Does anyone know if the 17" 6 spoke Audi TT wheels will fit on an R32?

I'm looking for a set of wheels while I get mine refurbished and to use over the winter months.

should fit but they may need spacers or you might find some one who will pre book your car and do all the wheels in a day i know of one such place in the neast

Will they clear the front calipers? I know theres enough room to get a brush underneeth to clean the inside... apart from the the stud pattern and offsets are the same so yes they should fit!

If they did would they not have had a spare instead of the repair kit? I am not so sure it will fit mate.

or buy a nice set of 16 inch 4motion wheels that will definetly fit (I think) PS mine are in the classifieds with good tyres and piccies.

The only reason the R doesn't have a spare is because there is no room in the boot because of the space that the exhaust take underneath. The R has a shallower boot than any other Golf...even the V6 4Motion

Ahhhh I see!!! []

They could have made a slim space saver though couldnt they? I am dreading the day I have to use that kit.

I got a flat the other day...

I managed to get to a garage before using that gunk.... Thank god!!!

andymac I saw the V6 alloys, but as they are 16" they wont fit - the R32 calipers are too big!

I know the stud pattern is the same, it's the offset I'm worried about as I don't want to hit the front calipers!

erm what size discs do the r32's use? I thought the calipers were the same?

 

[Jeffers]

R32 front discs are 334mm

Tom, some R32 drivers have purchased the space saver for the TT as it fits in the boot. The Golf Anni comes with a full size metal wheel, I think they were also trying to keep the weight down in the R32?

thought the r32 had 332mm brakes? if so, 16s won't fit

Ahhh bolllloox!!!! My boss just sent his TT back and said "help yourself to any bits you want" I looked at the spacesaver and just assumed it wouldnt fit as VW didnt do it! Gutted!

LOL....shame, they cost a few quid!

Foxy fitted genuine R32 brake discs and calipers to his old car (mrk4 TDI), and he had no problems with his wheels fitting

and they were OEM 17inch Santa Monicas

Speaking of space savers, my S3 comes with a 18" slim space saver wheel.
