Newbie here - want to know if the Audi S4 (B5 chassis) wheels fit on the EV? 17" x 7.5" ET 45, 5 x 112. Tire is 235/45/17
Mods or spacers needed?
Thanks!!

Ooops. Got too anxious with the typing finger.
I meant Audi S4 (B5 chassis) wheels!
Hope that clears it up. |

Other than the offset, those wheels will bolt right up to your Eurovan (lugs seats/holes and the centerbores are identical).
The offset may not be an issue at all. I'm just not familiar enough with the Eurovan to know how much offset they can take without fouling the suspension.

Loogy,
In your Eurovan experience, Is wheel fitment between Eurovan and Vanagon pretty similar? If so, are there any OEM wheels (Mercedes, VW, Audi) that are direct bolt on?
I suppose with your custom spacers, I could choose most any wheel with workable ET, and have a spacer made.
I have seen EV's with 19" wheels. What max diameter wheel size would you recommend? Width too for that matter.
Thanks man! |
