mate not much the A2 has a starange offsett so ive been told. So this means not much fits .

OE Tyre: 145/80R14
OE Rim: 4.5 x 14
OE Offset: 38

if u logg in to http://www.rimstock.co.uk/rimstockuk/fitmentmakesearch.php
u will be able to cross referece the sizes and find out from what car u can get a wheel from.
Hope that helps

Geordie the A2 isn'tthat strange, and I don't know where you get those sizes from - the only wheels they refer to are the special 'winter' wheels/tyres.

The standard 15" wheels are not that unusual at 5.5J X 15" ET34 so most 'standard' Golf or old style A3 wheels at 6J X 15" ET38 will do the job as temporary spares.

Cheers,

What other standard wheel/tyre size could use use as a spacesaver for the SE 16in wheels?

[Skipton01]

Just use the same 15" wheel but with a larger tyre on - it'll save cash and be just as effective.

Dunno - without offsets, PDCs and such it's hard to tell!

Cheers,

Mike

If it will fit, put me down for one, please.

Hi all, the wheels I have came off a2 audi, they are 7 spoke, 5 stud, 15" alloys.
I bought a set of 4 in order to have 1 spare (in case any of mine buckle etc ) hence the other 3 wheels are surplus to requirements. The following is the spec stamped on each inner centre flange of each alloy: 51/2J x15 h2 ET 34, other info is AS 10 62, 8ZO 601 025 plus AUDI ring logo stamp.As previously mentioned the lacquer is peeling on wheels(can be refurbished for around £40.00 per wheel ) but as spare/emergency does it matter?? finally the tyres on wheels are dunlop sp sport 200e 175/60 r15, they are worn but still road legal, you can e/mail me or PM, hope this info helps thanks, Alan.
PS, I think the ET 34 ref is the offset!.

Knocker - worry ye not!!

I was initially thrown by the 3 x 15" description, but these wheels are the original standard A2 wheels. Buy with confidence that they'll do the job of spare admirably!

All - I was similarly confused with all the acronyms used for wheels and tyres (PCD, h2, et38, 6J etc) and as such I trawled to find info which would help me understand if I could use a different wheel and tyre which would fit in the boot (I have the OE alloy which does not fit in the boot, sods law, had a puncture 60 miles from home, alloy in my garage, no space saver! audi want my arm and half my leg as usual for the OE space saver)

this site http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html#sizes is just excellent for info, piles and piles of stuff including a tyre and wheel size calculator to check rolling radius amongst other things.

I now feel I can go on mastermind with a specialist subject 'tyre anorakory'.

just thought I would offer it up for info.

ps an A2OC member has just sold me a brand new space saver for £100
Thanks A2OC
