Wheel Help = US Spec A3.

[t3han0maly]

I searched but didnt turn up anything comprehensive hence I decided i'll make a thread.

I have the 17x7.5 5 Spoke wheels. I know the following about my stock wheels

Bolt Pattern: 5 x 112
Offset: 56MM

What I need to know
Center Bore:
Offset Range:
Offset Minimum/Maximum of what will work without resulting in any rubbing with upto an 8 or 8.5" tire?

My assumption is that any of the other Audi rims will have the same center bore and hence I'm assuming that the VW Rims are the same. I do like a couple of the rims that are offered on the GTI/GLI's and was going to see if I can get my hands on some.
Other than that I want to see what my possible options are for rims and what offset will work best for the look I want.

Hopefully someone can help me with the info I'm looking for.
Thanks,

The bolt pattern for VW's is 5 X 100, VW rims won't work...

Edit: I have an 8" width with 45et and its fine

No. VW wheels have been 5x112 since the MK4's. But the A3 has a different offset than the MK4's and same as the MK5's.

So the MKV Wheels could work? That is something I should look into.

I was mainly looking on finishline but they dont have the vw wheels I want.
