Fitment question! "Six Spoke" Avus (?) wheels on 2002 A6? (Pic!)

[acarney]

The seller and I have done our best to figure out if these wheel's will fit my C5 A6 (2002 A6 2.7t) which came with the stock 17" option. The seller thinks they will and I trust he did everything he could to find out, however, I would like a little extra back up from you guys.

I'm not sure what these are called but from my understanding they came from a 2007 A4 and are Audi wheels. I'm currently using the factory BBS RC that came with my A6 and have no problems with clearance or anything. I've got some 235/45R17 tires that just came in today and these wheel's will ship off to me come Monday so a couple quick replies would rock!! Am I good to just mount the tires and bolt on? Do i need spacers? (what size or part number) Or will they just not work? :-/

Just can't make out what's stamped on these wheels, can anyone ID and figure out if they would work?

yep they will fit without an issue!

ET43!! if i was you - i will get 15-20mm spacers just to impruve vision!

What does that mean?? They'll clear the brakes but the face of the wheel will be insider the wheel well? Will it hurt handling if I go without the spacers? The ET43 vs ET35 mean what, less then 10mm difference? I'm not sure of I would notice a 10mm difference...

So if I got an 8mm spacer would it be like I was running a 35mm offset? I think that 35mm is the same as my BBS wheels now...

yes thats right , but eventually your car can handle less ET than ET35 so thats why everything is personal judgement and taste!

i use to drive with ET43 +20mm spacers wich was ok for me ....
