URGENT: s3 alloys dont fit!?

[V5-Ant]

hey guys

I bought a set of Audi S3 alloys to replace my current ones. they finally came, but the3y dont fit!

Wtf!? The stud pattern although 5 stud does not fit and i think its called the of set is different. WHY!? i have seen toledo's with them on before and everyone recommended them to me, and i thought the leon/toledo is based on the a3 chassis?

So annoyed. i had to today go out and spend 300 quid on tyres for my current alloys as i was waiting for these s3's to come.

any help would be great

new style S3 im guessing so they are 5x112

Have you got a picture of the wheels you are trying to fit ?

Yup, sounds like you've got 5x112, whereas you need 5x100

If there the S Line A3 alloys there 512 as mentioned as I've got a set here.

grrrrrr.... darn it.

the spare was mint!

Mk1 leon and audi stud patterns are different as you now know. 5x100 v5x112
If you see any 'audi' alloys on a Mk1 leon they will be replicas. Well certainly any from fairly recent years.

There normal S3 wheels from MK1?

can't see why they wont fit?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

What are the markings on the back?

What ET does it say and does it say 5x100 or 5x112?

 

[V5-Ant]

hmmm.... any ideas? Is the stud pattern different on V5's? I do have a tolly, but knew i wouldn't get a reply lol

il have a look when im next home, but they must be 112's

 

[gezmeister]

Not unless someone has done a 5x112 conversion on your tolly?

 

[MarkWales]

whats on the original alloys also

bloody hell that spare wheel isn't sitting face down flat is it ?

older S3 Wheels are 5x100 so you must of got the S-Line ones instead of RS6 reps

 

[tmparry01]

S4 wheels maybe???

Think tmparry01 is right, are they 18"
