25mm spacing is likely going to be a wee bit much. Paired with an ET50 offset maybe... :) I am looking for a used set so I can experiment. 25mm might not be too much... LOL
cheers,

Pak,
You'd just get away with the ECS 20mm conversion spacers, but I really don't see why one would bother.
If you really really want 5x112 pattern because you have a set of wheels? Plenty of 15" or 16" wheels around
with 5x100 pattern. I've got a set of VW NB 16" wheels. Contact me if innerested.

There are just too many to list....
I would imagine you could look through the B5 parts bin and find hubs that could fit the A4's front wheel bearings and joints and rear spindles.

I got a set off scamazon a few years back. I put them on the Jetta a couple years ago to run a set of 15" VW Lyon rims I have. They really didn't stick outside of fenders, but I don't know what the offset is. I used them in the summer months. I may consider selling them, just need to find them...

What happened was I got a screaming deal on a set of tires/wheels, and eventually scooped up a pair of the 20mm ECS adapters off that marketplace on line. Those adapters needed a bit of lathe work/fitting for use on my particular car for the hub centering to fit properly. Am not all that unhappy with 'em... :)

I've used the Amazon-quality bolt on aluminum spacer/adapters for at least 2 sets of tires, lots of highway driving, more than "normal" offroad/snow driving, and carrying loads of ~500lbs without issue.

The biggest benefit to me was having normal lugnuts and wheelnstuds to hang th

e wheel onto instead of aligning wheel/hub/bolt holes everytime I wanted to rotate tires or work on the car.
