Cheers man means a lot, just trying to share all the info I’ve looked at in the past that would be useful to others
I second that. 🍻
You must of read my mind! I’m right in the midst of sorting spacers and maybe changing my wheels and this has helped massively! Thanks man!
Brady haha at least I didn’t make you think about new wheels so I can’t be held responsible for costing you money 😂 glad was of some help to you 👍🏻
@@TheParrottBros haha!! Don’t worry I won’t mention your name when I tell the misses 😂
Brady was just about to say exactly that 😂
@@TheParrottBros 😂😂
This channel's godsent, literally everything I could ever ask for help with. Thanks Parrott Bro's
Thanks appreciate the comments
Just got a MK1 TT and your videos have been invaluable so far. I'm wanting to keep mine OEM looking as you see so many that have been modified (a rarity for me as I'm usually all for modifications)
A lot are leaning towards keeping them oem+ nowadays as they become modern classics. Hope your enjoying the car and if you need anything you know where I am
@@TheParrottBros I can imagine that being the case, finding them to be original becomes the rarity. I'll be sure to check out your other videos, the video re headunits was especially helpful 👍
Dom, you nailed this one! This has to be the best MK1 wheel overview out there hands down. Just awesome, great work as ever!!!!!
I have some questions which I will mail you with (thanks for ALWAYS replying & with such useful info). It’s about time I bought you a drink!
For me the standard RS 18” just says MK1, a classic solid looking rim. Personally I would add a spacer but that’s not for everyone. If you want standard rims the RS gets my vote, it may be a common fitment but, in good condition looks great.
I agree they are probably the best looking / iconic wheel for the MK1 TT. There seems to be a massive influx of replica wheels which are made out of chocolate though 😂
Company’s obviously saw how popular they were in the early days and decided to capitalise on it.
Fitment wise they sit perfectly with 15/20 from and rear spacers I agree.
Thanks for the comment always nice to know I’m doing something right 😂😂
Thank you for this
Great info!
Thanks so much
Thanks buddy
Thanks Dom, really helpful video. I've got to say my favourite alloys are the OEM ones on the QS, however all the alloys you can get for the TT Mk1 look great!
Thanks for the comment, yes mate the tt did get a great choice of lovely wheels. The Qs wheels really are special & the only staggered fitment. Seen them fetch over £1500 in the uk
Most helpful.
Thank you
Thank you very much for the explanation!
I like the 18 inch BBS RS2 :-)
You are welcome! They are a beautiful wheel and truly suit the mk1 design
Can you do a video on wheels for a mk2 TT please
Since you're doing everything you need to know on ribs and tires maybe you should do a specialty video on how the CV axles for the Audi Tt actually relate to the tire size.
I've had so many parts stores tell me your rim size doesn't have anything to do with the CV axle.
At this point I just say Okay your computer will ask us in a second.
Nice
Another great video, thanks!!.
Question, what is your opinion on PCD adapters. I’ve only recently bought a TT and am wondering about upgrading but to official Audi wheels but from the 5x112 range.
Providing you buy good quality ones I’ve never seen an issue, cbauto make some. Now for that exact fitment so check them out before buying elsewhere, all his products are made to a very high standard
Great video and super helpful. I have a 2002 Audi TT ALMS that is strictly an autox and track car. We moved classes this year and can run any size wheel and tire we want. We can also cut or roll the fenders to make more room. Do you have any idea what the widest tire I can fit would be? Ideally, I'd like to get to 10" wide, get fender flares for the poke (which is acceptable per the class rules) and get as much grip as possible. The only concern really is up front, how wide can we go before we hit the frame or anything mechanical. Any thoughts?
As long as your offset isn’t too high you shouldn’t really have any issues with inner rubbing. You can run an 8.5” wheel and and 15mm spacer without any issues so a 10” wheel at the right offset will be fine with a flare or some trimming no problems
gracias por la explicacion de las llantas
Hi great channel
Was just wondering will the Audi a2 9 spoke wheels which are 205/40-17 7j with an off set of 38 fit my mk1 Audi TT?
Many thanks Dave
Thanks for this, I'm in the midst of deciding what to do with tyres/wheels.
My old set of V6's have always had slow flats despite having new tyres, might be a bad fit or dirty inside of the rim or something else so the temptation is to look at new rims/tyres...
They are quite a timeless design, look great especially when clean and tidy.
I keep toying with the idea of new wheels as well but the budget keeps going on to other repairs 😂.
At least now the world is your oyster knowing what fitment you need and that 👍🏻
@@TheParrottBros I was thinking something else from the Audi range, Mk2 10 spokes for instance, but they're ET47, 8J, 5x112 (8K0601025CB)
Trig0r plenty of choice out there. Must be able to get some 5x112 adapters if that’s the wheels you like as could do with lowering the offset anyway 👌🏻
@@TheParrottBros there's a few different ones tbh, I'd rather stick to stock Audi wheels, even if they are from a different model..
Trig0r I get that, I’m on the fence, some stock wheels look amazing but a small part of me wants some track style wheels like compomotives or similar
Loving your vids mate, great work, thank you 👍👍👍
4 Spanner Mechanic thanks appreciate the comment
They also fitted the 18 INCH 9 spoke (RS) WHEELS IN 8 AND 8.5 staggered on the SPORTLINES
Good to know thank you :)
Can you pull out a 9' et5 at the rear and 8' et 5 at the front without sticking out? I'm looking at porsche macan rims so these ets include a 16mm adapter...
Do some v6 models come with the 9 spoke 18inch wheels from the factory instead of the v6/7spoke wheels?
Really useful! Ive been wanting to this for a while now but didn't know enough about it
Anthony Murray glad you enjoyed it and can now put it into practice and as always. Wanna see pics when your done 👌🏻
Good video, gonna take a look at my alloys see if they need changing
something I didn't think I needed to know but I'm glad I watched 👍everyday is a school day ... Thanks Dominic
DodgyDC that’s the best kinda day, specially when you learn something helpful. I always try and learn something every day if I can
Hello, very informative 👌
Question:
2011 Audi TT Quattro
Currently Rubbing sounds only when I hit bumps..
18X8.5 ET30 F Wheels
18X9.5 ET35 R Wheels
245/40 18. Tires
What can I do to fix problems ...
Spacers?
Different size tires? What size?
Help, thanks
You need to look and see where it’s catching to work out what to do, use the will they fit calculator to see if and where they should sit.
The wheels will leave marks where they have been touching. If inside edge use spacers. If outside edge smaller tyres
xxr 527 18x8.75 et35 do these fit without spacers?
xxr 527 18x8.75 et35, will it fir without spacers?
Thanks for all your information. It really helps me here in Texas
It’s my pleasure to share my knowledge and research with other like minded petrol heads

Wow thats some rubber, do they fit under standard arches ok? bet they look brilliant
@@TheParrottBros no they are spaced out 1.25 inches. No rubbing looks really good I get a lot of compliments.
TT MK1 225 Coupe - BBS RS-GT Diamond Silver on a silver car with either Yellow or Blue callipers.
Yes!! that would look so slick !
Thanks mate good job keep it up 👍🏾
Another 10/10 video!
On the TT I just bought there are the 9 spoke alloys, but they’ve been painted black and red so will want to get them refurbed to the original colour I think on a black TT
TSM thanks buddy! Yeah black cars really suit a light coloured wheel for that contrast. Otherwise they get lost into the car 😂. Your the right man for the job by the sounds of it. Looking forward to see it when it’s done 👌🏻
The QS are my favorites but they are extremely hard to find in the US :/
i ve some questions..tts come out with spacers on stock?or hasn t any spacer? i ask that because in my country spacers are illegal..and where can we find quattro 18 wheels?never seen one on ebay...anyway without a spacer how many et you suggest from front and back like looks on the red tt in the video?15 front and 10 back?
Play, no TT left the factory with wheel spacers. Most TT wheels that are 18 inch or around ET 33, you can add a 15 mil spacer all around and they will not rub
10:18 now that's a beauty
are you a little bias 😜
what wheels are they? awesome!
Hi again, thanks for your advice, I bought the TT I showed you, Its awesome...... great deal, was wondering will a 2013 TT wheels fit a 2006 TT?
Awesome! Welcome aboard 😂
They won’t I’m afraid as they are 5x112. The MK1 tt is a 5x100.
Thanks Dom
@@TheParrottBros Thanks again Dom you just saved me $500. If you are ever in Australia, message me, You are brilliant, Thanks again, best youtube channel EVER!
@@Eskay1206 haha your welcome and I wouldn’t say that one day I might hold you to it 😂

Can you help for black wheels on an audi tt 2009?
Hey, take a look on the below link for details
www.wheelfitment.eu/car/Audi/TT%208J%20(2007%20-%202014).html
Hope that helps
Did 18 inch wheels came on non quattro/225 models from factory? For instance fwd 180?
225’s are always Quattro, wheels were optional depending on buyers request. Usually on 150/180s were 16/17”. You can fit 18”s on any tt
Without issue though
Hey Dom, love the vids, i'm a new mk1 TT owner downunder in Sydney. Do you know what are the wheels called at 5:48 on the red TT?
They are Quattro sport wheels buddy, genuine oem wheels from a 240hp Quattro sport TT
@@TheParrottBros cheers for the quick response. Might be tricky to find a set in Australia but will try
Same as the vw gti 1.8 mk4
Please parrott, can I fit porsche carrera 2001 wheels on mk1 225?
The wheels would need adapters as a 2001 911 uses 5x130 pcd so you will need a spacer and converter from 5x130 to 5x100 if they make them, also the offset is really high so will need big ish spacers to counter act that
Great vid! I have had my original 5 spokes refurbished and finished a dark grey, I love how they look on my green TT. They need doing again now, lasted seven or eight years so can't moan. I'll do them exactly the same, but I admit I do like the look of Rotiform kps, especially dark grey or black. Btw I know you have a coupe but if you ever do a vid on cabriolet hood replacement options I would be very interested! Cheers again.
Mark Evans thanks for the comment mark, yeah green and grey is a lovely combo. Audi make some lovely stock wheels specially when they are clean and in a nice condition. Just looks right. I’ll add that to the list of possible future videos. I’ll see if I can’t find a cheap one over winter that needs work 😂
Thanks Dominic, had no idea what offset referred to on wheels until I watched this.
Great stuff, makes it all worth while 👌🏻
Hey great info currently runningvtyres on my audi quattro tt mk1 that was fitted by previous owner, lots of problems with clicking cranking noises want to up grade but have absolutely no idea. I live in Australia can you help please i like these ones .
Mark 10.10 point on your TH-cam video black audi with black wheels 😊
hey, what brands do you have to choose from out there ?
@@TheParrottBros thank you for your reply, gosh not sure, might have to do some research in that area what ones are fitted to that picture i sent and what inch are there.
Make etc
Kind regards Marie Ross
Have no clue on where to start, I'm a bit confused with the stud size as i have a five stud wheel and not sure what wheel with off set etc 😳
Another great video. I have the 9 spoke 18" in black on a red roadster
Nick B ooo bet that looks nice, red cars really suit black wheels. I just hate trying to keep black wheels clean and the tyres looking blacker than the wheels 😂
Great vids buddy keep em coming, One thing to think about for people i had to fit spacers after fitting KW coilovers they rubbed on the front.
Roy Fitzpatrick thanks buddy, I’ve covered that in my coilover and suspension video but great shout mentioning that. Also aftermarket Calipers can cause massive issues too
Very useful video. I’ve got a crush for the 6 spoke 17 inch typical TT alloys.
NIck Pitsakis sometimes it looks great just nice and simple 👌🏻
Hello! I just bought a TT 225 roadster and I have a set of OZ superturismo GT 17x8 offset 35 the problem is that these are 5x112, do you think I can fit a 20mm spacer without the wheels poking out? I’m not sure and I would like to avoid wasting money buying the spacers and ending up looking horrible Lol hahaha thank you for your help!
Good evening, so you need pcd stud conversion spacers. TT wheels are usually et35 and on the rear you can use 20’s the front usually 15mm is the perfect fitment.
A square 20mm fitment may well be a bit close in the front
@@TheParrottBros thank you for your help!
where do u find these thy look so good 6:18
Votex wheels are likely to be found online second hand. They are a oem approved performance wheel which was available along with bumpers and side skirts.
Thx man
I am thinking of putting a set of 19 x 8.5 Audi A5 wheels on a late '00 or early 2000 VW Beetle, to help fill the enormous wheel wells. From what I've read it will work, fine. Thoughts?
i believe A5 wheels may be 5x112 so you will need a stud conversion spacer to make it fit, checke the year of the A5 they are coming off online on a Wheel pcd website to be sure, but yeah should fit fine providing the offset works out
@@TheParrottBros Thank you for your time!
My fav is audi TT Rs mk3...
I would like to have one of these on my TT mk1 Roadster but they're 20 inch... Not sure if it would be too much.. XD
They are beautiful wheels but yes 20’s wouldn’t work well on a tt I’m sure. Optimum is 18’s, 19’s are on but would start to negatively affect car
@@TheParrottBros negatively like for example? :s
The larger the wheel, the shorter the tire's sidewall and the wider its tread must be to maintain the same outside tire diameter and prevent reducing the tire's load-carrying capacity. The shorter and wider the tire, the better the handling and cornering grip
wheels that are much larger than the car's original set could have a negative effect on the transmission by causing it to work harder than normal in order to turn the axles and move the car. Eventually, this could cause premature transmission failure
Not to mention arch space and travel
Audi A8 STAR, 8,5"x18" 5x112 + 25mm adaptors
Sounds like a winning combo
What about Porsche alloys? Seen a few TTs with 18" Turbo Twist alloys, I must admit i do like it, think would suit my moro blue TT rather well. would just need change centre wheel porsche badge for an Audi one.
Coco Shiki they do look quick good, if they are genuine Porsche wheels they will need adapters/ spacers. As Porsches they come off run high offsets and are 5x130 Pcd 👍🏻
@@TheParrottBros right ok thanks for the reply and info. Good to know.
Coco Shiki anytime 👍🏻
PCD in engineering terms, is Pitch Circle Diameter.. Another informative video...My favorite wheels are the 240 sport wheels, could not find any to buy so i bought the Golf Mk4 R32 wheels instead.
Neville Carpenter thanks buddy, didn’t wanna go into too much Info and bore people as I can talk forever haha. Plus measuring it on 5 stud is a little More tricky compared to 4 stud 😂. Thanks as always.
Yeah mk4 r32 wheels are quite a popular choice and multi spokes always look great too
Great video my friend!
Thanks lads, hope your keeping well
19 inch 8.5 inch with Niche Verona TT 2001 CONV..??? HELP
just purchased 17x8 avid 1 SL02 +35...what size tire should i be going with? thanks
Based on 8J width, min 215 - max 245 suggested. Best would be 225/45/17 as cheapest, can go slightly wider and slightly lower profile if needed
Appreciate the input and fast response!!

Hi i av a 2007 tt havent used it for 3 weeks managed to fill it up but fuel gauge now reads well past full and miles left says 540 left any ideas
Not super familiar with the mk2 set up but if similar to the mk1 the sensor has probably failed, zero your clock and do a couple hundread miles and see if it returns to normal
Mines mk 1 its year 2003
@@kevinpollard1550 ooo sorry you said 2007 in your first message, it can be either of 2 things. The sensor that’s measures in tank of the dash clocks are playing up. Usually if the clocks play up the analogue dial plays up but the display is usually accurate so leads me more to sensor.
Drive it for 100 miles and see what it’s like
Will do cheers 🍻
@@TheParrottBros my fault its 2003 model love it
Be awesome if u did this 4 the mk3 tt
Unfortunately I know very little about the mark two and three, maybe in the future we shall see
@The Parrott Bro’s u need to upgrade bro.. mod ,,then break shit and we can all learn 🤣
@@1lime1000 Believe me i want to haha
Nice video! If i clearly undestood , if i put 15mm spacers on my ET35 wheels, they will become et20 right?
Goldark that’s it buddy
@@TheParrottBros thanks
Like the ABT wheels but would prefer 'snowflake' spokes. With 'snowflakes', center of wheel seems to disappear, a very desirable illusion. Looked at an assortment of aftermarket wheels and they all had the spokes going all the way to the edge of the outer rim. ABTs have a 'lip' and ones pictured fit under the fender. Pushing the center in to get a 'lip', pushes the outer rim and tire away from the car. Is the car pictured on air bags and if not, is it even drivable?
Yeah for sure, it’s on air Yes thus giving the undriveable looks. There is so many great options out there.
Nice video i think 3sdm 06 wheels look really nice on tt
They look likely when the cars rolling and
Have a nice concave design. Very popular
Nice video again!
I’m on the market for spacers but confused. Can u advice what size spacers for a flush look on a 180bhp fwd with 18” 9 spoke wheels? Oem suspension (not lowered) 10mm, 15mm or 20mm?
15mm on the front and 20mm on the rear will give you that flush fit. If you watch this video it will show you what that looks like on those wheels too th-cam.com/video/z5UmbcFDrYI/w-d-xo.html
17" Ronals look like an Asterisk *
Turns out I have the ultra rare 'Votex' wheels... No wonder Bryn's face lit up and he asked if I wanted to sell my wheels when he did my clutch! 😂
hahaha
Quattro sport! Every time!
They are a beautiful Will, just too many spokes for my liking ha ha
Hi . ha ha , I think you may be right. I have just purchased a really nice 225 roadster. It does not have factory wheels on it and to be honest the central hole is also the wrong diameter . So, looking to aquire some. Which onces would you recommend , regardless of taste
A2s ! A2s use the same 5x100 pcd !
Murari M 😉
Another useful video from the Parrot Bro's. This video was really helpful. Great advices about wheels and tires. I have the 9-spoke TT 18" wheels with 225/40. And they suits great with the car.
The 9 spokes are a very timeless design and look lovely when rolling that’s for sure 👌🏻 thanks for the comments and support as always
6:16 These are called "Last Edition" and were delivered only with the last TTs in 2006. But you can still buy them new directly from Audi
Lucas Sinewe thanks for that info, nice to know 👌🏻
Another great vid. I’ve got replica QS’s on mine
Thanks buddy, that’s what mine came with originally but they were bent out of shape and scuffed all way round 😂
My actual wheels on the opening picture to this video 👌🏻👌🏻
Chris Barsby always nice to feature real world cars 😎
Not my car but my actual wheels 😬
What about 19" options? I've found that the only 19s that will fit directly are OZ Ultraleggeras...
I don’t know enough about 19’s as you would compromise some ride comfort with slimmer lower profile tyres which I’ve always tried to avoid as like driving hard and not worrying about damaged wheels.
You can use the same website to work out 18’s vs 19’s. The main issues I guess would be width and offset as most 5x100 cars that would run 19’s would run wider widths and lower offsets
Ultraleggeras are 👌🏻
19s fit fine with spacers,I have 235x35x19 9.5j with 20mm spacers and lowered 40mm fox racing r wheels hope this helps you.
stuart winstanley what offset are they do you know? Thanks for the info sure many people will stumble across it in future and be thankful
@@TheParrottBros there 9.5j
Aftermarket BBS CH 18 inch 8.5J in graphite
Jeff0000 bbs ch are a super popular wheel and far less upkeep than split bbs wheels that’s for sure 😂. Graphite is a favourite of mine as hides dirt well too
The xxr 527 wheels look lovely on a mk1 tt
They are extremely popular and I personally really like concave wheels so great choice. Although I would have to ceramic coat them as a pain to clean 😂
It's good to have a 'go to' Audi Gay!
Will an offset of 30 fit a 2014 A3 saloon
Kleiber Mwarumbe 2014 a3 wheels are 5x112 and stock offset is closer to 45-50
on average 5 spoke design is one of the best on 8n
You've just scared the be jesus out of me. I've just bought a nos set from my dealer, I'm sure I've got tapered wheel nuts.
Is that incorrect ? Thanks.
Sorry vortex
Votex I’m unsure on as never fitted any. If you look into the wheel where the bolts go and should be clear whether it’s tapered or radius seated :)

Many thanks, will check tomorrow.
PCD is Pitch Circle Diameter
Hi my 225 tt fuel light comes on between half and quarter full is this normal its little bit annoying
