I have a 1995 Nissan Primera with four stud alloy wheels and I'd like to know if wheels from a 1998 Audi A4 could fit straight onto my car without having to make any mods. Any ideas?

Both the Audi wheels and the Nissan are four stud.

The wheel itself should fit under the arch, I have to know if the hubs the wheel fit onto and the distance of the wheel bolts are the same on both cars.

Audi wheels used to have three different stud patterns:
4 stud 100mm PCD
4 stud 112mm PCD
5 stud 112mm PCD
I'm not sure if they are still the norm.

You'll have to measure it on both your car and on the Audi wheels. PCD is easy to measure on a four stud wheel measure from the outside of one screw hole to the inside of the reverse one.


You'll also have to know if the wheel offshoot is the same, or you will be putting different stresses onto your steering and suspension parts which could lead to a catastrophic failure. The offshoot is the measurement in millimetres between the wheel centreline and the mounting face, and will be stamped or embossed on the wheel, typically on the outer face near the screw holes, underneath the centre cap if there's one, and is preceded by the letters "ET" e.g. ET38 is a 38mm offshoot .

Most Audi alloy wheels are made by BBS or Ronal. The same design of wheel can be available from the maker in a size to match your car if that size does not suit any Audi.

It depends on the PCD of the wheels. The distance between the wheel nuts . Take a ruler and measure the distance, that's how you find the PCD out. Good luck.
