Audi A4 wheel fitment — B6
Audi A4 wheel fitment
Audi A4 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 A4 B6 (2000–2006).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 57.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 120 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | indirect |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8.5J | ET18–ET45 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
Overview
The Audi A4 B6, introduced in October 2000, is a luxury compact executive car produced by Audi AG on the Volkswagen Group B6 platform. It succeeded the B5 generation and marked a shift towards more modern styling inspired by the C5 Audi A6. The B6 featured updated engines with power upgrades and new technologies like Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) for petrol models, enhancing performance while maintaining Audi's reputation for build quality and safety.
