2009 A4 Wheel Size Difference?

[owdidave]

Quick Q: Anyone know if they changed the 2009 A4 wheel bore, offset, or bolt pattern from previous years? Reason I ask is I want to know if any of the '09 wheels will fit a B7 or B6. Thanks.

The B8 center bore is now at 66.6. Other than that, we know that B6/B7 fitments will fit on a B8, so I would assume that the opposite will work as well aside from the different centerbore.

Thanks, so you mean B8 wheels going on B6/B7 cars would need spacers to fit? Aren't the B6/B7 bores something like 57?

That's what hubcentric rings (66mm to 57mm) are for. Spacers are for lowering the offset and, in some cases, increasing brake clearance.

Yes! Hub rings is what I meant - thanks. So these are available? Anyone know where?

Not spacers, but hub centric rings. 66.6 to 57.1 center bore.[up]
