Hi all. I’m trying to find a pair of the wider 8.5 rotors for my 8p RS3. With or without tyres. I have the standard wheels and could do an exchange. Thanks. Anyone got pictures of these fitted to a car. Does anyone know if any other model will fit like RS5 ???

Thank you

A5 A6 & A4 wheels have a larger centre bore. I think its 66.5mm and A3 RS3 wheels are 57.1mm. So any none A3 RS3 wheels will need a spigot to centre the wheels, even though they are the same 5x112 stud pattern

I do have a pair of 8.5J 8P RS3 alloys - as shown here:

 

PORTMERION_471b.jpg
 
Purchased new in 2013 from Germany; way before they became listed/available here in the UK
 
Done 5K miles max - shared with winter wheels/tyres and hospital runs
 
Sell with 255/30 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres at 7mm - currently fitted
 
Never potholed, kerbed, refurbished, punctured, ever...
 
Note: I've a pair of 8J 8P RS3 alloys with 235/35MPSS on eBay now but could be persuaded to swap/sell these instead
 
ONLY reason to sell: our RS3 BLUEY now on a very low mileage annual duty and for sure will be selling soon, but NOT just yet
 
PM me if interested
 
No rush...

I can vouch for the condition and for John, a very well know Gent in the Audi Circles.

I am tempted to have his winter set, but currently have 2x brand new MPSS 235’s on a mint set of 8.0J alloys stored as it is, and a possible move in the cards.
