Hello all.
I have just bought myself a mint red A3 sportback. I sold a mk2 Audi TT V6 as I have just had a baby and its not the most practical car in the world!
So, I picked up the A3 yesterday and love it! Id like to put some different wheels on it but am a bit confused about offsets etc. I have tried to search the forums but just want some expert advice before I buy something that wont fit.
I'm looking at some wheels that are listed for an A3, but have an offset of 42, stud diameter 112, rim width 8J, from what I can gather, these wont fit due to the offset? Am I correct in thinking the offset for my car is 50? How can I get around this?
Any help appreciated!
 
Standard offset for a3 is 54 but you will be able to get away with 42 any lower then you will start having problems
