Would Audi S3 alloys fit my 2003 SE TDI Cordy?

They are 5 stud (which my car is) and have a stud diameter of 100

The tyre's on the car are 225/45/17

I dont know anything about alloys so any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

 

[Saul]

possibly, depends on the offset

 

[beefy]

It doesnt specify the offset, how do I find out what it is and whether it would fit my car?

Thanks

Audi TT comps fit so the S3 wheels should fit fine. You'll have to change the tyres though. 225/45/17 is to big. I have 205/40/17's on my 17's.

 

[beefy]

offset is ET32.

The guy said they fit leon's, toledo's and ibiza's so I can only assume they fit Cordoba's

 

[Saul]

yup

 

[beefy]

would these alloys fit a 2003 cordoba se tdi?

They are from a Leon Cupra R from around 2003

Rim width - 7J
Rim Diameter - 17 inches
Offset - 38
Number of studs - 5
Stud diameter - 100
Tyres are 225/45/17 which I would change again

Thanks

 

[Saul]

yeah they would fit also, however the cupra R alloys are 18", so they must be the 5 spoke cupra alloys @ 17"

 

[Icecavern]

Unless it's a euro spec LCR.

 

[beefy]

Ok 1 more set

A set of seat sport alloys

Rim width

18 inch

51 offset

5 studs

It says it will fit new leon, altea etc

would these fit a cordoba?

Thx in advance

Offset is a bit high, will need spacers i should think...

Try to go for 5x100 pcd off set 36-41, 7.5J x 17"

HTH

 

[beefy]

what exacty is the offset and what are spacers?

sorry for being a newbie :/

 

[Sisson]

AFAIK

The offset is the measurement from the hub to the outer edge of the wheel, therefore a higher offset will make the wheels sit too far in the arches and may catch the brake calipers and a smaller offset will maket the wheels stick out of the arches...

Wheel spacers go between the hub and the wheels to make a higher offset wheel sit further out [i.e bring the offset down] maybe to clear the brakes or something...

Hope This Helps You

 

[beefy]

so is it ok to buy allows with a bigger offset and just use spacers or would u not recommend it?

I really like these alloys and would defo like to have them on my car. If it is not a good idea though I will forget about it
