Default Winter Tires

Hi guys,
Picked up my new 2015 A3 just in time for winter.

I found a used set of 19inch A4 S-line for a good deal.
(19x8.5 - offset / et 43. 5x112 bolt pattern)

Do you guys know if these fit with no clearance issues?

No clearance problems, but if there are potholes in your area, I would not go with 19" wheels. You should go with 17 or 18".

Depends on where you live, wheels will fit with no problem, but I enjoy having a 50 profile 17" tire to survive early spring in Cleveland.

FWIW, even with 18" all seasons, the potholes in New Jersey were up to the challenge and blew a tire on me anyway.

the hub on the A4 is 66 vs 57 on the A3. I think you would need hubcentric rings to make them work.

I'm in the Akron, OH area. Went with 17in ones as well.

Thanks for the help.

Decided on a 17in.
Found a old set off a A6

Alloy rims from 2008 A6. - fits 225/R50 17 tires
Size:7.5J x 17 ET42 (offset +42 mm).
Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5 x 112
Thread Size (THD): M14 x 1.5
Center Bore (CB): 57.1 mm

Anyone know if this will fit on my 2015 A3?? I think it should
