I have an opportunity to get (4) wheels off my friend's Audi 2003 A6
Quattro. They are 16x7, ET45. I have tried them on the front and they fit
with a spacer. I did not have a chance to try them on the rear yet.

Does anyone see a problem with this? I see that the original alloys have a
"LT" (light truck?) designation on them. Will the Audi wheels be strong
enough?
If this works, I plan on buying 215/65x15 tires. This combination will give
me an overall diameter pretty close to the 27x8.50-14 tires that I have
right now, which is giving me correct speedo numbers (checked using a GPS).
Thanks.
