Default Will these rims fit?

Hi Guys, quick question...

I have an Audi A8 4,2 quattro D2 from 1994

I have bid on an auction for some 10 spoke parallel design 2012 A8 original rims size 265/40-20R... and I have won it, approx 2600 USD
These : http://www.motortrend.com/photo_gall..._photo_15.html

I am afraid they might be pushing the envelope

Can you tell me if this can even fit on a D2?

Thanks in advance

edit: Rims are 9''x20''

/Jake

Default Not sure about the tyres...

Not sure about the tyres however for the alloys, which look awesome...you need to find out the pcd and the spigot size (the central hole that sits on the hub spigot)....

The pcd you need for the d2 is 112....I have a feeling the spigot size might be slightly larger than the spigot size on our d2 hub...However you can get adapters so the wheels will centre properly on the hub...They are about 10 pound for 4 so not too expensive....

Really the important thing to check is the pcd of these wheels....if you can get the part number then you will be able google it....

Thanks for the feedback, much appricated

pcd 112 is a check
spigot size on d2 is 57.1 mm(metric millimeter)... should be the same on all A8 models I believe.
also the ET(of 37) is good as D2 has ET 40 original... theres no doubt in my mind that the rim itself will fit perfectly, my concern is that the tire of 265/40 on a 20'' rim, might be too big for the D2??

Cheers /Jake
