16x6 - 5 hole rims off an A4 fit my 300td?

Winter is coming and I am in dire need of snow tires (cheap because I'm a dirt poor college student).

Will 16x6 - 5 hole A4 rims/tires fit my 83 300td?

The tires are Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 P215/55R16's. He's asking $120 for 4 rims/tires.

Is this a deal? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Its the center hole that I would be concerned about ,112x5 is your bolt pattern I believe ,a test fit would be in order.I tried vw cars before for mercedes switch over ,bolt pattern wasnt right.Audi not sure ,call a tire shop ,they can search your car and compare it to the car you want to install from .Nothing better than trying one for fit though.

I think the Audi center hole is the wrong size. This topic has been the subject of some previous posts, do a search and you will likely find your answer.

only the newest audi A4's (B8 chassis i think) have a center hole that is big enough for the mercedes to use thier wheels.

i dont know about the offset though.
