In all likelihood the centerbore will need to be machined.
You need 66.6 mm most audi are 57.

no where does he state audi rims but as they were off a t4 i does kinda make sense! LOL if there aftermarket wheels you maybe lucky and have a plastic spigot ring in the middle

spigot ring - plastic or alloy (usually) reducing ring in the middle of the alloy wheel to centre the wheel to the hub.

have you got alloys on already? or steels?

have you still got the two bolts on each rear brake drum (11mm) heads - you may need to remove these if the new wheels foul them
