AT Italia s5 16" 225 60 16
Just got a 2001 a8L, It came with the 18" "pie plates" I was able to get a set of AT Italia s5 16" 225 60 16 from my friend and wanted to know if I need new lug bolts to mount them on my ride? I see from the tire chart on Audi pages that I should be able to put these 16" wheels and tires on with no issues. Any input would be great thanks in advance. Photos coming soon!!!!

Probably do need new lug bolts.
Audi wheels require lug bolts with ball seats; most aftermarket wheels use lug bolts with tapered seats. <a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Findex.jsp">TireRack</a> will probably sell you a set of the proper type and with the correct length.

Re: You are going to use them for the winters right? An A8L with 16s would not look so great IMO.
