They must be the A3 version that doesn't fit the A2. Do they have an 8L0 part number?

They do fit perfectly as they are a 5x100 fitment too but require spacers between 5 and 15mm to push them outwards and prevent rubbing on the wheel arch liners.

Edit- they will also require the standard A3 tyre size of 205/55/16 replacing too so you are actually right in saying they don't fit as they are 😁👍

You can't fix too low ET with spacers.

No obviously not, spacers lower the ET number (or bring the wheels further outwards) but 5 to 15mm spacers bring down the ET (or offset) of 44 on the wheels that we were referring to between 39 and 29. Personally I would fit 10mm spacers on these wheels and bring the ET down to a nice mid point for the A2 at 34 👍
 
They are 195 60 15 Yokohama WDrive Winters. I know they are slighly biggers but no rubbing as ive done the steve edwards dune look on this car, some may spot the cheeky allroad sticker on the side

Morning Steve,

I knew I’d seen these wheels on question on an A2 before. They’re shown on the very first picture on the Project OEM thread all the way back at Post #1:

Just going back over the initial few posts and cannot believe how quickly it transformed into what I drive now, such a great purchase which was all down to you Sir.

Kind regards,

Tom

Sorry for the lack of netiquette of reviving a thread, but I remember seeing one of you's A2s wear these 17s, and they are the right PCD - is it just the Mandela effect or can any one of you recall who it was?

Were there two slightly different styles of 17” nine-spoke sport alloys?

Asking as I currently have two A2s on the drive, but one has arms that have a continuous ridge (and seemingly a deeper dish) but the other does not!

Could anyone clarify/explain?!?

If you remove them I think you will find that one set are original Audi, probably Ronal, and the other set aftermarket.
