SH Forester - Audi Fat Fives?
Hi
I am back in the fold having bought my third forester (had an SF and SG).
I have a set of Audi Fat Fives and wondered would they fit the forester? The PCD is the same from what I know.
I did a google search and the ET is similar 45 vs 48 so will need a shim spacer - should I go for something a bit wider like an 8mm spacer?
I looked at the hub (centre bore??) I am not very knowledgeable about all this so did a quick search on the forum here and found this:
Can any one explain this in layman's terms for me please?
Does it mean the fat fives wont fit?
Thank you

To fit properly you should use an adapter. It's basically a plastic ring that sits in the centre hole of the rim (fit from the inside of the wheel)
I think the forester has a centre bore of 56.1 and the Audi I think is 57.1 so not a massive difference, just search Ebay for spigot rings and you should find what you need.
