    It's not the tyres, but the wheels. Wrong pcd, likely wrong offset

      Find out what the offset is for the old and the new, this is the last piece of info you need to calculate the fitting.
      Then go to town with this calculator Wheel Offset Calculator

      Oh check the stud pattern too. You want 5x100 not 5x112, later VW and audi are 112.

        PCD is almost certainly wrong unless they're reps in 5x100. Real A8 wheels will be 5x112 and will not fit.
        Nothing to see here...

          thanks guys for the help

          unfortunately i was to late and missed out on them

          the rims sold for $150 which was a bargain and one of em had bit of gutter rash and didnt worry me to much.

          just got to keep lookn.

            Did you read anything we said? They almost certainly would not have fitted regardless, so you've just avoided spending $150 on wheels you couldn't use.

            And for $150, I'm pretty sure they'd have been reps and not real A8s - such things generally tend to be low quality...
