Will 18" RS6 wheels fit on my Leon ok?

Haha joke

Will 18" RS6 wheels fit on my Leon ok without rubbing or anything??

Thanks

 

[MrJohnnyB]

Yes.

 

[jonisginger]

God I love this forum.

Now I've just got to get teh stones to buy them (bye bye money).

Ad says approx 4mm of tread left, and they are Continental Contact Sport tyres, this is ok right?

I mean it's not great but 4mm isn't too bad..

 

[jonisginger]

And will I need spacers or anything?

 

[Ruddmeister]

Original Audi RS6 wheel will NOT fit

Replicas in 5x100 PCD fitment will fit fine and no rubbing issues on any model except the LCR

Original Audi Wheels have a 5 x 112 PCD IIRC

What width you going for? (7 or 7.5's should be OK not sure on 8inch +)

 

[jonisginger]

What about these?

[jonisginger]

AND what does the 112 or 100 mean like 5x100?, is that wheel depth?

 

[jonisginger]

Stud diameter. got it.

 

[Ruddmeister]

Stud diameter. got it.

Exactly so it's very impotant

 

[jonisginger]

Yeah I see. That's pissing annoying, why can't they just make the diameter the SAME.

Probably to stop enthusiastic 18 year old's such as myself doing this.

If you want originals you can get PCD convertors but they will also act like a spacer due to their thickness.

 

[Ruddmeister]

Plenty of Companies do replicas in 5x100

 

[jonisginger]

Ok...

What is PCD, and does that mean the wheels will stick out the side of the car more?

I'll check bay for some and pricings.

I love this forum. <333

PCD is the bolt spacing as you suggested above, only affects fitment onto the hub not width of rim

Audi wheels are PCD 5x112

width wise - my old RS6 replicas had 10mm spacers and 7.5 inch wheels so a PCD adaptor and 7-7.5inch rim should be ok

(assuming they are fairly regular RS6 wheels and not something with an unusual ET)

 

[jonisginger]

Yeah I see.

PCD adaptors are PRICEY like £150 for a set of 4 on bay.

Hmm, thanks.

Replicas in the correct PCD shouldn't be hard to find

 

[jonisginger]

Yeah true. Found a set of 4 RS6 OEMs for £290 delivered with tyres on ebay though, and with the adaptors it would make more sense just to buy replicas with correct PCD.

Also the nice 17/18" RS4 OEMs are 5x112 too.

 

[lc_allan]

You can also get replica RS4's

 

[jonisginger]

Yeah they're about £400.

Might just have to bite the bullet.

As a side note, generally, do bigger wheels have bigger bolt diameters? Or does it just depend on the car.

 

[daz_cymru]

depends on the car for the pcd
