as Neil stated. If that wheel is from the 4G then part number should be:
4G0601025S and that wheel is 8.5x19H2 ET45

The 'Le Mans' spec was from the previous 4F platform, this has a centre bore of 57.1 - same as our A8's. ETKA points to two versions of that wheel:
4F0601025BA - 8.5x19H2 ET48
8J0601025N - 9x19H2 ET52

Like a walking encyclopaedia Matt.

Many thanks. I'm undecided if I can be bothered faffing about. But quite like the style of alloy.
