Would you put merc alloys on a B5 S4.. everything is right except the bore which is 66ish vs 57 on the audi?

cheers

You need to get a ring to take up the differnece and I beleave you may need to do something with the bolt holes. I think the merc uses smaller bolts

I think some people on the B5 Passat site have done it. Might be worth google'ing it...

I've seen AMG wheels on a S4 Avant on the web somewhere.........

Looked quite good.

I sold my spare AMG's before I sold my C-Class. I'm sure the rears would have been too wide though.

The pcd is (stud patten) is the correct 5x112, however the center bore of the wheel is a fair bit bigger. So you will need to reduce the size to 57mm.

The offset could be an issue some of the big mercs run low offset say et20. This will stick out too far on say the S4.
