I've already searched and I was unable to find the answer to this. I'm looking at a set of 19" wheels/tires and I want to make sure they will bolt right up without any issues. The size is 19 x 8.5, 5 x 112 bolt pattern and an offset of +35. This is going on my '01 A8L.
Does anyone know for sure?

You also have to check to see what the hub bore is....Mercedes and Audi both have the 5 x 112 pattern....but the Mercedes bore is larger, if these are Mercedes wheels, you'll need hubcentic adaptors.

Thanks for the quick reply. They are coming off an Audi but I wanted to make sure before committing to them.

Even if they came off an Audi, I would find out the hub bore size. If it's 57.1 mm, it's a direct fit but if it's Mercedes 66.6mm, you will need hub rings to ensure a smooth ride.

Sorry if this is lame, but is there some sort of list/guide of sizes that will bolt on with no adapters? The ones I was looking at are gone but I've found some stock S4 wheels (5 x 112, 18" x 8", +45 offset) that look good.
Thanks for any help.

Will +45 offset work as well? I found this chart but it seems to say that +35 is the only option:

AUDI
Model P.C.D. Offset C/Bore
80, 90,100 4 x 108 35...42 57.0
100 (90&gt 5 x 112 35...42 57.0
A3 5 x 100 30...40 57.0
A4, A6, A8, V8, S2, S4, S6 5 x 112 35 57.0
TT 5 x 100 28...30 57.0

I'm hoping a wheel taken off an S4 (5 x 112, +45) will bolt right on to my A8 without any issues.

Yes....the factory wheels on the A8 are ET48

ET45 won't always fit. 8J RS4 9-spokes won't clear calipers because the spokes protrude more inwards

I may have some chrome pie plates for sale in a few days.
