just a quick qeestion, i want to order new wheels for my type85 sport, what size are the the 80s 4 x 100 or 4 x 108, and what other numbers do i need to know is it et35 or somthing like that

Coxy · 13-02-09, 07:16 AM

80 sports are 4 x 100. Not sure on the ET though.
I've got a set of R8's off my sport at work, so will check back later and let you know

Agree with Basil. Factory was ET45 but you can accomodate ET35 easily enough.

i think the et is the off set of the wheel ,how far it sticks out of the wheel arch. its from the center of the wheel to the outside rim.

thanks guys, now to pick a nice rim out

Emjay · 13-02-09, 05:25 PM

good luck on the rims, I spend hours looking at wheels. Go for a nice deep dish 15" and you won't go far wrong in my humble opinion.

im thinking white multispokes in 15s. but who knows what will happen when i get up there. now all i need is to get 4 new door handles

Dont all laugh at once but would it be possible to use 4 front door handles as audi dont do the rear anymore and they look pretty much the same to me

No the locks/handles are diff

I know cos I have tried.......but i have 2 locks here if you need them

Sports are actually type 81

Type 85s have 108 pcd wheels as opposed to the 100pcd on Sports.
7" rims and 32ET are likely to cause a slight interference fit........ and you can guess how I know.

Having said that it appears that some Coupes are ok and it must vary .... build tolerences were not so hot in bygone days !
Your Sport looks like a good clean car - how many miles ?
