they don't fit, bolt pattern are different between A4 and A3

are you sure though? because i've seen both a3's and a4's with the b6 sport pkg wheels and the sport pkg a3 wheels.

checked on tire rack...the bolt pattern is the same 5x112 yes?

Tires are slightly smaller for the A3 for sure - 225/45-17's instead of the 235/45-17's that the A4's have.

I guess it really comes down to what it says in your contract? Does it specify anything about changing wheels and the such? What about having seperate rims for snows? What happens if you damaged one of the wheels?

I bet they wont even notice.

Because that's what you're doing.

they fit,,, im running S4 18s, same offset ET45, stock A3 is ET56 so you need spacers for A3s on A4

a used car we bought that was originally leased had the cargo cover over the cargo area (avant) missing, and it was turned in that way from lease... that's a $500 part
