16" RS4's on the Corrado

Recommended Posts

Well as some of you already know I've had a few problems in getting the right wheels for my C. I wanted those 'Azev A's' so bad but, they just wouldn't fit. My car was up for the MOT last Friday so I had to get the new wheels with new rubber (my old tyres would not of passed MOT) for that. The shop where I got the wheels from onlt had two types of 16" wheel to fit, the 'S2' & 'RS4' so I decided on the RS4's (same as Andi's)

 

My pictures always turn out too dark with the digital camera. When I try & fix them in 'Photoshop' they are better but don't do the car justice. Anyway heres the new wheels

Yeah, those particular wheels are 5 stud. I'm not sure if they're available in 4 stud fitment, I can ask if you like!

 

Yes Kev, in real life the car is satin silver. I just can't take a photo that shows it properly.

you can get them in four stud, cause my dads put them on his audi cab and thats four stud. So guess the 17" should fit the corrado too.

Aren't the 4 stud Audi wheels 4x108PCD, whereas VW is 4x100?.... :?

 

Yes, they are different but I think the aftermarket wheels can be made with a double fitment. I was told that the holes in the wheel are slightly ovaled so as to fit on both makes.

 

Mine are made in Italy btw, & I didn't notice any oval on them.

I have to say, putting these 16" wheels on has given the car a new lease of life. The 205 x 45mm profile tyres gives that little bit of extra comfort without loosing performance. They just feel right :D

 

The rolling radius of the wheels is almost identical to the original set-up & this gives many benefits including;

 

The speedometer is now reading correctly.

The gearing is the same as original therefore the car is not slowed up as before with the 17"s.

This set-up is now perfect for the corrado's running gear i.e. bushings, alignment etc.

There's a fair bit of protection from the 45mm tyres (no more swerving around like a mad man avoiding potholes)

 

I'd say its easily the best mod I've done :D
