If rominl says it will, it's confirmed!
I've been coming here long enough to realize that there are 2 or 3 folks who know what they're talking about or they won't post. He's one of them.

Ok a new twist.. thoughts on if this is a good idea ( please rominl )
Ive concluded no one makes an 18" space saver wheel with a 114.3 bolt pattern.
Ive come across a couple of Audi 18" wheels ie this one..
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-S3-18-spa...em140219570262
The bolt pattern is 5x112 so I would need an adapter
5 X 4.50 to 5 X 112 Wheel Adapter

An issue I can see is the offset on the wheel is +38 and the adapter adds an extra 1" Do you think thats a problem?
Cheers

18x3.5 +38. funny, first time i see offset numbers on a donut
i am not doing the calculation, but i think even with the 1" adapter, you still way within the stock wheel
now of course, i know 18" wheel will clear 14" bbk. 18" donut, i have never looked into before. i believe the s3 has this coz' it has bbk as well, so that's why they have 18" donut. but without test fit, i can't be 100% sure

Thanks Henry I think I was forgeting its only 3.5" wide. I will give it a try see how it goes, worst thing that could happen is I resell it on ebay
