I have an Audi A5 2.0 TDI and got my hands on two Vossen VSF-1. These wheels are new but sadly not the right parameters for the car. See below:
Hub: 68.10
Part Number: VFS1-20X900+20-F
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Diameter: 20
Width: 9
Offset: 34
Color: anthracite
Profile: flat
From what I have been told which I don’t know means in terms of safety and appearance is that while these are the wrong PCD, these will sit 23mm inside the wheels arch. Could I use these with spacers or is it completely not worth it bothering and getting rid of these wheels?
If I go through with the plan, I found a Chinese supplier who can provide two 19 inch wheels with the correct PCD of 5x112. He says color won’t be perfect but for £300 with shipping it’s enticing even though these are reps. Scary!
Specs:
19x8.5J. ET40
19X9.5J. ET38
5X112
CB 73.1
Might feel and look stupid but would it be better to install the 20 inch in the front (being authentic and hence safer under the engine weight) rather than the 19 (weaker and fake).
just want to see what the community thinks. I understand the smart answer is to get rid of the plan and just get myself some gen Audi wheels for the same price but thought would try my luck to make the car look nice. Really love these wheels but safety is more important in the long run. I drive with a black box so don’t really go crazy, max speed limit will be 70 miles on motorway and 40 miles within city Max.
