Audi A1 wheel fitment — 8X Facelift
Audi A1 wheel fitment
Audi A1 wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Audi A1 8X Facelift (2014–2018).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x100 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 125 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8J | ET24–ET45 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
Overview
The Audi A1 is a luxury supermini car launched by Audi at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Sales of the initial three-door model started in Germany in August 2010, with the United Kingdom following in November 2010. The five-door Sportback variant was introduced in November 2011 and began sales in export markets early in 2012. Built on the Volkswagen Group PQ25 platform, it uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension. Trim levels include SE (base), Sport, and S line with sportier features.
