Heads Up - Cheap Wheels.....Possibly?

[v8s4me]

These are on eBay at the moment. Correct width and PCD (yes/no?) but I've no idea about off-set. No connection with seller, just thought they might be of some use.

The PCD is wrong.

[GreenV8S]

The PCD is correct, surely? The Sierra hubs use a 3" square stud pattern which corresponds to a 108mm PCD. The advert doesn't say what the inset is though and the pictures don't show the internal clearance. They're also wider than the OEM hubs so you'd need to be extra careful about the geometry, especially at the front.

Are they? Ours are 7J so I assumed 7JJ in the add was a typo. Is 7JJ wider than 7J then?

[phillpot]

108mm PCD sounds ok to me, 7" is correct but offset/inset could be an issue (might need spacers)?


The J or JJ refers to the shape of the rim where the tyre bead seals. It's all a bit complicated But I imagine it wouldn't be an issue.

[mk1fan]

I thought the PCD on the S was 104mm?

[glenrobbo]

I just measured Percy: 108mm pcd is correct.
But you need to find out the offset of those wheels. ( If anyone is interested in them.)

[greymrj]

108 is correct but, as has been pointed out, offset is unknown. Unfortunately seller doesnt say which Audi. It is possible to get the offset for each Audi model off the 'net.

Maybe it would be easier to ask the seller if there is an 'ET' number on the back?

I think that would be far safer as I am not sure these are original Audi wheels and may not have original spec offset. (personally I am not keen on them anyway!!)

seems like a lot of fuss about some sh#tty wheels that nobody wants anyway

cmon now mike, they could be worse ..

You're right - the originals would have been 7" with 1" ET.

[greyhulk]
