Hey guys I was wondering if you could help. I have managed to buckle two of my 18" alloys by hitting a pot hole on the road in my 2009 B8 Audi A4. I have been offered a cheap set of s-line Audi A3 alloys but am unsure about the fitment.

The original wheels on my A4 are 8.0j x 18" offset ET47 with a 245 tire,

The wheels I have been offered are 7.5j x 18" offset ET54 will these fit no bother and if they do can I still use a 245 tire?

Cheers

I think the stud pattern is good just not sure about going with a smaller width wheel? It's a really good deal am getting tough decision

Should have taken a pic of the pot hole and the damage caused and get the council to pay for it?

245 on a J7.5 is a bit too fat really. Id say 235 max
