Just looking at these wheels, any one know if they will fit? I'd have said so personally but would like some other opinions as i've got no idea what the ET is so obviously I can't say for certain

No. Different hub size i believe.

Since the B8 uses a larger center bore, I believe you could use hub rings to fill it out and go B8 wheels on B7. What you couldn't do is put B7 centerbore wheels on a B8, without re-drilling.

interesting, hub rings would be the way to go.

These are pretty clean, I'd rock them from the 18" sport package. Interestingly enough the classic RS4 wheel is now standard on the S-line. [confused] Most of Audi's wheel designs now are pure crap and they're just now figuring out that people liked the RS4?

I believe the B8 wheels have a 66.56mm hub, compared to the 57.1mm hub on the B7. Just need hub rings. Just can't use b7 rims on a b8.
