audi rims on mercedes

[joboo]

I am wondering if most audi fitment rims will work on my 95 c36. I know the bolt patterns are the same but what about the bore size? can I get hub center rings or do I need to get them custom fitted? I have chance to get a set of rims with a 5x100 and 5 x112 bolt so I am not sure if it will work? Is this enough info or do I need more info to make decision?

no the 5x100 wont fit. our cars use 5x112

make sure the offset are correct otherwise the wheels probably won't clear the big brakes

I got my brothers 19 adr xfactors with 235-35-19 toyos from his 99 A4.
2 things

1- they did not clear the front calipers!

2- the mounting flange on the rims was thiner than the amg so in the rear the lug bolts went farther into the hub and hit the ebreak and locked the wheel.

I now have a set of adr battle exe 19's
the front has a 8mm spacer. I have a H&R spacer on order thats 5mm im hopeing its enough. the rear just got shorter lug bolts.
Hope this helps

quick question, since we are talkin about sizes -

will 245/40/17 fit on the front ?

[NISMOPOWERED]

I think that would depend on how rubbing in turns youll put up with.

The rims in question are 18x8 & 18x9 and they came off an audi TT. So any input would be great. Do you know what the offsets should be?

[joboo]

OK the rims are 18x8 w/ 32mm offset for front and the rears are 18x9 w/ 38mm offsett. Please help. Will these fit my 95 C36?

if i'm not mistaken the stock E55 wheels fit the 202 that measure 18x8F et31 / 18x9R et35..so it should, relativity speaking

only true to find out is to test fit...

where did you get the 8mm spacers from? and does it have the lip thingy on it?

Doesn't Audi use a different diameter hub then Benz? We have 66.56mm hubs (I think). Make sure those Audi rims have that size bore. Else you'll need a way to make that bore the Benz size like a centering ring (if the rims support use of one) or spacer that has a flange to serve as a centering ring of sorts (with the assumption that rim would have a larger bore).

The 8mm spacers are just cheap ones. thats why im getting the 5mm from h&r. They do make other sizes also.
As far as centering rings they are not always needed. Most of the time they are only put on if the car has a vibration.
