crazy wheel idea

[Demringstho864]

so im thinking of doing something crazy. i want honest opinions. im thinking about getting some wheel adapters 5x112 to 5x114.3. i had a set of 18x9" wheels off my old ranger, drove them 50 miles and then i sold the truck to pay for the audi. but i was thinking about running them on the audi. If someone has photoshop maybe if your feeling nice do a quick photoshop of them on there. yes the apr fanboy stickers are gone.

Here's a better idea. Sell them in CL, and find a set that are made for the Audi.

OH F. I couldn't see the pics on my PC at work and thought you meant Range Rover wheels and planned on going rally car look.

After seeing the pics, I agree with 4RingNut. Sell the Ford Ranger wheels and find a used set made for the B8.

Are you all saying don't because their on a truck or because of the bolt pattern, because it is very common to run different bolt pattern wheels on EU cars.

I don't care what they came off of, personally. Running adapters is no different than running bolt on spacers, so I agree that there should be no issue there.

OP, you can get an idea how they look just by putting one side of the car on jack stands and sitting the wheels in next to the hubs, without bolting them on. They are not terrible looking wheels..

if the offsets work, you don't need adapters. You could use wobble bolts.

Unless the A4 will be sitting as low as the Ranger was, then I would say don't waste your time because it will not look good.
But, if you are going to be on bags or very low on coils, I say what the hell try it out

here is my thoughts....the design is fine...it actually reminds me of some of the slammed cars that have aggressive looking 5 spokes.

fifteen52 "ish"


the issue i have is that with your current suspension setup, i dont think it will look how you want it to....as others said, you need a very aggressive drop to pull this look off.

I'd be more concerned if the wheels will even fit if you use adapters. The width of adapters are pretty big..

he wont need adapters since they are 5x114. Wobble bolts...
