OZ does not list the Allroad in their "suitable" application list but the wheel is available with a 5 x 112 bolt pattern, 32ET, and a CB diameter of 79.0. Would I have any luck finding the correct spacer to correct the offset and center bore? Any suggestions?

BUt its not the effsett that is problematic.. its the center bore.

The answer is a machine shop that can make you a custom spacer with the EXACT center adaptation to fill that gap. Without it can't work..

Perhaps the link below can help you eith find a mfg for it or they may have a solution.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ezaccessory.com/.sc/ms/hm/1121866840157987/152756/nc/ee">ez accessory</a></li></ul>

I have never seen a 5x112 application that uses a 79mm bore. That's a huge bore. I believe the Mercedes bore is 66.56, and the Audi is 57.1. And that's about all that uses a 5x112- Mercedes, Audi and VW. Unless 79 is a Touareg/ Cayenne bore.

Did you look up to see if there's an application for a different Audi, say an A6 2.7Q? That would tell you if they have an application for an Audi, which would be more typical of a 32mm application. Then you would just have to source spacers as appropriate.

Also- have you looked at the BBS RWII wheel? Very similar specs and appearance. And an allroad application listed on BBS site.

Low and behold, the BBS RX 18" wheels are machined to an 80mm bore, with a factory (BBS p/n on them) centering ring to fit to an A6 57.1 bore.
Further, the BBS spacers have an outer bore of 80.1mm to fit into the wheel (actually snap into the wheel) and are machined to fit the Audi bore without any centering ring at all.
I suspect the 79mm bore on the OZ wheel is designed to do the same thing.

Thanks Ed. I'll see you next week at IKEA so we can talk more about it then.

also will custom fit center bores. If you want I can check on the company name next week.

I know many have said to stick with Hartmann's but at $142/ea I'll take a chance and see how it goes. I've had very good service from Disc Tire so far so hopefully they will take care of me if I run into any issues with these wheels.

I'll be curious to hear where yours ordered from. Did you use a DT up near you?
