Found a really solid deal on a set of staggered Vellano Vso's In The 20" Variety Staggered. Tires are great but a touch too big so will be unloaded (285/30r20 and 245/35r20) however I'm curious the likelihood of fitment I can test fit but with rubber that large gauging will be hard. At 1500 for all (3 piece forged wheels) it's really tempting. Looking for an absolutely not or ok moderate chance of success before driving a couple hours to check them out.

Thank you!

I should add the offsets seem to be not marked on the wheels and seller doesn't know what they are or seem motivated to attempt to figure it out. Being aftermarket vs stock, likelihood is offsets are not factory. The 2006 a6 I believe is about 37-38. And my benz is 45. (2010 e550 4matic).

Having had cheaper wheels and nicer forged hre 3 pieces in the past this is appealing. Also the pothole hazards being repairable with a new lip vs wheel is a huge motivator.

You can measure the offset with a ruler, a tape measure in mm and some math.

I really have no idea what this thread is about. I'm amazed that Alex3 has an answer.

As I read it, He has some 20 inches wheels that are staggered, the rubber on which is wrong and he has no idea what the offset is in order figure out fitment.
He needs to figure that out.
The centre of the wheel is halfway between the flanges. The offset is the distance from centre to the hub. If it is from the centre of the wheel towards the front it is positive. If it is towards the back of the wheel it is negative. Math!

Thank you Alex. I will go measure them up. It's roughly 2.5 hour drive each way so was seeing if anyone had tried crossing over wheels between an a6 a w212 in the past and had luck or no luck before I wasted my time and gas. Naturally every situation would be different but figured it was worth a shot

Just remember that the width of the wheel is measure from the inside of the flange. So if the rubber you cannot measure the flange thickness to do your calculations from so get someone to hold a straight edge across the wheel on one face and you do the same on the other and measure the overall width through a slot in the wheel. This will allow you to calculate center which on a 9" wheel will be slightly more than 4.5 inches by maybe a 1/4 inch due to the thickness of the flanges. Once you now the outside width then the center will be half that from the flange.
