    Will Audi S5 Wheels fit a MkV R32?

    Gday all.

    There's someone selling some Audi S5 wheels. Will these wheels fit a MkV R32?

    I've done some research and I think it won't due to centrebore size?

    1) Will have 6mm more inner clearance, 32mm extended outer position. Probably won't rub on stock suspension height?

    2) Centrebores for Omanyts are 57.1.......the S5s are 66.6. Do hubcentric rings or spignot rings allow these to fit?

    Cheers.

    Centrebore is easy to correct with as you said hubcentric rings. As for clearance the stock offset is 51 so if its anything around there it should be ok.

    Just make sure if you are paying genuine price that they are genuine wheels as there are reps out there which would obviously be worth less.

    thanks for your thoughts. They are genuine wheels with et32 offset......which means the outer clearance is 32mm wider. It seems the S5 et32 offset for a 8.5 inch wide rim will be too low?

    dont know the exact specs of your car, but 32mm outwards is probably a lot if your car isnt lowered...

    Gday, when you say 32mm outwards is a lot, do you mean it's ok or not ok?

    I would have thought a car that is not lowered provides more clearance? But then again, it would rub when going over bumps or maybe even when steering...

    The wheels will camber in at the top when you lower them.
    Grab a rule and measure the front face of your Omanyts to a position 32mm closer to the guards.
    The inner clearance wont be a problem

    Once lowered plus the addition of camber you should be able to run those wheels, though they are pretty agressive

    Thanks mate...it's my mrs' car so need to get rims without lowering...but then may look funny anyway with 19s on a non lowered R32.

    Saw some RS4 wheels a while back too...but are 9 in wide...

    Oh well, may just need to just look out for some 19 Golf R Talladegas...but as if they're going to come along...haha...

    8.5" wide and ET32 has no chance of fitting on a mk5 without rediculous poke. ET45 pokes

    Sorry dude, I sent the ozaudi post to my boss yesterday & he picked them up last night (for an A5)

    ET35 is okay for 18x8 w/ 225's, but 19x8.5 w/ 255's is way too wide
