Default Need some help please.....(wheels)
I am currently running a set of ASA 17" mags (for winter use) on my 2005 S4.

I have no other size info on these wheels (been using them for 4 winters now) but I would like to know if they can be used for my incoming A5 S-Line which will come with 19"

Would they fit on the A5 if they currently fit the S4?

Will 17" clear the brakes?

Any help would be appreciated.

Default Check the rotor size between the two
It looks like the rotors up front and back in the S4 are just slightly larger than the A5. Most likely it'll clear, unless the calipers are bigger than the S4.

Center bore on the A5/S5 is larger. Older Audi wheels will not work

^Listen to Bryan. 17" will clear the brakes on an A5, though.

Can you not get new bore centers as are common for aftermarket wheels?

Default Actually, you can bore out the center to make them fit. That's your only choice besides getting new
rims.
