I put these on my 2010 (B&O, Technology, Nav and 19") Black on Cinnamon brown.
These are 18" RS4 replicas. Just waiting on white gold.

Does anybody have any experience ordering wheels and tires online from another site besides Tire Rack? The reason I ask is I was hoping to get Nokian winter tires which Tire Rack doesn't seem to carry.

Hello,

Just picked up a new 2010 Sline Q5 and would like to know what the bolt pattern size and offset of 18" rims I can put on my audi? I have 2 sets of winter tires/wheels sitting in the garage from older Audi's:

2008 Audi Q7 255/55/R18 Bridgestone's on 5 Star German made Rims

2002 AUdi A4 Avant 16" Steel rims with Blizzaks

Can I reuse any of these Wheels?

Thanks,

Maurice

Hmmmm thanks... although I think the bolt pattern of the Q7 is 5x130 vs. the Q5 which I came across as 5x112, isn't this a problem?

I see, it's a good thing I left a tad bit of room for uncertainty in my answer .

Yes Q5 is for sure 5*12, I just recently bought RIM for the snow. In this case it will not fit. It must be 5*12 no matter what. You should be able to pick up 18" replicas for quite cheap.

I am picking up a Q5 with 20" summer tires this coming Saturday, I will have to put the winter wheels on the same day. Can someone confirm the wheel lug head size is 17mm?

Hi Soni: I went to Tirerack.com and pulled up the wheel for the Q5 Sline, there is no mention of the lug head size. Which is odd. Try calling audi they should be able to confirm. Good luck.

Awesome - Congrats. I went driving around in Richmond Hill on the side street just to catch some snow - oh man oh man it was WICKED.
