BMW Wheel Fitments vs Audi Wheel Fitments

Hey i was wondering if any of you tech guys could tell me if the off set would be similar or the same for a set of CSL Reps. Would they fit on an Audi A4 B7?

Seems a little strange asking as i know they are BM wheels but alot of companies sell them Under the name VB3 for other cars and was wondering if the ones i had would fit. They fitted my bmw 320d spot on. So wondering if they will fit my new car. They look good on audi's

Without using adaptors no, BMW have a 5x120mm bolt pattern and reliatively low offsets wheras the Audi has a bolt pattern of 5x112mm and higher offsets than the BMW

You might be able to get them to fit, but as Martin has stated you'll need hub adapters.
The biggest problem with adapters is that they are in effect a spacer, so with the added 20mm of the adapter/spacer you need a friendly offset to begin with.

You need to find out the offset of the CSL reps and what offsets the Audi will accommodate and take it from there.

Useful link, I'd call them up with the info above:

VMR VB3's are also available for the E9#, it's just trying to find someone in the UK to offer them.

I was in touch with Mstyle last week, but they're not going to have stock for two months, they habe 710's but I'm not sure.
