    I would never use aluminium adapters:

      Convert a Coupe? you'd need custom parts and machining, there's a few forum threads with showing it. Not an easy job, best way on the Coupe is just use 5x112 to 5x130 adapters.

        Using bolt through aluminium is fine but you have to know how much engagement you have if you are bolting to. You want a least one and a half the diameter of the bolt as engagement so a real thick spacer needed.

        I would go PCD changing spacer as well as much easier unless you want full RS brake setup.

          just stick to the coupe setup and run a brake upgrade.

          get some big front brakes as most of the efforts there.

          having said that if you really want it go for it as mods are a personal thing.

              It's a straight swap

                Thanks very much! Didn't want to use the adapters although it is the easy option. I'll have a rummage through the thread and hopefully get cracking.

                  If hub diameter is enough is simple to get 5x130.Get hub out,bearing out,get it to a milling shop,and with dividing head/rotary table will do another 5 rounds positioned in the middle of the stoch 5x112.But as i remember audi hub would not have enough diameter to get 130..
