Audi A1 wheel fitment — 8X
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. The A1 is aimed at young, affluent urban buyers and offers various trim levels including SE, Sport, and S line.
History & notable variants
The concept for the Audi A1 was previewed as the metroproject quattro in 2007 and later renamed to A1 Project Quattro in 2008. The production version of the A1 three-door went on sale in late 2010, followed by the five-door Sportback variant in early 2012. Notable special editions include the Motto Vehicles series from Wörthersee Tour 2010 and the Contrast Edition introduced mid-2011.
Audi A1 wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Audi A1 wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Audi A1 8X.
| 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 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
